Place with potential but needs cleaning
Visited in December 2023. The temples are old and situated between hills, with great view. The temple's kund (water body) was very dirty. There were many dead fish in it and the kind was sealed off. The general area around the temple also needs constant cleaning due to monkeys. This place needs cleaning, repair and maintenance. Instead they were constructing a new building there. It was sad to see such a bad state of the place. This place has a lot of potential, it should be improved.

the monkey temple
it is really worth it. Filthy, lots of monkeys, it's a pilgrim temple where you can see people bathing in the water. The temple is extraordinary built within a mountain pass, surrounded by nature. It is a "must see" 10 k from Jaipur.

PLEASE AVOID
Literally the worst place we have visited in all of our travels. IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER, PLEASE AVOID. All information on the Internet says that it is free entry but locals forcibly make you pay as a foreigner (we entered from Galta Gate). We tried refuting this but they got aggressive with multiple locals surrounding you. Hindu gentlemen are aggressive inside the temple and are very forceful trying to get you to enter further into the temple (presumably at a charge). The whole place is filthy with rubbish and rubble everywhere. I do not comment this lightly but I will be contacting the Jaipur Tourism to raise this issue.

Galta Ji Temple - A Jewel In The Rich History Of Jaipur!
I have been visiting JAIPUR for as long as I can remember, but never had I once visited, Galta Ji’s temple. To be honest, I didn’t even know there was a temple called the MONKEY temple, until my recent visit . All thanks to our friends from CROATIA who wanted my husband & I, to take them around to all the unique places in Jaipur. For all planning a visit here, I’d say you must, because this place is a marvel, with its unique rich history behind. My friends and I loved the experience, thoroughly. Just make sure you visit this place before sunset as it’s not well lit, & hence walking up the stairs with monkeys around could get a little uncomfortable. P.s : The monkeys here are used to seeing visitors around. No, they don’t attack or trouble you, just make sure you don’t look in their babies eyes as they feel threatened. I would definitely like to mention that this place in not well kept and is in desperate need of maintenance. There’s left over of food all around the temple area, especially where the devotees feed the monkeys. You can follow me on Instagram @officialsabahossein

Nice place to visit but needs to be kept clean
This place is right inside the Jaipur city limits. Once inside the temple premises, one can get an impression that this place is very far away from urban city crowds. This temple is located in between the mountains and the waterbody inside the temple premises adds a lot of beauty to this place. If this place could be kept clean and maintained well, this site can be made a very popular tourist destination and will surely attract more international tourists every year.There is no entrance fee for lndian visitors except for a camera fee, but there is entrance fee and camera fee for international visitors
