The temple is open to people of all faith and gives one the ability to do Seva, to serve humanity. its a must visit place at least once in a lifetime.

Visiting the Golden Temple was a truly enriching experience. From the moment I stepped onto the premises, I was captivated by the serene atmosphere and the stunning architecture. The intricate details of the temple and the tranquil waters surrounding it created a sense of peace and spirituality.Despite the large number of visitors, the temple complex was well-organized, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable visit. The queue system for entering the main temple was efficient, and the volunteers were helpful and friendly.Once inside the temple, I was struck by the beauty of the Golden Dome and the soothing chants echoing throughout. Sitting by the sacred pool, I found a moment of tranquility and reflection amidst the bustling crowd.Overall, my visit to the Golden Temple was a memorable and spiritually uplifting experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking solace and inspiration.

The place deserves at least two visits - one during the day to enjoy the experience in full daylight and one in the evening, when the lights are on highlighting the details. Good time is the time of evening prayers and taking the Holly Book to sleep at around 10 p.m. During the day it is worth to visit the place with a local guide who will show you places that otherwise you would miss or have no idea that you could visit like the kitchens serving 40 to 50 thousand meals each day... And you enjoy that beautiful place free. Unfortunately taking photographs in the temple is strictly forbidden - pictures only outside...

What can I say that hasn’t been said already. Truly remarkable place for visitors and locals alike. The generosity of this place is beyond any words I have. I have deep respect for Sikhs and how compassionate they are.They serve over 1M meals a day, 24 hours a day 7 days a week to anyone. It’s simple, nutritious and plentiful. Truly incredible experience that I will never forget.

Experience the positive energy here. Nice & beautiful surrounding. Few things that can be helpful for you if you're visiting here first time :Submit your shoes on outside counters, cover your head, dont take any battery/Power Bank inside & lastly take photos with precautions.

Even after going there, it doesn't feel like we have reached here, it looks more beautiful in the evening, the light around and the gold shining from the lake, it looks like a dream, this place is a symbol of peace, tranquility and community. , cleanliness is also taken special care here, it is also true that people who come here pray for their well-being and it is fulfilled, it is open 24 hours and food is also available 24 hours free for all passengers. So I will say that we must come here at least once in our life.

Undoubtedly, this is the main attraction of Amritsar and a must visit place. Whatever is your religion, you are be welcome inside. This place is definitely going to make you calm, you have to feel it yourself, no word can describe it. Few things to keep in mind while visiting the temple :1. Try to arrange an accommodation close to the Golden Temple, so that you can visit the temple early morning and late evening.2. Being the main attraction, this place can get reao crowded, keep that in mind.3. You need to cover your head, put off yours shoes and wash your feet before entering.4. They have the baggage counter inside the temple, you may deposit your bag there

It is a breathtaking spiritual oasis that radiates serenity and awe. Its majestic golden architecture, pristine sacred pool, and the soothing chants of prayers create an atmosphere of divine tranquility. This iconic Sikh pilgrimage site embodies unity, humility, and profound spirituality, leaving me with a profound sense of peace. I cannot express my feelings with words.

Golden rays of sunrise gleam,Offering hope in a tranquil dream.Lustrous shrine in Amritsar's heart,Divine beauty, a sacred work of art.Eternal peace in its hallowed dome,Nurturing souls, a spiritual home.Tranquil refuge for the soul,Echoes of prayers, a sacred role.Majestic in its architectural grace,Peaceful aura, a hallowed space.Luminous in the candlelight's gleam,Enveloping all in a serene dream.

The Golden Temple in Amritsar, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is an iconic Sikh religious site and a must-visit destination. It is a place of profound spiritual significance and architectural beauty. The stunning golden structure is surrounded by a serene and picturesque lake, creating a sense of peace and tranquility.The temple complex is open to people of all faiths and offers free meals to visitors, showcasing the Sikh principles of equality and selfless service. The interior of the temple is equally impressive with its intricate artwork and gilded walls. The atmosphere is often filled with devotional music and a palpable sense of spirituality.However, the temple can get crowded, almost daily and especially during religious festivals, so it’s advisable to visit during quieter times for a more serene experience. Overall, the Golden Temple is a unique and spiritually enriching place that is well worth a visit for its cultural, religious, and architectural significance.

Unlocked one of my bucket list. This holy place is a must visit if you are in Amritsar. Neat and clean surrounded with beautiful holy pool. I Felt calm and happiness the whole time I spend at the golden temple. Had Langer and spend good quality time with family.

Long queue but absolutely worth the wait. I loved it here, had a good spiritual experience. Generally temples are all commercialized in India but not this one, we weren't asked to pay even a single penny anywhere. And enjoyed the yummiest langar. Punjabis do have a big heart.

No words can brief the beauty, magnanimity, and majesty of this Holy place of Sikhism. It is situated in the heart of Amritsar city and conveniently located & approachable and is open for all faiths without any if or but. Certain restrictions are mandatory. Community kitchen service is open round the clock for all. This place is extremely well maintained in all respects and all amenities are available here. Cleanliness is superb and service to mankind is unparalleled.

Beyond comprehension, so beautiful, so clean, so impressive. The langar is so well organized and well done. The water is so clean, and the atmosphere so friendly despite the massive crowds. Kudos to the organizers. Visiting the Golden Temple is a very spiritually uplifting experience. The temple is open to people of all faith and gives one the ability to do Seva, to serve humanity. its a must visit place at least once in a lifetime.

Best temple ever i Visit in my life.The people who are work they're very helpful.You visit this temple with your family group and friends. Mostly crowded place. You can come with your small children also.The food (लंगर) was very nice. You should try this tyep of food.The most memorable trip ever.Visit this place & enjoy the beautiful place.

Beautiful experience in the holiest Sikh place. We visited at night (~9 pm) to witness the “putting to bed” ceremony and it was amazing . We also visited the kitchen and seeing the amount of people eating there was quite extraordinary. Keep in mind you need to take off your shoes and socks to enter the temple, but it is quite clean. If you enjoy this kind of place it is worth coming to Amritsar just to see this temple . The temple is very beautiful 😍

Smooth flow inside (entry into the main worship area does have a very long queue however) and stunning views. The temple has a beautiful philosophy of welcoming all and I encourage all to take it up.

Me and my husband visited golden temple after around 10years this time...The place is too crowded and people were so rude this time. One of the sewadar started yelling at me cos my chunni shifted a little bit on my head...Really sad what they are doing to the place. I had very warm memories about the place but it was really sad this time. The place is not what is used to be.However the area around the gurudwara is developed quite well. Lots of shopping & food options available.

On my third visit, I once again felt the same enchanting sensation that never gets old. The tranquil and serene atmosphere of the place captivates me every time.At the entrance, I removed my shoes and covered my head as a sign of respect. The chants in the background created a mystical aura that surrounded me.After taking a full round of the premises, I joined the long line towards the main center. Despite the rush, the line moved quickly, and I didn't have to worry. I always look forward to the Prasad they serve, it's my favorite.Afterwards, I went to the langar to enjoy a simple yet delicious meal. Sitting on the floor while being served in turns was a humbling experience.I strongly recommend visiting this place at least once. The atmosphere, food, and experience are truly inspiring.

It would be wrong to evaluate the place of this spiritual Guru because the Guru's house is the house of greatest peace and happiness and prosperity, there he is the house of peace and ending the restlessness of the mind. After going there, I felt that God was with me in such a way that I was not worried about any reason, I was just so engrossed in having darshan that I did not even realize that I had seen God with my own eyes.

The Golden Temple, Sri Harimandir Sahib is not only a central religious place of the Sikhs, but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality. Peaceful, spiritual, there's something in the air which calms you down.

This temple is so beautiful. Its hot springs and peaceful surroundings offer a unique religious experience. They also offer alms to it’s devotees. The over all view that the temple is situated is so good. The temple's significance in Sikhism and Hinduism, along with its natural beauty, make it a must-visit destination for seekers of both spirituality and scenic beauty.

The gurudwara is good. They offer free food and accommodation services. The quality is very good. Also this place gives a feeling of relief and inner peace.Their is also a hot spring for bath and a magnificent landscape.

We stayed here for 1 night where shiv Parvati stayed 13000 years. Here there is hot spring which started at that time. We get peace here. We can hear voice of the Parvati river.We can get 24 hours free food (called langar or prasad) and food made from hot water spring.Accommodation is also available. We stayed here 2 night. Kasol is only 4 km away.We visited this place at March-2022.

Very nice place, although i have been to many gurudwaras this one was very special. It is a must visit if you are around kasol. Given the place where it is situated and the scenic beauty that surrounds it, it is a very special place for all the tourists. The hot springs are addition to the aura of this place. One can take bath in the hot springs and get relieved of all the stress.

An extraordinary place where you can see and feel the ice cold water of the Parvati river and the boiling water from the hot springs side by side. The Gurdwara Sahib and the temples in the same complex are a symbol of peace and harmony. Beautiful scenery, huge mountains, gushing river water , bridge on the river.....all add to make a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience. Not to be missed at any cost

This place is for those who have no hatred in their hearts. All relegions are allowed to enter.Free water, delicious house-made good and natural hot springs.I visit every afternoon to eat and meditate.This place heals you from inside.And last but not least you'll get the amazing view of Parvati river and the mighty Himalayan mountains.Must visit.

Amazing peaceful experience, must visit and take a dip in the hot water spring then do the darshan and enjoy the yummy Langar and tea.There is a proper parking available there and didn't cost anything to park.

It was such a great fortune to visit manikaran sahib gurudwara and shiv temple . It's a life time experience one must visit, vibes energy are very high beside the religious belief people are very good , helpful and scenic beauty is breathtaking . I was in a rush and couldn't spend much time , I would suggest visit this place and stay nearby for at least 2 -3 days ..

Very beutiful place in the bank of parvati river... Surrounded with mountain and greenery .The main attraction of this place is the hot springs.Many devotes take hot spring bath here for good health. Here you can get accomodation as well as gurudwara special langar alltime.

Whenever you are planning a trip to Manali and Kasol, it's recommended to spare a day to visit this Gurudwara. Manikaran is a pilgrimage center for both Hindus and Sikhs. Hindus believe that after the flood, Manu recreated human life in Manikaran, making it a sacred area.

Sitting in the lap of spellbinding backdrop of mountains, this place is also known for its hot water spring. This gurudwaara which is just 3km away from kasol. We can take bathing from the hot water-spring(It is believed that bathing in that hot water cures all diseases). There is a langar(a communal free kitchen) in that gurudwara from there we can have free food and prasad. I visited the gurudwara at around 3pm and they served rice with moong dal curry and potato and brinjal sabji. It was a bit crowded even on weekday.

I visited this holy place 2 times, and want to visit again.Blessed by god who gave me chance to visit and experience place like this.Mesmerised by the beauty of nature created by god!This time we stayed here for a day and experience Langar and got free of cost room to live. LOVED IT!I hope that all religions would provide same experience as they.

Beautiful scenery, huge mountains, gushing river water , bridge on the river.....all add to make a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience. Not to be missed at any cost.

The place is honestly very peaceful and serene. The best and most unique part of it is that same place has a gurudwara and a temple both. The river water flowing with such a high speed, the bridge above it, the steam from hot springs and the colourful flags put over there create such an environment, one never wants to leave. Sitting there and simply watching people and hearing sounds of nature... it just can't be explained. JUST ONE SHOULD MAKE SURE TO LEAVE FOR MANIKARAN IN KULLU EARLY IN MORNING, WE MADE THIS MISTAKE AND WERE CAUGHT IN HOURS OF TRAFFIC. THE TEMPERATURE IS ALSO NORMAL TO WARM, SO NO NEED FOR WARM CLOTHES AT ALL.

Manikaran is located 5kms from kasol in Parvati Valley. We went there in may month so no heavy rush and no traffic jams. Enroute there are many villages.We took a bus from Kasol 10rs/person.The place is known for hot sulphur springs. There are also Gurudwara, Shiva Temple, Raghunath temple and many more small temples.Hot springs there are unbelievable.. we boiled rice and black gram in it and came to know from a local that all the parshad (like potatoes, rice, pulses etc..those which can be boiled) for langer is cooked in hot springs. It was all foggy there not due to winter but due to the fog of springs.I really liked the place and recommend it to all those who are going to kasol.Note- currently there is heavy rainfall and landslides so check the weather reports before you go.

