This was one of the best trips from Jaipur which is 30 mins away.
It is a bathing area on 3 levels and several temples spread around the lower areas.
Women seem to use the large lower pools and children the smaller middle one. There are several vendors of monkey food if that is your want.
This is a very...

An odd place to visit but interesting. Take some money to buy nuts for the monkeys and also as an offering in the monkey temple itself. It's a fairly long walk up and down hill to get to the temples themselves.
not a great and safe place....very untidy,,,,unhygenic and shabby.....pls go there in monsoons to enjoy nature otherwise safely avoid it for ur good. monkeys r real problem...omg
from the top it was quite unexpected that there can be such a beautiful place on going down. If you are travelling by car you can bring your car down too altho the road is not too decent but that is just to avoid the walking. All in all it was really beautiful.

Well worth seeing as long as (a) you have sufficient time and won't have to miss any of the major sights; and (b) you don't have a fear of monkeys.

In a woods outside Jaipur is a beautiful religious comples built around a series of pools. There are a number of ancient temples and they follow a path up a hill. Inhabited by monkeys and other wildlife and with colourful murals and beautifully carved stonework this is well worth seeing. It is a 17th century complex.
The Galta Gorge and the Monkey Temple was the highlight of Jaipur. Three levels of sacred pools dedicated to the Monkey God. The healing pools are segregated to women, men and monkey, The sight of thousands sari clad women and turbaned men bathing and relaxing is beyond description.
