Galtaji Temple Jaipur

Galtaji Temple is one of Jaipur’s most sacred pilgrimage destinations, set in the peaceful Aravalli foothills. The temple complex is renowned for its ancient heritage, natural water springs, and sacred kunds that remain filled throughout the year. The site’s spiritual roots date back many centuries, as hermits and saints from the Nath sect are believed to have meditated here. This makes Galtaji not only a religious destination but also a historically significant landmark of Rajasthan.

The temple’s architecture is crafted from pink sandstone, giving it a palace-like appearance filled with pavilions, carved pillars, and picturesque courtyards. The presence of natural springs flowing from the Gaumukh rock formation into the seven holy kunds is considered highly auspicious. Among them, Galta Kund is believed to have never dried, making it the holiest spot for ritual bathing.

Galtaji is also popularly known as the Monkey Temple, as hundreds of playful rhesus monkeys can be found roaming freely around the premises. Surrounded by hills, lush greenery, and panoramic views of Jaipur, this pilgrimage offers a unique blend of spirituality, nature, and heritage. This 2N/3D tour has been designed to help devotees explore the temple in depth while also enjoying iconic landmarks of Pink City, Jaipur.