Manikaran gurudwara is located on the parvati valley and near the river parvati. It is located about 4 km from kasol so you can visit there by car or bus. Famous place for both hindus and sikhs and other tourists. Hindus believes that the "manu" recreated the human life here at manikaran after the floods and that's why this place had been worshipped. This place having small temples of 'shiv','rama','vishnu' and main attractions of 'manikaran gurudwarasahib'. Place is absolute beauty with hot spring water and parvati river along with it. Also there is arrangement for stay and parking. I enjoyed here for around 4 hour, prasadi was so amazing and tasty, visited shiv temple behind the gurudwara and enjoyed whole view of river,hot water and Mountains. You can feel sound of nature, sound of river and breezing air.

Upon arriving in Manikaran, the first place you must visit is the Gurudwara, a sacred site for Sikhs. It holds special significance as it's the only place where you can find hot spring water high up in the mountains. Manikaran is renowned for its hot springs, situated at an elevation of 1,829 meters and located 40 kilometers from Kullu. The most prominent and beneficial spring is found at the village entrance, always bubbling with activity, believed to ebb and flow with the river's water levels. The rocks surrounding the spring exude intense heat, and the water's temperature surpasses boiling point. People can even cook rice by placing it in a muslin bag and immersing it in the hot water pool. The spring water is reputed to have radioactive properties and is thought to provide relief to those suffering from rheumatism and similar ailments. Manikaran, due to Raghunathjee and the Gurudwara, is a beloved pilgrimage destination for both Hindus and Sikhs. According to ancient lore, Manikaran is also closely associated with Lord Shiva and his divine consort, Parvati.

Very holy and spiritual place. Every one Darshan here Shree Gurudwara Sahib Manikaran and also Shree Manikaran Mahadevji. 24×7 Tea PRASADAM and Langar PRASADAM served by Volunteers and also from Gurudwara Committee.

Nestled in the Parvati Valley, Manikaran welcomed me with cool mountain breezes and breathtaking views. The lush greenery and snow-capped peaks created a picturesque backdrop, while the hot springs provided a unique contrast. As I explored the area, the sight of the Beas River flowing alongside added to the mesmerizing scenery. The tranquil atmosphere and the surrounding mountains made Manikaran a truly enchanting destination for nature lovers.

Gurudwara Sahib Manikaran is a revered Sikh pilgrimage site located in the Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India. It holds significance for Sikhs as well as Hindus, as it's believed to be associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Lord Shiva. The gurudwara is known for its hot springs, which are believed to have healing properties. It's a place of spiritual importance and attracts devotees from all over the world. Everyday they serve free foods like dal, chawal, roti etc

Absolutely wonderful. One can literally see the magic mother nature holds! The river was freezing cold and once you enter the gurudwara it was very warm and comforting. Hot caves gave us relief from the cold weather and really felt well.

This idyllic high-altitude town is renowned for its hot springs, religious significance, and breathtaking natural beauty. The high number of tourists and pilgrims visiting the town every year is proof thatManikaran is a much-loved destination in the hills.

Place in the heart of Kasol. The lord Shankar temple is there and the hot water kund is the miracle of god. Some says that sulphur is there so I agree but few things which local villagers says those are really nice and we have to trust on this. This is the reason we call Himachal as Devbhumi.Parvati Valley was great with nature.Must visit!

No words for this place. Awesome Gurudwara and ShivParvati Temple. In Gurudwara, Lungar(free food in form of Prasad) is provided inside and in Shiv Temple there's a natural hot water pool in which you can cook rice which takes 5 mins to get cooked up. Loved this place. But route of this place is under construction (25th march 2k24) so met with lots of jam and traffic.

Very good location: It is just 3 km away from Kasol., There is a hot spring inside here.It is believed that bathing in it cures all diseases..Langar is served here 24 hours .

The only place that I find worth visiting in Chandigarh. Rest of the places like their Gardens etc., are not too great. Evening is the best to visit Sukhna Lake. You can also do boating here.

Artificial but awesome. And let me tell you one thing, you will get positive vibes there also.Weekends are crowded but you will enjoy every single moments.Plenty of food stalls are available too.Perfect place for yoga, meditation and exercise..Visit once..

This was a beautiful calm place with lovely views. It was a great place to walk and along with nice tracks and even found the big Buddha statue down the back. Nice and flat, easy to walk and very pretty.

This is more than just a lake with lots of fun things to do. For starters, there are several food kiosks with moderate prices and a wide range of selections.Boating is the main attraction, and there are various alternatives available, including paddle, row, and shikhara boats. The view is spectacular, and there are various additional activities available, such as rock climbing and mini swings, to help you unwind. This is the most crowded spot in Chandigarh, yet it is also the most beautiful. You may unwind and enjoy the scenery while spending the evening with family or friends at a reasonable fee. The boating time is half an hour, but it was well worth it for a paddle with the choice of two or four people in a boat. This is a must-see place in Chandigarh.

Visiting Sukhna Lake in the evening is the best time to do so. Boating is also available here. There is also a good selection of food options. There are vendors selling everything from South Indian food to Chinese food. Chandigarh's most picturesque place.

Great place for hangout. It's a tourist place. People who came Chandigarh from other areas, always visit Sukhna Lake. The view of sukhna lake in evening is amazing. When I went there, I just sat on the boundary to feel the silence and calmness of that place. Along the Sukhna lake there's a long route for walking.

Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh is a sizable lake, and the best time to visit is in the evening when boating facilities are available. However, in windy weather, boating may not be available for safety reasons. There are plenty of eateries at the entrance of the lake, making it the ideal place to spend quality time, especially for some 'me' time.

It was my first place that I visited after coming to Chandigarh. The sunset was looking beautiful ❤️ and the air was flowing slowly. You can visit this place alone or with your friends and family.Boating is available. You can take the rides as well. You will find the peace and the fresh air.You can get the auto rickshaw from Shivalik park easily. Charge you around 20-30 rs.

The Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh weaves a magical tapestry of serenity and splendor. This picturesque man-made marvel, born from the vision of the great architect Le Corbusier, stands as a true oasis amidst the modern chaos of the city.Imagine a place where time seems to slow down, and worries melt away like droplets on the lake's glassy surface. Sukhna Lake beckons you with open arms, inviting you to escape the mundane and embrace the extraordinary. The verdant foliage of the Shivalik Hills embraces you like a warm hug. The gentle breeze carries the faint melody of birdsong, setting the stage for a symphony of nature's finest performance. One can have an awesome view of the sunrise over there with cold Breeze and pleasant weather.Majestic migratory birds from distant lands descend upon Sukhna Lake, transforming it into a vibrant aviary. They paint the skies with their grace, and birdwatchers and photographers alike are left spellbound by this feathery spectacle. As the sun dips below the horizon, the lake dons its golden cloak, and the air becomes infused with the aroma of camaraderie and laughter. Families gather for heartwarming picnics, children chase each other with gleeful abandon, and friends share stories that will echo in their hearts for eternity.Things to do at the Sukhna Lake :1. Sunrise and Sunset Viewing2. Bird watching3. Jogging and Morning Walks4. Meditation5. Boating6. Visiting Museum7. Photography8. Cycling9. Picnicking

Very beautiful place*Beautiful and attractive view*Winds keep blowing*Boating available (check on timing and availability)*On site swings for kids*Food is available*You would definitely love to spend an evening with your love

One of the most beautiful place in Chandigarh.Visit for sunset or sunrise. In winter it's too cold and in summers this place is glowing ☺️

Most picturesque place of chandigarh Sukhna Lake is a reservoir at the foothills of the Himalayas. This 3 km² rainfed lake was created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream coming down from the Shivalik Hills. Originally, the seasonal flow entered the lake directly causing heavy siltation.It has ample food joints in the food court, drinking water facilities, boating facilities (Rs 250 for 2 seater boat + 250 as security). Good for nature lovers.

I have been visiting this place for past 20 years and it still holds the charm. It brings peace and tranquility. Walking the entire track feels amazing while looking at the greenery on one side and the water with paddle boats and kayaks on the other side. It's one of the most inclusive public spaces I have come across in India. There are people running, walking, doing exercise, couples, elderly, kids and a lot more. Sukhna has something to offer to everyone. I prefer the Garden of Silence side as it's more peaceful compare to the entrance.Monsoon is one of the good times as everything is lush green and the lake is full. Winter is also great as you can sit and relax on the toasty stone embankment or the grass and eat oranges and soak in the sun.It's a place one must visit if going to Chandigarh.

Chandigarh government did a fantastic job in constructing this amazing infrastructure around the lake. There is track for jogging, running and strolling around . Plenty of old age people walking . Plenty of greenery to ease your eyes 👀. Best place to exercise and relax . Great experience 👍🏼

There is track for jogging, running and strolling around . I saw plenty of old age people walking . Plenty of greenery to ease your eyes 👀. Best place to exercise and relax . Great experience 👍🏼

Best place in chandigarh for fun, enjoy, food and boating in the lake.. price for boat is bit higher (Rs. 250 rs for 2 seater boat and 500 rs for 4 seater boat for 30 minutes. 500 rs per person for motor boat).

You can pack a picnic basket and spend a relaxing day by the lake, surrounded by lush greenery.7. Horse Riding: Enjoy horse riding near the lake, which is an activity offered by local vendors.8.

A 40 minute walk from the parking stand and a 15 steep minute climb from Air Force Station gate. The temple closes at 5pm, so plan your visit accordingly. Mobile phones/other electronic items have to be deposited at the AFS gate.

Kasauli Lower mall Road to Monkey (Manki) point is about 4 KM walk (restricted area, no taxi allowed). After about 2 KM at check point (area controlled by Indian Air Force) all electronic items and bags must be handed overed. Atop small but steep mountain visited "Hanmun temple", small cafeteria, wash rooms are available. Tranquil views with lots pine trees enroute and nice flowers around the walk was quite manageable, had awesome experience.

We rented out cab small car for Rs500, including 5 members in celerio. 10 min rides through car.Beautiful temple situated at top hill, you need to trek for 15-25 minutes, trek is easy.Your phone will be submitted at gate entry because it is air force area so phones,cameras are prohibited inside this area.If you are carrying prashad be alrert because monkey will snatch it while going back, so hide it properly otherwise monkey will snatch it.

There is Hanuman temple at highest peak of hill.1. Take a cab from kasauli market, it takes 10 minutes to reach there.2. Its military area so you are not allowed to take any electronics gadgets even phone, smart watch, charger, airpods.3. At entry gate you can deposit your phone and bag with charges.4. After that they will give you ID card and ask for checking.5. Its takes 15-20 minutes to climb only through stairs.6. You can enjoy beauty of nature in minimum 1 hour and maximum 2 hour.Note - Only temple is there and canteen is also there at top.

To reach this point one can either get a taxi or walk from Mall road. It's around 4km if you want to walk and it's doable for almost everyone. Once you reach the main entry point, you'll have to show an ID card and deposit any bag and electronics equipment (smartphone/smartwatch/cameras) as most of the reviews mentioned. There is a small deposit fee (50 for a bag with 2 phones). From the main entrance you'll still need to walk 5 mins to reach the main stairway, from where you can get to the top. The view at the top is great but if you're unlucky (like me) and go when there's foggy weather you won't be able to fully appreciate it. The only flaw is that there's no decent food points in the whole complex. The closest one is on the Mall road.

Mandir photos are not available bcz all electronic devices were submitted by Air Force bcz of safety reasons.. Beware of Monkeys please don't carry any items above not even a bottle of water or bag... They ll snatch it for sure and can even hurt you. Leave the Prasad of Mandir also above only.

We have to take a cab from market to Manki pointIt takes 50₹ per person one side.Up there mobile is not allowed and around 500 steps are there upto the top of hill. The view is just awesome.Above 60 age are advised to think thrice before going up as the steps are inclined and very arduous task for elders.

The best view point I must say, the place was open after staying closed due to Covid. No camera or phones are allowed, we have to deposit all bags at the check point and then proceed on foot. Situated in a defence area, the climb atop the hill is fun, there are steps in few pathways... but when you reach the top the view is magical and a must see... spending time at the top is very peaceful. Must go. No phones were allowed hence no photos to upload.

The peace at the temple is worth the climb.Lunch time at the pass issuing counter is 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm.Please make sure not to carry anything that is not permitted. As far as water bottle is concerned, carry as small as possible. There are monkeys on the path and will snatch anything in your hand but will not bother you if you don't bother them.

Mobile phones and other electronic devices are restricted there so can't share temple pic .I think this was the peakest point in kasauli when I visited and i found this at manki point

A divine experience. It is approx 500 metres walk inside the Airforce Complex before you reach the base from where there is an approx 500 metres climb up the hill to the temple. The climb is steep but is not as difficult as some people sound in the reviews. There are enough benches enroute…. one can catch a breath whenever required and continue. It is a proper covered, concrete paved way, interspersed with stairs. There is a restaurant and a Prasad Shop on top. There are a few monkeys enroute but they are used to humans and do not disturb you….. but will grab any eatables…. so do not carry ANY eatables….. even the Prasad on the way down !! Apart from the divine experience, the view from top is breathtaking.

The temple is almost 2.5 kms from mall road parking. You can get taxis from the parking area,personal vehicles are not allowed. The taxis will cost INR 200 one side. You should carry a small bag with you to deposit your phone and smart watch at the counter.There are staircases and ramp to reach the top. It's a good height of around 500ms to climb to reach the temple. You will take about 30-45 minutes to reach on the top.You can buy Prasad on the top itself. There is a small shop where you can eat snacks but don't forget to carry cash because you will not have for phone with you and card doesn't work here.It's quite windy at the top so don't forget to carry a stall or a light sweater based on the weather you can decideThe entry is till 1PM in the afternoon and than it reopens at 2PM. The temple is not closed just at the entry gate where you get passes these people are on lunch break.It's advised to wear shoes because the stairs are Rocky and good distance to walk.While coming back as well you can get taxis. Same INR 200 each side.Be careful with the monkeys. Don't carry eatables which are visible to them. You can have something in your bag or pocket.Overall It's a good experience

1. They take your phones and charge 10 rupees each phone.2. They take your bags and you've to pay 85 rupees for its "protection"3. You can't even put your phone in the bag, they still charge for your phones.Went there thinking it's some monkey point for fun, turned out it was manki baat point with no modi jimm 0/10 I don't recommend.plus it's a scam they take your phones so you can't even take pictures there.

This is one of highest point in Kausali. It is inside of Air Force area. From this point you can see Chandigarh. There is one temple of Hanuman ji also.Place is beautiful and must visit.

Photography is not allowed due to the restricted area and the Air Force Cantt area.You all have to submit bags and all digital equipments. 500mtr straight walk to Manki Point having a great adventure and such a great Hanuman ji 🙏 temple.

If you're a lord hanuman's "Bhakt" you must visit this temple once in your life.Manki point or the sanjeevni hanuman mandir is situated inside the air force area in kasauli, himachal and you're not allowed to carry any electronic items inside the airforce area, they provide with paid lockers to keep your stuff.Then there are mandir steps of 500m but on mount height. It's quite exhausting climbing those steps up, but when you reach on the top that feeling of temple and view from that top is just mind blowing.Legend behind temple:The legend says that during Ramayan, when lord Lakshman was injured and Hanuman ji was asked to carry sanjeevni for him, his one foot touched this mount top and hence people made a temple there dedicating to him.

Probably the best place in Shimla. Lovely trekking experience. You can trek from Mall Road to temple or take cable car ride to temple. But the trekking experience would be really great. Be aware of the monkeys, they may take anything away from you anytime.

A must visit place in Shimla. Don’t miss it. Cab charges around 1000/- from cart road.If you’re self driving roads are quite steep but good and well maintained, take it only if you can drive in thinnest roads in mountains. Parking space is available.Normal queues in temple. It’s a beautiful view from the top.

Jakhoo temple is very famous in shimla , and only ropeway in shimla to ride , here the Hanuman statue is 108ft makes it the world tallest statue of Hanuman, if you visit shimla don't miss the place , u can see so many monkeys here and view on every side , main idol very beautiful full of devotional vibes

A nice place to visit. If you are fit, go for a trek and enjoy the view. There is an escalator facility at the top. The place is neat and clean. But beware of monkeys. Don't carry any food items with you. A monkey bit a child in front of me, so be careful.

Serene and calm place to visit. We did the trek up to this temple and it’s a fairly difficult one. Alternate way is the longer route via vehicle. Well maintained and a clean place. It’s the highest point in Shimla & the 100+ ft huge statue of Lord Hanumanji is visible from almost any part of the city. Don't carry any valuables or baggage to the temple as there are a lot of monkeys in and around the temple; they don't harm you as such.

It's ancient times holy place. As it is Hanuman ji's temple, it has a lot of cute monkeys who want food and love from you. The view is awesome from the top. You should bring channas or breads or bananas etc. with you for monkeys, which make you feel good.

A must visit absolutely peaceful place to visit . Beware of monkeys .To travel uphill there are various modes one of them is you get a government taxi for 20 rs person one way from near McDonald's/ brew estate . It's quiet a climb so do try stairs only if your are habitual to it . Even where the car leaves there is a little climbing from there and that too on unmade stairs . So for elderly it's best to avoid .

Jai Shri Ram 🙏 Jai Hanuman. 🙏A 108 ft tall Sankatmochan Statue and the Natural ambience will blow your mind.Must go place once you visit Shimla.

It was a great place to visit, especially when there is snowfall, amazing view and vibe. The aura of this place is amazing.And you can access this palace without a cab service there is a pathway directly from Mall road in front of st. Christ Church, it's a bit long but you can save some money on it.

How to Reach : 1. Take Ropeway Approx 500-600 ₹ per person 2. Take a Cab Approx 500 ₹ per Cab 3. Take the staircase.It is said that Lord Hanuman took rest here when HE was on His way to collect Sanjeevani booti for Lakhshmana. The Lord Hanuman statue is around 108 ft tall and can be seen from Shimla Mall Road & The ridge. It is a very serene place. When we reached Aarti was going on and a local woman (probably possessed) was doing the Aarti and at the end Pujari ji sprinkled Jal on her and she was screaming for a while then back to normal. Didn't get time to explore the story behind it due to crowd.Pro Tip : Don't wear Sunglasses/ specs or any other valuable ornaments as monkey gangs are looking for it and they will snatch it and you wouldn't even know. Exchange it for the Prasada/Food 😁 Jay Bajrangbali 🙏

Divine place with lots of history. We went on a Sunday and just missed the Bhandara. It was a little crowded. Cable car ride to temple was worth it even though it's a little expensive. There is an option to walk all the way up, only if you have ample amount of time. Lot's of monkeys around. Make sure you don't carry any food items in plastic bags....the monkeys will snatch it. Also keep your cellphone safe. Be careful while taking pictures.

According to the Ramayana, Hanuman stopped at the location to rest while searching for the Sanjivni Booti to revive Lakshmana. A giant 108-feet-high idol of Hanuman was unveiled at Jakhu Hanuman temple on 4 November 2010. At 108 feet (33 m), it surpasses the statue of Christ the Redeemer, which measures at 98 feet (30 m), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The cost of construction was Rs 1.5 crores. The public unveiling was officiated by Abhishek Bachchan.The temple is accessible by foot, horse, taxi or ropeway. The Jakhu Ropeway is an aerial lift that links a point near the centre of Shimla to the temple. It was developed by Jagson International Limited and opened in 2017.

For nature enthusiasts, Jakhu Temple is a paradise. From the temple premises, one can bask in sweeping vistas of the surrounding breathtaking mountains and valleys, presenting ample opportunities for photography and soulful contemplation.It is a fascinating attraction that captivates not only the religiously inclined but also nature enthusiasts. Its idyllic location, breathtaking views, and sacred ambiance make it a worthwhile stop during your visit to this beautiful hill station.

Worth the visit. We came with the cable car. Stunning views and the huge statue of Hanuman is amazing, with small monkeys running on it's feet

Shri Hanuman Mandir Jakhoo is located on the top of Jakhoo Hill in Shimla. It is an upclimb from the main road but vehicles reach up easily with some steep routes in between. It is easily navigable via Google Maps.Legend says that Lord Hanuman has taken a halt at this point while returning back taking the Sanjeevani booti with him for Lord Laxman. It is believed the idol came out magically after he left the hill for his journey ahead.It's a beautiful temple and the sunset here is magical. The premises of the temple are well maintained and a small parking lot is also made outside the temple for vehicles. The temple has a lot of monkeys and it is advised to keep your spectacles away while visiting as monkeys tend to snatch them for a barter for food. Due to the presence of monkeys, it's believed that the presence of Lord Hanuman is evident.The temple is also home to 108 foot tall Lord Hanuman statue which is a sight to see. As you enter Shimla, it is clearly visible from afar.The temple premises has a help desk as well for any queries and bhandaras are also organised frequently for the masses.It's an unmissable iconic spot if you're visiting Shimla, highly recommended for your Shimla Trip.

Highest spot in Shimla, there are two ways to reach here, by taxi or car or by stairs ( direct from Mall road to temple with proper shade and pathway)And if you are staying near by and you love trekking then must walk into the woods.Caution: be aware of monkeys 🙏The view from the temple is mesmerizing.

If you are in shimla, you should must visit this temple man. It is 108 ft tall lord hanuman ji sculpture and it is at the peak.You should take a pedestal way to go there it will give you good experience.

Visited here on my Himachal Trip.The temple's serene surroundings, rich history, and beautiful architecture make it a must-visit destination for those seeking spiritual solace or a peaceful getaway.History of the templeAfter Lakshmana was cured, Hanuman went back to place the mountain in its original site. He rested on top of the Jakhu hill for some time. It is said that the top of the hill got flattened due to Hanuman's weight! The temple has been built around the place that is supposed to have the footprints of Hanuman.

It is situated at highest hill of shimla named jakhoo hill. A tall statue is situated here of lord hanuman. This can be seen too long from shimla. Must visited place

The Kempty falls itself is very pretty and the water appeared white and clear(just like you might have seen in some pictures). You can either walk or take a cable car ride to see the waterfall. You will see hundreds of people getting into the water and having fun. There are a few lookouts to to enjoy the waterfall and take pictures. Kempty Falls was only 5 kilometers from our hotel JW Marriott but I guess is a good 45-60mins. drive in a car from Mussoorie(depending on the traffic). Stop littering and save this wonderful spot for others to enjoy as well. The city has a task cut out for them to take action and tidy up this place which I believe is one of the attraction in Mussoorie!

I even went into the water and got shower under the water falling down. It was so beautiful. If you don't have extra pair of cloth that's fine you can rent it easily from the waterfall location.

It's awesome very calmingLoved the atmosphere there It was very soothing, although there were a lot of people and it always seemed a bit crowded, you may have to wait a little bit to take your pictures but believe me it's worth it,. You can bathe under the waterfall and there's a good facility of keeping your goods in the locker and changing room so you can bath and keep your things away from water.The scenes are very beautiful but the only drawback is you have to take too many stairs to reach there..You can also enjoy the waterfalls above it they're small but very beautiful ❤️.

Waterfall is very nice. You can enjoy in clean water. Water is cold here but still it's worth to go. From parking you need to go to stairs. To reach waterfall, you need go down around 100 steps. There are costumes and changing rooms available near waterfall.There is ropeway/cable car facility also. Charges are higher, for one side it's 200 per person. So you can take it while going up.

Beautiful and cool shops recommend getting there before 3pm so you have enough time for the gondola which closes at 5pm. Cool shops bit pricey but looks cool. Fun games and food. If you take kids keep them close as there are alot of monkeys and they snatch stuff but they got really close to my daughter bit scary.

Lovely location. It is very easy to traverse the steps are well constructed and it is worth getting to the top.Also we can go down the valley using rope way. Its very scenic and fun to enjoy the waterfall. Must visit if u are in mussoorie.

It's way more commercialized and that too in such a way that the natural beauty is completely destroyed.Don't waste your time visiting it.Locals might say things otherwise because it contributes to their economy but you can't waste half of your day visiting there. Look for places that are less famous.

This place is good for relaxation with friends and family. But If you need to have tea or coffee you need to tell them to put less sugar. Otherwise the tea or coffee will be very sweet. 15-20 min if you don't take a bath.

Very nice place to play in water. BTW the water is stable not much flow of water and there are chains and grills so the children can also take a bath and clean off all their sins. One of my best experience

Beautiful place to visit in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and the most devoted place for yoga. One can spend quality time with one's loved ones.

Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, is a special place. It's where three important rivers, the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati, meet, creating a holy spot. People from all over the world come here to find peace and spirituality.When I visited Triveni Ghat, I saw a big statue of Lord Shiva watching over the place. People, including holy men called sadhus, gathered there to pray. They chanted "Har Har Mahadev" to honor Lord Shiva.One of the most beautiful things I saw was when people took a dip in the Ganga river. They believed it washed away their sins and made them pure.In the evening, a special ceremony called Ganga Aarti took place. Priests in saffron clothes lit oil lamps and sang songs. The sight of these glowing lamps by the river was mesmerizing.Triveni Ghat is not just a holy place, but also a meeting point for different cultures. It's where traditions from all around India come together.While Triveni Ghat is a special place, it's also important to take care of the environment and the ghat itself. Uttarakhand is a beautiful state, and we should protect it.My visit to Triveni Ghat left me feeling grateful for the spirituality and culture it holds. It's a reminder that faith and tradition still thrive in this world.

Divine place … cant be expressed in wordsThousands of people visit here on a daily basis with a hope to get their wish fulfilledI have been here several times but it always looks similar… Although now it has better facilities like changing rooms for females which was not there earlier

Devine experience. Taking an early morning dip in Holy Ganga and looking at rising sun, its an experience of a lifetime. The ghat is clean and well maintained. There is ample space for taking a dip. Iron chains are there to assist you. There are changing rooms for Ladies too. Flow of river is quite high here, so be careful. Make sure to keep the ghat clean.

Triveni ghat is famous for the Ganga Arti. I was the live spectator of that. Sitting at the ghat you can see the holy ganga. Many hawkers are there to sell the flowers, agrbartti, deepak etc for worship. There will be huge crowd in the evening for watching the Arti. Although you will be surrounded by people you will feel peace inside you.

I love this place. Mainly for Maa Ganga Arti and beautiful view. Whenever I come Rishikesh i visit this place because it is near to my mom's house. I also come here to enjoy chaat in near by market.

Triveni ghat is a great place to sit and enjoy the enchanting beauty of the place. It is used to take bath and people offer their worship to Mata Triveni. I like this place because of its simplicity and beauty. Just sit and enjoy the nature. It will give you the most important thing - peace of mind.

The first thing that strikes you about Triveni Ghat is the mesmerizing view of the Ganges River. The ghat is beautifully maintained, and the steps leading down to the river make it easy for visitors to take a dip in the sacred waters. The evenings at Triveni Ghat are truly enchanting, with the famous Ganga Aarti, a ritual of offering prayers to the river, filling the air with devotion and peace. The sight of numerous diyas (oil lamps) floating on the water during the Aarti is nothing short of magical.The spiritual aura of Triveni Ghat is palpable, with pilgrims and tourists alike coming here to seek solace and spiritual enlightenment. The ghat is also a hub for cultural and religious events, making it a vibrant and lively place to visit.The local market near Triveni Ghat is a great place to explore, offering a variety of religious trinkets, clothing, and local food. You can sample some delicious street food while enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Famous for it's Daily Evening Aarti and sacred baths.But it's not just a ghat for baths or pooja but a scenic point and due to its length it naturally becomes a walking area, yoga or hangout place.Well managed by Shri Ganga Sabha, Rishikesh. The ghat is very long with a dedicated area for daily evening Aarti.Ghat is open 24*7 and has free but limited capacity of parking space.The ghat has steps and gaurd rails for devotees who need support. It is also wheel chair friendly.Ghat has chain barriers where people can safely bath, but mostly people prefer to cross it and feel the strength of Maa Ganga.Ghat provides changing rooms for women and dedicated washrooms for both men and women.Daily pooja offerings and plastic gallons are available to be purchased from local sellers. Friendly advice: don't hesitate in Bargaining.If you want to see the magnitude of our most sacred river, it gives you se glimpse of it and you will be mesmerised with the scenary it holds. Elephant is one of the lucky sites you can get on the opposite end of the river bank.

The site where all the Panditji or Pujaris do Ganga Aarti in a sequential manner is the finest place to go if you want to see the most genuine and well-managed Ganga Aarti. The vista is fantastic, and the Aarti is administered beautifully. Also has proper sitting facilities.

Treveni Ghat in Rishikesh is a captivating destination that showcases the spiritual essence of the city. This holy confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers offers a serene atmosphere for seekers and nature lovers alike. The ghat's tranquil ambiance, coupled with the breathtaking view of the flowing rivers, creates a sense of serenity and inner peace. Pilgrims and tourists can participate in religious ceremonies, take a dip in the sacred waters, or simply sit back and absorb the spiritual vibes. Treveni Ghat is a must-visit spot for those seeking solace and a deeper connection with the divine.

Divine place. There is no word that can describe the beauty of this place. Evening Ganga Arti is absolutely Divine experience that I ever had in my life.

Beautiful Ganges Puja at Triveni Ghat. Reach before time to get the best place to sit and view the arti. if you want the first 3 rows then buy the aarti ticket costing INR 500 per person. If you just wanna enjoy aarti then reach around 5-5,30 and grab a seat from the 4th row. post that you would be stopped from seating in the first rows as they are reserved for aarti people. Rest you get an amazing experince of the ganga aarti.

Nice place for Hindu 🕉. It is a bonding of ganga Yamuna and Saraswati. This place look like very nice beautiful because front of mountains . Entry gate in lord shiva. Crowded place. Nearby many market for shopping very good prices .Triveni ghat to rishikesh bus stop only 2.5 km

You want peace, serenity, divine bliss and maa ganga - you go to Triveni ghat.In case you're planning to attend the evening aarti, I recommend going at least 30-45 minutes before the scheduled time to secure a good spot from where the aarti can be seen peacefully. The place gets very crowded on weekends.Aarti is followed by keertan which is a vibe in itself!

We visited on holi. It was a great rush. Triveni aarti is really very famous. If you want seat , Reach at 4 pm. People were.dancing and enjoying. Best aarti place to visit. Three river unite here. Enjoy here

If you are in Rishikesh, then this is definitely a must thing to do, witness the divine Ganga aarti here in the evening!OMG it was so so good! ❤️ I paid Rs. 500 for the special puja and you get a sit in the front row. After the Aarti, there was chanting of Lord Krishna and Lord Rama and loads of dancing 💃🏻 and singing! 🎵It is an experience that one should definitely 💯 try!Har Har Mahadev 🙏🏻🕉️

The Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat brings you so much closer to Spirituality. I have experienced goose bumps when the pandits start the aarti and do all the movements in sync with the music . The feeling that they are surrendering themselves to the River Godess Ganga is overwhelming. It is an amazing experience and brings you closer to yourself.

Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh is a special place by the Ganges River where people go to feel peaceful and close to their spirituality. It's a popular spot for prayers and rituals, especially in the evenings when they have a beautiful ceremony called aarti. Many people come here to take a bath in the holy water or just enjoy the calm atmosphere. Triveni Ghat is a place that leaves you feeling calm and connected to something bigger than yourself.

Wow! What a place the architecture is mind blowing water show is also very good but they are not allowing any electronic items inside the temple 🥲

'Akshardham' means the divine abode of God. It is hailed as an eternal place of devotion, purity and peace. Swaminarayan Akshardham at New Delhi is a Mandir – an abode of God, a Hindu house of worship, and a spiritual and cultural campus dedicated to devotion, learning and harmony. Timeless Hindu spiritual messages, vibrant devotional traditions and ancient architecture all are echoed in its art and architecture.The mandir is a humble tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781- 1830), the avatars, devas and great sages of Hinduism. The traditionally-styled complex was inaugurated on 6 November 2005 with the blessings of HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj and through the devoted efforts of skilled artisans and volunteers.Each element of Akshardham echoes with spirituality – the Mandir, the Exhibitions and even the Gardens.The Akshardham mandir has over two hundred murtis, representing many of the spiritual stalwarts over many millennia. The spiritual premise of Akshardham is that each soul is potentially divine. Whether we are serving the family, the country our neighbors or all living beings the world over , each service can help one move towards divinity. Each prayer is a call towards improving oneself and moving closer to God.A visit to Akshardham is a spiritually enriching experience. Whether it is in realising the power of prayer, in feeling the strength of non-violence, in being aware of the universal nature of Hinduism’s ancient principles, or just in admiring the beauty of God’s abode on Earth – each element has a spiritual significance.Facts and Figure:Opened 6th November 2005Constructed by Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS)Inspired by HH Yogiji Maharaj (1892-1971 CE)Created by His HolinessPramukh Swami MaharajMore than 300,000,000 volunteer hours went into making the complexOver 8,000 volunteers from across the world participated in building itMandir built from intricately carved sandstone and marbleExhibitions on Hinduism, including Bhagwan Swaminarayan's life and teachings such as prayer, compassion, and non-violence.Open gardens, water bodies and step-well styled courtyard.

The templewas officially opened on 6 November 2005 byPramukh Swami Maharajin the presence of Dr.A. P. J. Abdul Kalam,Manmohan Singh,L.K AdvaniandB.L Joshi.The temple, at the centre of the complex, was built according to theVastu shastraandPancharatra shastra.In Akshardham Delhi, similar to its predecessorAkshardham Gandhinagar,Gujarat, the main shrine is the focal point and maintains the central position of the entire complex. There are various exhibition halls which provide information about the life and work ofSwaminarayan. The designers of the complex have adopted contemporary modes of communication and technology to create the various exhibition halls.The complex features anAbhisheka Mandap, Sahaj Anandwater show, a thematic garden and three exhibitions namely Sahajanand Darshan (Hall of Values), Neelkanth Darshan (an IMAX film on the early life ofSwaminarayanas the teenage yogi, Neelkanth), and Sanskruti Darshan (cultural boat ride). According toSwaminarayan Hinduism, the wordAkshardhammeans the abode of almighty Lord Swaminarayan and believed by followers as a temporal home of God on earth.

Well this is the India's second largest temple, & asia's third largest temple around the world. Apart from this basic general knowledge, the good thing is entry is free but only for the "darshan" When it comes to shows, you have to pay for that, where the light/fountain show is most recommended if you are not opting for full package show ticket. Phone/Camera/Bags are not allowed inside temple, so make sure you keep in your car or either you can keep them in locker room which is also free to access.Keep in mind, if you are going in rush hour then put our items/goods in your car/own space which will save your time in standing in queue.Akshardham Temple or Swaminarayan Akshardham Complex is a prestigious fascination in Delhi and it gloats its profound and social exercises spreading over the city. The mind boggling invites you to comprehend and break down the conventional Hindu and Indian culture, deep sense of being and design. Being a standout amongst the most went by vacation spots in Delhi, the sanctuary has magnificence and dynamic quality, amazing by whatever else. The banks of the excellent Yamuna River in eastern Delhi offer space to the complex and the development was by the Vastu Shastra and Pancharatra Shastra.

Akshardham Temple, Largest Hindu temple in world is a divine place. It's more than temple, it's actually a hub of great architectural designs that are carved on rocks and marble. Main things to see: ceilings of each dome inside temple, pillars and Mandovar. Great example of great and rich culture.

Its actually a masterpiece with very good architecture but they dont allow you to bring phone and camera inside

Really a beautiful place

AkshardhamAn amazing beautiful peaceful temple.Must visit place if you are in New Delhi.Metro station also there and is just 100 meter apart.Akshardham is really beautiful the main temple is really beautifully crafted. The outer architecture is beautiful and also the inner marbel architecture was more than beautiful. The roof of the main temple is just amazing. The best and the most beautiful part is the main temple where the colors are too good.Note :- You can not take your phone 📱, camera 📷, so you have to stand in the queue to summit them in the cloak room. Secure cloak room 5/5.After the cloak room there is a security check which will be done in a minute you just have to remove your wallet and belt and that's it they will check you and let you pass.Strong security check.Best place to visit.

Goosebumps!!What a spectacular sight.... The beauty of this temple and its surrounding can not be described in words. Its just like a painting on a canvas.Even after so much of crowd, this place is yet very peaceful and relaxing for your soul. The light show and musical fountain add to the beauty of this place.MUST VISIT

This is amazing temple , but they didn't let you to visit freely

The architecture is undoubtedly breathtaking and this place is worth a visit. However the staff is rude, timings of rides and events are not mentioned correctly on the website and not allowing purses or phones inside is incomprehensible. Why should we be asked to return or have to leave our valuables insecurely in cabs. Why not be transparant and allow cellphones. And what harm can purses and bags do...just use security measures. Even airports allow bags, so why shouldn't this place!!!

Very beautiful and peaceful place...... Garden around the temple is a treat for the eyes ❤️ . Although be watchful for the timings or you will have to wait in long queue.1. Don't bring FOOD, you cannot take food inside.2.Visit in morning hours, you will enjoy everything more comfortably as for evening times there is a lot of rush and heat.3. Don't disobey instructions....as for my experience staff is very rude and their way of correcting you will not be very good.4. Watch for kids...They may get lost in the crowd as i have seen with my own eyes5.It is a temple of peace but their is a huge rush of visitors that you are rarely going to experience any ☮️ peace.

This is a beautiful place and I really love going there but infrequently ofcourse because massive crowd is there all the time. Though I really appreciate the work authorities have done to keep the place cleaned and hygienic but it would be nice to have a ticket to go in so that we can help the temple grow. Lets say maybe 10 rupees so that everyone can afford it. Our small contributions can make it grow better and help them who puts our efforts to keep this place best. That idea can help creating a proper queue so that people can come in line.Its just an idea but ill leave them for them to decide.Overall above good.

The place was beautiful and well maintained. But there was a long queue and wait hours (went on a public holiday). Beverages/snacks are not allowed inside. It's not ideal to go during peak summers. The temple was closed due to the crowd.

Beautiful place. The garden has been built on a very large lining. Before going inside the Lotus temple, a bag is given on which you have to keep your footwear and after coming out of the temple you have to return that bag, I liked this method very much. The purpose of making Lotus temple was that people of all religions should come here, sit and meditate peacefully and pray. There is a big prayer meet inside the temple where you can sit and meditate for as long as you want.

The Lotus Temple, located in Delhi, India, is a remarkable architectural masterpiece and a symbol of unity and spirituality. I had the privilege of visiting this awe-inspiring structure, and it left a lasting impression on me.The Lotus Temple's design, resembling a blooming lotus flower, is simply breathtaking.

However, it's a testament to the temple's significance and beauty.In summary, the Lotus Temple is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Delhi. It's a testament to the power of architecture, spirituality, and inclusivity, and it offers a truly peaceful and inspiring experience.

I expected serene and peaceful atmosphere but instead I got huuuuuge crowds, first queue to enter the grounds and second queue to enter the temple itself. Maybe because it was Sunday afternoon. There is only one path that's not restricted so crowds have nowhere to disperse and you can't just walk around the grounds. Inside of the temple is a nice and quiet but nothing special from architectural point of view. From the outside the design is very interesting though

The Lotus temple is a secular place of worship and contemplation. The entry is free for all which makes this a popular tourist spot. As a result the waiting time can get pretty long so plan accordingly. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately maintained.You are required to remove your shoes before climbing the more than 50 steps to the temple entrance. The inside is a tranquil sanctuary with lots of chairs to sit and contemplate life.

An architectural gem.. the space is beautifully designed for the purpose of spiritual and social awakening of the visitors... Peaceful and relaxing environment... Everyday prayers will calm your soul... Baha'i faith is very beautifully explained in the Design itself...

The place is quite good, it's not a temple to worship but a place to relax your mind and meditate in a big hall and there is no need to buy tickets as entry is free.Information centre helps us to understand more about the place and it's history.The Lotus Temple has won numerous architectural awards and has been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles.Overall visiting the temple is a good experience and also gives you peace but with a lot of people around you,it's get difficult.So, Please do visit there.

Very nice place to visit with good ambience and irrespective of religion anyone can come here. No ticket required at entry, only thing to remember is that don't enter with good and drinks as it is not allowed. The last time to enter is 6pm.

Nice place to visit in Delhi. Nice view... The garden is very beautiful & a perfect place to click good pictures. Entry is free but u can't enter with food items. If you have any in your bag, security will asked you to finish them before enter in the place. The front view of the temple is so mesmerizing & I feel an immense peace inside the temple. There is no religion bar & everyone are allowed inside the meditation hall. Worth visiting.

Although the entry inside is restricted at this Covid, but being in the campus is such peaceful. Calmness and peace can be felt here, such pure energy. Campus is well maintained, free of cost to enter and see the beauty around. The cleanliness is commendable, so is the staff behaviour. You can see varieties of flowers and well maintained trees. A must visit with your loved ones.

A very beautiful temple. The surrounding is clean and the garden is well-maintained. The view is amazing.Inside it's very calm and quite. There's nothing much inside, just a bunch chairs and a table. You can stay inside for as long as you want but you can't make noise or use phones.While going inside the temple grounds, you are not allowed to bring any kind of foods and beverages(except water) and all bags or backpacks will be checked. If you have a camera with you then you have to submit your ID card at the check gate.

Lotus Temple is a recent monument in the historical city of Delhi, and owing to its beautiful design and free entry, it is one of the popular sites for Delhites. Full marks for cleanliness and security. But it is too crowded on holidays (as it has free entry), and there is littering all around the boundaries. People have no respect for our monuments and lack sense of cleanliness, which should be developed among ourselves.

Nice place to see bhaai temple. You can expand for 30 minutes time here. It is a nice eye catching place. Inside the temple nothing except the seating area or you can say prayer area. You will get 10 minutes of time to sit and pray to your god. You must go there to see the Lotus style building architecture that is the main attraction.

It was a pretty awesome place to visit for free. the view of lotus temple was very mesmerizing and the garden was full of stylishly trimmed trees and much more. But there is nothing much to do there , you can do prayers inside where there is no ac or fan and come out within few minutes .

Located near Kalkaji mandir metro station, it is probably the most silent and calming place in Delhi. One can feel the presence of inner soul by witnessing the silence in the temple. The architecture is amazing. No entry tickets are required to visit the temple.

However, if you're seeking mental peace, this might not be the ideal destination due to the bustling crowds and constant activity.While the temple offers a picturesque backdrop for a photo shoot, the serenity one might expect to find here is often overshadowed by the sheer number of visitors. The peaceful ambiance often sought after for quiet contemplation may be elusive amidst the hustle and bustle.Nevertheless, the sheer beauty of the Lotus Temple's architecture is undeniable and worth experiencing. Despite the crowds, it remains a remarkable testament to artistry and creativity. So, if you're prepared for the lively atmosphere and appreciate captivating architecture, a visit to the Lotus Temple can still be a memorable experience.

Entry closes by 5PM sharp, entry to temple/garden is absolutely free.This temple is such a wonderful architectural marvel. Garden is so huge, beautiful and very well managed. Although entry in garden isn’t allowed.There’s a pathway (long corridor) that leads to temple you can walk along the garden and get some amazing pictures.There’s no idol inside so it’s not a worshipping temple. You can sit and do dhyan.Parking is available on the opposite side of the temple.

This temple atmosphere amazing...Interesting architectural building, Inspired by a lotus flower, hence the name. It's surrounded by some nice gardens leading up to the temple. Be aware that you must take your shoes off and put them in a bag walking up to the temple. Inside there are no pictures or talking allowed. Not a very picturesque place inside, but a good place to pray or meditate.

This is a beautiful, no doubt about it...but you cannot go there to relax or have any peace of mind. They are huge queues and the entire ground is restricted. You are allowed to only use the footpaths. During the huge rush, that space is not sufficient. What's the point of having a massive complex with a huge garden if you are not allowed to leave the footpath. There is also very minimal parking in this area.The access road is narrow.Overall, not a place to go if you are looking for a peaceful time..

This place is ideal for nature and peace lovers as this place is mainly an artificial lake and encircling it is a garden with a lot of variety of flowers and other ornamental plants. There is also a kids park inside and a lot of benches are present for people to sit and enjoy their time in this park.

Prem Mandir in Vrindavan is a beautiful temple. It looks amazing during the day and becomes magical at night with pretty lights. You should visit both times to enjoy it fully. There's a cool fountain show with videos at night as well. It gets crowded on weekends, so come on weekdays for a quieter visit. You'll find lots of yummy food stalls and shops nearby too.

Very beautiful temple. But much crowded in the weekend. I visited on a weekend. Don't carry bags. Be careful with your belongings while staying in queue. Outside the temple, it was much traffic due to crowds in the evening. There are a lot of sweet shops and restaurants outside the temple. E.rickshaw can be got outside temple

Detailing and carvings are to be noticed closely. Amazing infrastructure and lighting. People are not allowed to take a look around nearby temple as it can be easily damaged.The beauty of the temple will leave you awestruck. Evening is the best time to visit this place.

It's more like a religious entertainment centre than a temple of worship. We came around 7:30pm and experienced their fountain show. It's huge, there's a lot to see but the focus is definitely on the fountains, displays etc. No bags allowed + thorough checking even with stampede level of crowd.

Very beautiful temple, this is my first visit to this temple I have heard about but it is really amazing in real. The temple is very beautiful all this design and style is amazing, all the life events of Lord Krishna beautifully crafted on walls of temple.There is also a theme park arround the temple where some stories of Lord Krishna a shown.To really experience the beauty of this temple one has to visit in the evening time when the light show and fountain show started they make this temple more beautiful.The crowd management is a lack from temple management they have to make more efforts in handling of the crowd.

I will describe my experience at this beautiful temple in 5 points:1. The temple architecture is so soothing for eyes.2. For devotees it's a treat to visit temple dedicated to the charming, loving and Divine Lord Krishna.3. The Cleanliness is at par with any best standard.4. There is a canteen also inside the temple where the quality of food is also good in reasonable price.5. In the nights the view of the temple becomes more exuberant.

Very Crowded on weekends but beautiful structure of mandir is designed mandir staff was so coperative and humble please put your any type of bag and camera laptop outside they are not allowed inside temple but you can carry your smartphone. Must visit in evening too because lighting is awesome and nailed the beautification of temple.❤️💕Radhe Radhe 🙏🦚

Beautiful and Serene. A peaceful place to visit and relax. You get so devotional that you feel lost in the beauty of the temple. It is carved with a lot of love and skill. Best Time to visit is evening when lighting is up.

Prem mandir is huge and magnificent. The minute detailing and the carvings are worth watching. Main temple structure is surrounded by picturesque gardens with numerous variety of gorgeous flowers that portray beautiful stories of Lord Krishna. You feel very peaceful and delighted in the temple. They have a cafeteria which serves high quality and delicious food.

A Must visit place in shree dham vrindavan. Especially in the evening, the view is a treat to the eyes. All the light shows with water fountains and shree bhagwan darshan inside the temple is just too lovely to watch. 🙏🏻 Hare krsna.

Beautiful architecture with a divine feeling. The night view with all the lights is really hypnotic. Lord Krishna and Radha Rani idols are so mesmerizing. The magical fountain show is something that can't be missed.

Bird watching was amazing, beautiful view of trees and nature. Best enjoyed with cycling. I got half the price when I showed student I'd. With cycle it costs around 220 for a student.

One of the best bird sanctuaries of India. The Climate was soothing for cycling. One can walk or talk a cycle or hire an e-ricksaw within the premises. Various varieties of birds can easily be traced out. Best time for visit would be in Dec & Jan as one can find migratory birds on a large scale.

Good place for bird watchers. Only those interested in bird watching and travelling with required cameras will enjoy and not everyone. Best time to visit is from Jan to Feb.

Beautiful and peaceful place. If you are interested in bird watching then you should go there because there are many migratory birds in winter. Bicycle rides and rickshaw safaris are also available. You can spend a whole day inside the park. The timings are from 6 am to 5.30 pm. If you are from outside Rajasthan, there is a government guest house inside the park where you can stay for cheap rent.

An amazing place ,teeming with gorgeous nature sights, like the wetlands containing myriads of birds like cranes, storks, ducks.And that's just the start of the trail. The most straight forward trail is almost 13 km long, with several shorter trails branching out.Its best to reach early morning, 6.30am-ish so one can Bird watch peacefully. After, 8.30am the park gets full of families with idiots screaming "look look ,there is Bird" without knowing what Bird and scaring the birds away in the process.

Absolutely breathtaking, must visit it 2/3 times across the various timings ie early morning, afternoon and evening. Also great if one can spend 2/3 days here. One day to observe, click photographs etc basically letting the excitement settle, and then one entire day just watching everything. It's a wonder of nature.

A place for blissful peace, near to nature. An amazing wildlife protection sanctuary. Must visit if you can but be responsible and respectful towards nature.

The place was really beautiful ❤️❤️We saw so many unique birds everywhere like blue robin, fruit bat, babblers, black headed ibis, painted stork, kingfishers, snake bird etcThe best season to visit is in the winter season, and the best time to visit is in the morning.You can walk, or travel by e-rickshaw or cycle rickshaw.It is divided into 2 regions, the dry area and the wetlands.It was a very good experience, if you are in Bharatpur then this place is a must visit.

A true heaven for birds. This is an amazing place to visit and spot some exotic species. Cycle ride was another amazing experience.However, guide service is only available via e-rikshaw, so it's a shame you have to choose either....overall an awesome experience!!

I enjoyed it a lot being it a friends trip. A good place to visit during winters because of the birds season. You can see deer, peaco*cks, cows, monkeys, different kinds of birds Siberian birds, Ibis, partridge, geese etc. Also if you're lucky then you can catch a glimpse of Python or Anaconda.Sanctuary has different kinds of vehicles facilities like cycles of two types, e-rickshaws, Jeeps till a point etc. The whole route is around 4-5km and the same for return as well.Hope this clears some queries. 😊

Beautiful location ! Need to look after more should be restriction on no. of entry. So many species of birds. Dear visitors please don't litter throw plastic & waste. Keep it clean and try not disturbing the habitat.

Awesome place to visit if you want to see beautiful birds and other fauna in their natural habitat.Guide gave a very nice tour in English. He got us some nice pictures that you would normally only find in a nature documentary.

Though the sanctuary is very big and can be a great destination for nature lovers, maintenance and facilities are not at the par. One need to rent either cycle or rickshaw to cover around 10kms area, which will cost rs. 150 and 600 respectively. The entry tickets are of rs. 125 for indian adults, kids of age till 4 yrs are free. Inside the sanctuary one will find only 1 canteen and 1 or 2 water areas.

Nice place to see some wild animals, Birds. Visit during July to March. Cycle and rickshaw service available. I suggest cycles. They charge per cycle 150 rupees. Amazing views of nature. Some migrane birds also seen here.

Great place a day with nature, birds. Keep your food &water with you.You may take a bicycle if you love cycling. E -Rickshaw is best. It will take you 2hrs to see the bird century.Winters is best time to go there.

On November 17, 2024, we visited Keoladeo National Park, traveling by car from Agra to Bharatpur and arriving in the afternoon. We hired both a guide and a battery car for the excursion. While they claimed that a guide was mandatory for those using a battery car, we noticed many individuals exploring without one. Nevertheless, our guide proved to be quite knowledgeable. He brought along an optical lens that allowed us to observe birds up close.The optimal time to visit is during the winter months (November to January), when numerous birds migrate to the area around October. The park exudes tranquility and serenity, providing a relaxing experience for visitors. Overall, it is a highly recommended destination.

I witnessed a completely natural environment here, least touched by humans. Praise to management that they haven't hampered with natural setting of the place. It's a very beautiful and serene place where you can see what wetland. Lots and lots of bird species, beautiful and rare, migratory and native. The core area is mind blowing where you can see breeding area of birds. It was mind blowing to see numerous types of nest there. Saw kingfisher hunting fishes also.There's a very beautiful lake also where you can do boating, and it's unlike any other lake you may have seen in hilly areas. It's completely different, so serene and so beautiful lake covered with green / pink algae. It looked like heaven to me .I fell in love with this place. Will visit again soon.

Just finished exploring Keoladeo National Park, a #UNESCO World Heritage site and protected bird sanctuary. While the park is home to 350 species, I was fortunate to encounter around 150. Witnessing the coexistence of migratory and indigenous birds was truly fascinating. My standout moment was observing the Bar-headed Geese, the only birds capable of flying at 30,000 feet. They embark on an incredible journey from Mongolia to India, crossing over the Himalayas, including Mount Everest. Birds, as the surviving dinosaurs, continue to thrive, and it's awe-inspiring to witness their resilience.

One of the best places in India for birding in India ..beautiful surroundings , great wetlands and it's just so peaceful and serene with birds all around and to move in electric rickshaws and get down anytime.uou want to explore a particular area or bird ..a must visit for anyone interested in nature and birding

A Paradise for BirdwatchersThe Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, also known as Keoladeo National Park, is a haven for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Here's a glimpse into what you can expect:Avian Extravaganza:The park boasts over 360 bird species, including migratory birds from Siberia, Europe, and Central Asia. Witnessing the vibrant flocks of painted storks, darters, egrets, and even the elusive Siberian cranes is an unforgettable experience.Beyond the Birds:While the birds are the main attraction, the park offers more. Spotting mammals like sambar deer, nilgai, and even pythons adds to the diverse wildlife encounter. The serene water bodies and lush vegetation create a picturesque backdrop for your exploration.Exploring the Sanctuary:Cycling, rickshaws, or even electric carts are the preferred modes of exploring the vast park. Hiring a knowledgeable guide is highly recommended. Their expertise in bird calls and hiding spots will significantly enhance your birding experience.Things to Consider:Best time to visit: The winter months (November to February) witness the peak migratory season, offering the most diverse birdlife.Accommodation: From budget guesthouses to luxurious stays, Bharatpur caters to various preferences.Accessibility: The park is well-connected to major cities like Agra and Jaipur, making it easily accessible.Overall, the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique communion with nature. The breathtaking birdlife, coupled with the serene atmosphere, makes it a truly enriching experience.

As an photography enthusiast, keoladeo national park was in bucket list from long time,but its actual experience was more than just watching birds. cycling on the tracks in natural environment, watching how different birds behave, the scenic beauty, feeling the nature so close.✓Cycling is for sure a must to experience the park closely without any timings restrictions.

It's Paradise for bird lovers. It's also open for routine tourists too. Guides, bicycles, and e-rickshaws are available at an entry gate on rent to traverese in the national park. If you like nature walks or wildlife, you would love to visit this place. The park is a mix of woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, and lakes. You can spot thousands of water birds in the marshy area of the park. Though recent government norms have changed the rate card, and it might be a bit of an expensive nature trail. Hence, I will definitely suggest checking out the fare before finalizing your plan. If you are alone and can ride a bicycle, then it's pretty cheap to move into the national park.

We couldn't enter the conservation centre. One must reserve their tour before visiting through their online portal . But here's a trick. If you want to see the elephants visit the place around 3:30pm. The elephants are taken outside for a stroll. (Suraj) the elephant has the biggest tusk 🦣

Let me start by saying 3 Cheers to Wildlife SoS (NGO/No for Profit Org.) for the amazing work that they do in their centers!Had the opportunity to visit their Elephant Conservation & Care center @Churmura (Near Agra). It comprises of Elephants rescued from different levels of Human cruelty - some forced to beg on the streets of Mumbai; some performed inCircus; some used as a symbol of Power & Royalty & many more.Thankfully Wildlife SoS takes very good care of all rescued elephants & works hard to educate the younger generation about letting wild animals be wild and not using them for human entertainment & needs!They also take very good care of all the rescued elephants.Kind Note: This is not a Zoo or Park but a rescue center- all visits are permitted only with permission from the Wildlife SoS office & with a token donation that keeps the rescue work going.

On my son's birthday, we visited SOS Wildlife centre for elephants. Located near Mathura, it was an eye-opening visit for us. How can man be so cruel towards the biggest mammal on earth, the elephant.The visit started with the educator explaining the motive of the ngo to rescue elephants and how they keep them in the rescue centre.Thereafter, we were taken inside the rescue centre near the elephants and were told stories about their pasts. It was a sad affair to see their injuries of past, soe were blind, some had broken knee, some had their ears chopped off and the list goes on.This was all done previously before rescue by humans obviously for commercial gains.But that is one side of humans, the other is the people working at this NGO, people working 24 hours taking good care of these elephants now so that they are fast on the recovery mode and do not develop hatred in their minds for us the humans.The visit was a memorable experience for my family and my small kids Shaurya and Jeevesh who loved the whole trip.We had the opportunity to bathe this largest mammal with our own hands and feed them too.Appeal to everyone to encourage, motivate and help these NGOs in whatever manner we can !!!!

Wildlife SOS is basically a Elephant Conservation centre and a rescue unit which consist of Abused, exploited old elephants who are living their life peacefully here.The place is situated on National Highway -2 near to Eshaan College.1) All types of facilities were provided to Elephants and their well-being and also they respond to all kind of rescue calls for different kind of animals throughout the city.2) SOS Wildlife runs totally on donations , so if you ever planning to visit their please donate some amount also (which is mandatory in elephant conservation centre).3) Proper Parking facility and Washroom facility available.4) You have to call them prior for booking your visit to conservation centre.

To experience a dream of a lifetime one should visit Wildlife SOS Elephant Sanctuary. Elephants that had previously been abused and used for begging purposes get a second chance of life. All the elephants suffer from mistreatment, but Wildlife SOS is there to nurse them back to health both physically and mentally. It is an incredible organization!

A wonderful place to visit! It is great to see how they give mistreated elephants a new life! They also do an excellent job at educating society about why elephants should be free and not held captive.

The visit to the center today made me think, of what humbleness means. These mammoth creatures are all about that. And the team at Wildlife SOS - selflessly in service of these wonderful creatures rescued from captivity from across India over the years. A must visit, must experience place. Thanks Himanshu for the time today

A must have to visit this place. The team is full hearted giving everything to make the life of the elephants as good as possible. Impressive to be there and very touching.

Great Initiative. People have to be made aware of the suffering these Elephants go thru. Thanks to Wildlife sos they can heal and have a Nice retirement. Me and my Daughter will remember this for a Long time and wish you the best of luck for the Future. People who Read this they can use your donation to keep helping the Elephants.

We had a fantastic time visiting the rescue elephants. Our guide provided us with loads of interesting information and allowed us plenty of time to spend watching the majestic elephants. The work that Wildlife SOS do is absolutely inspiring!

This place I will remember more than Taj Mahal. Absolutely brilliant people work here and do really important mission with helping animals. Location is distant but just follow the Google map directions and you will get there.

Amazing place to learn about the elephants and to be educated about what torture they've been through while enslaved by humans.You can see them in rehabilitation getting a new life. Amazing experience for families, couples and children.

There should be more places like these in the world. The animals are well cared for and every day they try to recover from the abuse they once had. Very happy to visit the site. It is important to bring money to buy souvenirs in the store, so you can support this wonderful cause.

Must visit place in Agra. They have elephants which are rescued from various places and these elephants needs support and care. It's an NGO driven place which claims that they are running on charity only. People must support this NGO and place for their Nobel cause. They are doing great job.Imp- kindly drop email to their email id and seek appointment before visiting, unplanned visit may not be possible and may lead to long wait time at their gate। So book appointment first.

We were delighted to visit this elephant conservation sanctuary and see how much the lives of these majestic animals have improved. It is great to see how much happier the elephants clearly are here, compared to some of the awful conditions that they have been previously kept in. It is easy to see that everyone there has a lot of love and respect for these elephants and cares about their wellbeing. The staff at the centre were knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, knew each of the elephants by name and clearly loved explaining all of their different personality quirks! If you love animals, 10/10 recommend a visit (I'd also recommend a visit to the sloth bear sanctuary, run by the same organisation, which is inside the bird sanctuary on the way from/back to Agra). Visits are easy to arrange - we just emailed the centre and heard back within a few hours.

A truly special experience! So glad we found out about it and added it to our itinerary while visiting India. It's right on the way between Agra and Delhi - don't miss it!

Please pre book before visiting this place.Donation of 1500 per person is mandatory for this place.You must email them before visiting.If you reach there without emailing them then they will not allow you to enter.They have not mentioned this on their website. I don’t know when they will do it.Visitors feel fool when they reach at the destination and they are not allowed to enter.Basically they are trot make it a commercial activity.

It was so beautiful experience with my daughter …staff so knowledgeable…..I got to know more about elephants and especially my daughter was very excited to see these nature’s great masterpieces an elephant…it was her first experience with them…and staff is doing great job and care…I think government also should raise funds for wild sanctuary to save before they get disappeared…👍🙏

A very lesser known historical monuments in vicinity of Agra fort in the heart of Agra city. The monument is actually a tomb which is still very intact. The place is kept quite neat and clean and is very well maintained. This monument is taken care by Archaeological Survey of India, Agra circle. Hats off.

You can visit this place and cover Methab bagh after this, this place is really fit for its name "baby taj". Just scan the code and enter the premises. Less crowded place and nice white marble architecture, just preserve these monuments have respect for these architecture and landscape. Enjoy your trip to Agra.

This tomb was built by Noor Jahan for her Father and Mother. It is situated at river Yamuna. This building is constructed in white marble with beautiful inlay work and surrounded by majestic landscape garden charbagh.

Historical structure with shinning white marble,The Real masterpiece of domeless class.Whenever you visit the place you are amazed with the architecture and grandeur of the place.Place is well maintained with green surroundings and with proper cleanling.Good place to spends hours easily over here...Suggest everyone must visit ,whenever they come👌

Short quick visit, but worth it. You can see some great symmetry, and take some. Great pictures to be taken. Pro Tip: You can take some cool pictures through the stars and the shapes on the windows, just have the person stand on the opposite side and focus your camera through the whole. Check out my example picture which is attached.

Really one of the underestimated monument of agra....and if you are interested in the architecture of mughal era this monument has very good and delicate carvings(pietra dura). Must visit and observe this rich heritage

At a distance of 8 km from Agra Cantonment Railway Station and 3 km from Agra Fort, Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is a Mughal mausoleum located on the western bank of the Yamuna River near the Yamuna Bridge Railway Station in Agra. The tomb is also known as the Jewel Box or Baby Taj as it looks like a smaller version of the Taj Mahal. It is one of the popular tourist places in agra. This historical monument is quite beautiful but sadly not maintained at all. Agra Tourism Department and ASI which charges tourist should really do some serious maintenance work. Only extremely positive point was the monument details were also put there in Braille. Only tourist spot where this was done in Agra...

Also known as Baby Taj. As the name indicates, the structure shows some iconic features of Tajmahal. The view from the 4 sides of this building is same as the front. Rear gate opens upto the river. Very calm and beautiful atmosphere. Near to Agra fort.To avoid entering with food items, strict bag checking done at entry gate .

Itmad-ud-Daulla in Agra, known as "Mini Taj Mahal," is a small gem. Its detailed architecture rivals the Taj Mahal. The calm atmosphere and history make it a must-visit.This hidden treasure gives an intimate experience, perfect for those who want Mughal splendor on a smaller scale. A delightful addition to the Agra itinerary.

Baby Taj 💖Seeing this was equally as stunning as the Taj - it’s less crowded, calmer and a definite To Do.I could’ve sat here all day and just looked at the intricate artwork.The tiles - the patterns - the colours 😍I still can’t believe how they built these amazing buildings 😍Just wow - incredible 😍

This is open from sunrise to sunset. It is made up of white marble so some say it as a mini Taj Mahal and it has four doors. Back door is facing Yamuna river and the view is beautiful. You can sit here and enjoy the view. The art work on marble is beautiful and amazingly well done. Inside this, there are 4-5 graves are there which are present in four different corners of this monument. Rest this place is beautifully maintained by authorities.

The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula is dedicated to Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the father of Nur Jahan. Itimad-ud-Daula was his title. This mausoleum situated on the banks of river Yamuna was constructed in 1626_28 AD. There are many things in this mausoleum, known as Baby Taj, which were later adopted while making the Taj Mahal. People say that at many places the carvings here look more beautiful than the Taj Mahal. Another attraction of this mausoleum is its dome made in the Central Asian style. The gardens and paths here enhance its beauty even more.This mausoleum is the first mausoleum built in India which was made entirely of white marble. Pictures of trees, plants, animals and birds are engraved on its walls. Here and there the pictures of men can also be seen which is a strange thing because in Islam it is forbidden to use human beings as an object of decoration. Because of its beauty, this tomb is known as the Jewel Box.

We visited here during our 2 day weekend visit to Agra.I would suggest you to add this to must visit monuments.We had very pleasant time here as you will not find too much crowd here as compared to Taj Mahal.You will not need any guide here, you can just explore the beauty of the monument on your own.You can buy the tickets on the counter.

Itmad-ud-Daula, often referred to as the "Baby Taj," is a gem of Mughal architecture nestled along the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra, India. This exquisite mausoleum holds historical significance as the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, for whom the Taj Mahal was built.You must visit this place whenever you are in Agra. Most of the people forget to visit this place. If you are a photo lover, you must take some time to take videos and photos.The whole place is accessible. Wheelchairs are available at the ticket counter at free of cost.

This is an under-visited and underappreciated site that you should go see. It really gives you an idea for where Shah Jahan got the ideas for the Taj Mahal. As you can see from my pictures, there was almost nobody there, and it was pleasant to walk around.

Itimad-ud-Daulah, otherwise known as the Baby Taj was very good for gentle scroll.This was the first Mughal tomb to be built entirely of marble. Gentle walk by a large garden make you think about both mouseleums.Baby Taj was built byNur Jahan and completed the construction of the building of the Tomb of her father in 1628 AD, nearly 7 years after his death.Taj Mahal was built in period of 1632 to 1648.Shah Jahan's favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, was the niece of Nur Jahan,. Mumtaz Mahal. died suddenly in 1631, after giving birth to the couple's fourteenth child. She is buried today directly under the center of the great dome of the Taj Mahal.in her memory by her deeply grieving husband.Hmmm.....makes you think.......Definitely worth visiting.

To be honest I found this to me more ornate and exotic compared to the Taj Mahal. This has great examples of geometric pattern ornate inlays. Do miss this gem .This one one of the main highlights for me in Agra.Follow me for travel tips on Insta @shivoham.08

The Taj Mahal was inspired by Itmad-ud-daula , 30rs ticket. Along with the main building, the structure consists of numerous outbuildings and gardens. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628, represents a transition between the first phase of monumental Mughal architecture primarily built from red sandstone with marble decorations, as in Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and Akbar's tomb in Sikandra – to its second phase, based on white marble . Located on the eastern bank of the Yamuna River, the mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways.The tomb is a must visit , less crowded, parking facilities available.

Extremely beautiful. A sheer poetry written in and with stones. A must visit when in agra. The premises is clean and gorgeous monument. Not as famous as other monuments but it’s breathtaking. Beautiful pietra dura work all over marble monument and the work is very unique and gorgeous. 20₹entry ticket. Lot of things are not allowed inside like food, pen, religious books, torch, etc

Itmad-ud-Daula in Agra, often referred to as the "Mini Taj Mahal," is a true gem. Though smaller in scale, its intricate architecture and delicate details rival its famous counterpart. The serene ambiance and historical significance make it a must-visit for anyone exploring Agra. This hidden treasure offers a more intimate experience, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistry and history in a quieter setting. A delightful addition to the Agra itinerary, especially for those seeking a glimpse of Mughal splendor on a smaller scale.

A historical fort having incredible architecture and ambience. A vast area of fort is with Indian Defence.Better to visit the fort with a Guide who can explain the historical aspects of the fort. The entrance, ambience, Courtyards and other structures are really grand. The red stone and marbles used for construction of the fort, give a royal feeling.

Agra Fort is one of the largest forts in India. We are only allowed to explore 20% of the area. And yet, those 20% are already big enough for us to explore, which is remarkable 🤩And yes, it's a very nice place for a photo shoot 📸We booked a tour guide in advance, and it was worth every penny as they told us the story and history of the Agra Forts and more.Tips: Do wear comfy shoes, t-shirts, bring small towel and mineral water. Avoid visiting in the afternoon as it will be getting hot there.

The Agra Fort is one of the biggest forts in India. While the exterior is impressive, there isn't much to see inside. However, the walls and rooms are in good condition and well maintained. If you're interested in learning about the rich history of this place, you can hire a guide available at the entry gate. Tickets can also be purchased online for your convenience. Exploring the fort with a knowledgeable guide will enhance your experience and appreciation of its historical significance.

We went on a weekday in the evening and it was very crowded, it take more than 20 minutes to enter completing the ticket checking. The fort is beautiful and huge. Once you enter you get to take beautiful pics, considering it's huge, people scatter quickly and we get a peaceful view but don't expect too much of peace 😂

The Agra Fort is a must-visit for its rich history, stunning architecture, and cultural significance. It offers a glimpse into India's heritage with its intricate designs, museums, and captivating sound and light show. Accessible and informative, it's an ideal destination for history and architecture enthusiasts alike.Overall Clean and beautiful place.There will be crowd while purchasing tickets, but still worth to wait , as when you get inside you will be pleased.A must-visit for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in exploring India's cultural heritage and also it is easily accessible by public transport and offers guided tours for visitors. It has facilities like information centers, restrooms, and souvenir shops, making the visit convenient and informative.

Mugal monument with lovely architecture and garden. Huge area and every nuke and corner is filled with Sand stone and Marvel work. Garden are maintained beautifully. During winter gardens are mesmerizing. You can spend hours there but won't feel bore. Nice place for photography.

If you like walking in historical buildings or place then this is the best place for you. Very heavy work has been done on it and very beautiful flowers and leaves have been made on its walls.Because the fort of Agra is very big, so during its journey you may get very tired but you will also have a lot of fun.

One of the best fort in India. The architecture of the fort is very beautiful due to presence of red rocks. We have to walk for 40-60minutes to cover entire area inside. Security checking is there in the entrance. Carry bags are not allowed inside. Locker facility is available near to the entrance. Always preferred to go in winter or in monsoon season.

Great place to visit. Can see the mugal emperors judging court,rooms,balcony,masjid etc...Guide is needed to understand all these. If they written all the information all people can understand every place' purpose easily. There is no good food/hotel available outside the Fort.

The places is very well preserved. You might not need a guide if you read about the place beforehand and keep a map of the fort handy. Keep an umbrella if you’re visiting in summers, it gets really hot. Tickets are cheap, like ₹40 or something. Beware of Auto-rickshaw-wallas, they’ll try to trick you into paying a lot if you aren’t careful.

This is one of the biggest fort in a India about 70 acres now a days just a 20% of the fort is open for visitors. Entry fees is 35 rupee if you book online ticket. It's good if you have a guide with you he told you each and everything like a story inside there is a lots of mahal and garden if you want to visit then must carry water with you for exploring all fort min 2 hours you required. If you plan to visit this must come with family it's one of the memorable trip.

Very beautiful fort. Must visit.I prefer taking a guide every time i visit a historical place. It gives me knowledge of why the place is designed in such way or hidden places and much more history..I would recommend the same to others.But only take government authorized guide.General charges to guide are 450 to 500 approximately or written on board sometimes.

Wow, just awesome. It's located right in front of Agra fort railway station. Auto and taxi ride are very cheap, but they will trick into booking hotels, going to good restaurants or buying pethas. They all work on commission, never fall into their trap. There are many palaces in the fort, you will surely enjoy it.

Agra Fort! It's absolutely amazing! The architecture is stunning, and the history behind it is so fascinating. I loved exploring the different palaces and courtyards. It's definitely a must-visit if you're in Agra! 🏰✨

The red fort of Agra is just amazing as it was shown in movies. The story of Red fort will just kept you bound. The beauty of this monument is mesmerizing. The fort is so big, it is divided in to multiple sections according to the kings name. Every little corner is actually designed so calculatively. If you see a single pillar, then also you will feel the art and work they have done over here. If you are visiting it, then you should go for guide also. They will tell you the details of every single corner. It was an amazing experience.

Amazing place to see.Combination of Hindu & Islamic Culture.It's a huge fort.Highly maintained.The architecture, the vibe will take you in the ancient times.Ticket Available online.You should definitely visit here once if you are in Agra.

Thankfully it has been well preserved. Unfortunately, there are no signs to direct movement of visitors. The information boards are very brief and lack details. It would be beneficial if historical information of each structure/building is displayed.

Once you go inside u feel like what you are is next to impossible but trust me when u see it.It's very nice and large fort, very well maintained and very clean too like a newly built. Lots and lots of foreign tourists everywhere getting amazed what they are seeing....

Best place to see in Agra. Exterior is impressive and so does the internal parts of the fort. Eighty percent of the fort area is under the control of Army rest twenty percent is open for visitors. Hiring a guide is recommended as they will tell you about the history and architectural features of this fort.

No caption is required for this place. It is the Agra Fort. The great Fort was built by Mughals during their dynasty. Childhood dreams were fulfilled. Please bring your family members & enjoy this historical place. You will be amazed with their thinking, planning, and architect. Posting a few photos for my beloved friends. Detail whereabouts this place is easily available from online.

No need to describe this place for anyone. The sheer massiveness of this place and the story attached with it is enough to make you visit this place. It's a wonder how people with no modern technology built such huge forts and it's still standing. The fort is open everyday. You can visit the fort at any time. The fort opens at 6 in the morning. You can buy an online ticket before hand if you like. But this place doesn't get that crowded so you can choose to opt for buying tickets at the counter also. It's rs 50 per person for Indians. If you want to know about the place in detail you can opt for guides. But bargain with them as the rates can be very steep at times. Being there makes you think about the historic events that have happened there.

Very beautiful. I have visited on Friday and the rush was less. Easily you can spend 1-2 hrs exploring the entire fort. Some of the part of the fort are under maintenance which were closed.Entry fee for Indians is 50 and foreigner is 650.

Excellent exampleAgra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India.It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty till 1638.Great ambience but there is some restrictions but all over the view was great 👌👌👌

One of the famous tourist attractions of Agra, The Agra Fort is a masterpiece of its own. Made up of red stone, this place is huge.Probably the best time to visit Agra fort is in the winter/Rainy season.Agra being hot, you will not be able to enjoy this gem of a place.Buy tickets online to avoid the queue and carry a water bottle or 2 because it is huge and might take you 3-4 hours just to see this place.Parking facility was also available nearby

An absolute must visit, you can walk around all day and enjoy the different sights. Unique architecture, lots of details and so much to see. I recommend really taking your time here and investigating every corner. There are plenty of great picture opportunities as well. Play with the squirrels as well!

This was a cool experience and really neat to hear the stories around the fort. For not much you can hire a guide to walk you through the full experience of it. It’s worth taking the time to fully understand all of the history and what it’s about. It was very busy the Saturday we went.

Public Transit Accessibility: Cab will be best. But in some days Metro will be liveEntry Fee: 40rs (for Indians) / for foreigners it differsValue for Money: YesKids Friendly: YesParking: Yes (both car and bike)Drinking Water: YesToilet: YesComment from my experience: We easily spend 2hrs. It gave good Vibes to see old ideas. Best place for photoshoots. Please avoid taking personal guides and photographers.

Its huge. 🤌🏻 You need approx 2hrs to finish the entire tour! Beautiful fort I've ever seen way better than Jaipur's forts! ❤️✨Though they should maintain and preserve angoori garden more, can plant trees there tor restore the beauty.

The fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has such a rich history. It was fascinating to explore the beautiful palaces, courtyards, and intricate architecture. We will be able to see the stunning views of the Taj Mahal from there.

It was such an experience finally to have seen the enormous Fort. It is captivating and relatable to the grandness and history of India. Worth every penny of the 600 rupees as a foreigner. Lots of scope to try out photography skills. A good 2 hours is easy to see most areas. Calm and welcoming and memorable.

Don't visit at noon.The evening will be the greatest time to visit the fort.You may take drinking water with you but not other food items.If u have a bag then there is a locker room.I would suggest not to take anything along with you.It closes by 5.40 and sometimes they open till 6 Pm.The view of the Taj Mahal from the fort is incredible!

It is a must visit, It has alot of history and artefacts are beautiful.I would recommend hire a guide as he/she will tell you alot of stuff.Guide will make it more interesting for you and it should not be missed while visiting Agra.

Marvellous piece of Architecture. In India there many places with great architecture. This monument is worth visiting. Better to book online tickets and avoid long queue. Early morning is best time to visit less crowded and peaceful. Drinking water is available inside gate no need to carry bottles avoid plastic.

Here, you will get the image of the monument reflected on the water. However, it is a crowded spot so you have to wait for your turn to be able to position here, and quickly take your shots once you're in front as others also want to be in this prime spot.

Cherish your moment there, an iconic heritage site. No wonder it's among the wonders.Go to the site during proper day light and spend time till evening to enjoy the sunset moment.The normal entry ticket costs 50 per head, whereas to the podium it will be 150. Of course it's worth visiting and look at the artworks from close eye distance. Keep your token handy, as it is required while exit.

As expected a truly incredible experience. It was magnificent and worth hiring a guide to explore the entire area. Recommend using the restroom before entering the grounds as they are very limited there and not great. Make sure to look at the detailIn the marble with all of the exotic stone inlays (by hand) in the dome.

Always a stunning place to look upon, with a mesmerizing and breathtaking view, no matter how many times you have visited. Recently, a main mausoleum ticket has been introduced, costing ₹150. For those visiting for the first time, they might consider buying the ticket, but I suggest not to. There's nothing inside worth spending an extra ₹150 for , the main entry ticket is for ₹50 (also don't buy those shoes cover outside, you can get them for free at the main mausoleum entry and you only need them for main mausoleum )

How can you not visit one of the 7 Wonders of the World?! This palace is simply amazing and beautiful. I have no words for this beautiful structure. Beyond its beauty, there is a powerful story of the history, involving family, murder, imprisonment, death, and memorial after death. Despite seeing a lot of other visitors there, it didn’t feel crowded. And once you entered inside to see the replica of the tombs, you entered in single file that seemed to move along quickly. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and overall it was fairly clean. Getting back was a trip! Waiting for the golf cart transport with the other visitors, there was no proper order or manners-so you gotta be quick if you want a seat on the transport back!

It is just phenomenal when you look up-front...... It is even more beautiful when you look up close. The pictures can never define it's beauty. It is truly one hell of a wonder.... And we went at the golden hour .... The sunset made it look even more magnificent....Ps: Don't visit on Friday as it remains closed on Fridays

No matter how many times you have visited this wonderful monument, every time it feels so different and so amazing and it really would be a monumental regret of your life to not have visited this monument once in your lifetime.It's like this monument has a life of its own and you too will feel it when you are near to it.No wonder why many dream of visiting this wonder everyday.I wish I get a chance to visit this beauty again!

No doubt it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. Spectacular, Beauty created with great architectural skills. Hire a guide there and you will get so much more to know. It will take around 1hour 30 minutes for a full tour with a guide. It has been created so thoughtfully ages ago that you can't imagine. The symmetry in architecture, the 2D designing giving 3D illusions, the carvings of gems and the way they glow in light, I was so amused to see all that which I didn't know earlier. I admire the beauty but more than that the architectural skills. Must visit atleast once in a lifetime..

Well managed but for the first timers, it can be tricky to take autos from the car parking as autos are only allowed till a certain point. It is best to take government run battery buses from parking to entry point. From there just a 2 minute walk and one can buy entry tickets before getting in the queue. A big racket and ruckus about shoe covers, so please buy them in advance !

Very nice maintained world heritage monument. Recommended to arrive at Taj early morning from 5:30 - 6:00 am when the queue is not there. Wheelchair are available free. Battery cars take you from the parking for a nominal fee of Rs 20/- per person.

Historical Monument of India and one of the seven wonders of the world. It is still charming though many years have passed. There is brilliance and accuracy in every portion of the monument. The area is taken care very well. The garden is Maintained well. There are plenty of visitors visiting each and every day from different places and countries. Thanks to the authorities for the timely maintenance and protection given to it.

Nice and impressive building. We couldn’t make the most of it due to the fog during the 2 days we stayed in Agra.So crowed.The access to the building from the city is a chaos. This should be considered and improved for one of the wonders of the world.

It’s a must visit destination in indiaIt is an architectural marvel and an enduring symbol of love. Its stunning white marble facade, intricate carvings, and symmetrical gardens attract millions of visitors annually. While some may find it crowded, its historical significance and breathtaking beauty make it a must-visit destination. However, preservation efforts are essential to maintain its grandeur for future generations.I would recommend hiring a guide as it will help you in entry and will click your good pics as they know the trending pics also

Visited my first ‘7th Wonder of The World’ and I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful it was. We had a guide who was very knowledgeable about all aspects.There are a lot of vendors who try to sell you items which are probably not authentic.Don’t fall for the photographers too who will charge you an arm and a leg.A must see!

Once in a life time, Must WatchOne of the 7th Wonder in the World

Very nice place feeling is good.Absolutely stunning and marvelous; must-see in your lifetime. Even if the journey is long for you (40 hours for me to get here from Florida) it is worthwhile getting to see this fantastic structure. I highly recommend you pay for a guided tour as it will be educational and efficient. The great photography was a bonus! Indescribable the setting and the architecture as well as the love story here. Hire a local photographer for their digital copy then you don’t have to worry about getting nice photos. They know the nice shots for you. You could get a paper copy as a choice. Go to the other side across the river as well to see from a different view. It looks different depending on the time of day.Spectacular! Great history and amazing architecture! Must see whilst visiting North India. Absolutely loved it. Although if you are non Indian tourist, you have to be careful with local tour guides and shop owners not to try to charge you few times more for services and items.

Title: One of the seven Wonders of the world.Reason: It's epic construction and the detailing done on it.Suggestion: Must go in your lifetime but it's worthwhile for a one time visit only.

A very nice location with good vibes. It is one of the greatest locations in the world, and you should see it at some point in your lifetime. Even if the journey is long, you should consider taking a guided tour. It is an amazing structure to see. The great photography was an unexpected bonus! The location, architectural design, and the love story are incredible. You can hire a local photographer to obtain high-quality pictures. They will help you take pictures of your choice. You can also purchase a hard copy. You can look at it from another perspective by crossing the river. It is different at various times of day. It is an amazing history and an amazing structure! It is something that can be appreciated while visiting North India. It was marvelous. While it may be hard for non-Indian tourists to find local guides and shopkeepers who will not try to overcharge them for services and items, it is very worthwhile.

One of the 7 wonders of the world for a reason and that reason can only be experienced and not explained. This was my 2nd visit and once again got mesmerized by its beauty, salute to efforts put into carvings. the gems and stones used glitters in sunlight even after 400 years. Must visit place. Highly recommended!!

I would say after seeing it with your own eyes only you will understand why it has been included into the list of world wonders.It is really really beautiful. Very huge, Majestic, Architectural and engineering Marvel.I have never seen something so beautiful and elegant.Hope you like the pictures that I have captured. You can watch the complete vlog on "Shiva Asal Vlog"

Lived up to it's expectation as a wonder of the world. The story behind the mausoleum is very sad but demonstrated a different world. We went on the anniversary of the kings death which meant we could see extra things and this was lucky for us! Stunning!

Insanely beautiful and awe inspiring. The love story is also beautiful and tragic. Sunrise viewing was stunning, and walking around enabled tourist free photos. Highly recommend life changing experience.

It's a beautiful place and a beautiful structure. The view of yamuna is amazing on the backside, properly maintained and garden view is also great. A must visit place with friends or family. Just one thing which was not okay that washrooms are not properly maintained other than that it's a great area and great place. I really enjoyed being there 👍🏻

What can I say, it's the most amazing place I have ever visited. The story behind the Taj Mahal and the craftsmanship is incredible. I went as part of a tour, I would definitely recommend getting a tour guide as they can tell you all about the history.We got there just before 8am and there were no wait times at all and this was a Saturday. There are photographers who will take your picture if you want them to but otherwise your tour guide will know all of the best spots to have them. I truly hope I get to visit again!

Without a doubt, the beauty of this place takes your breath away. It's recommended to go at dawn to see the sun rise there. Just be prepared to be patient because it's very crowded, and everyone wants to take photos too. I bought the tickets on the official India website, and it was quite easy; you don't need to go with a guide. You can read all about the place before, during, or after. Make sure to buy the entrance to the place along with the mausoleum. There's a long list of things you can't bring in; try to go with just your phone, wallet, and nothing else if possible

Don't hire photographers and guides. Service not good.They'll eat your money.Instead take your own camera.Peta sweet is very famous here but again bargain. Ask rates in 3-4 shops and then buy.Of course an iconic place. Enjoy

Place is seems to be good when it comes to architecture. Needs to take care of by government more than before. Entry ticket is 50 rs for outer red stones but you you have to take 250 tocket if you want to walk on white marble. Yes you can take wheelchair services. No need to carry bags and extra carry. Just deposit to lockers. Huge parking is there and 500 mt walk from parking to taj entry. Yes there is washroom inside at the right corner of this property.Friday is closed.

the one of the wonder monuments which we must visit at least once in our life. It's truly a world wonder. Try to visit at opening time , so we can avoid being too crowded and have a peaceful atmosphere.

One of the oldest forts in Madhya Pradesh as well as in India, Gwalior Fort is known for its stunning architecture and unique history. Sprawling and offering unforgettable city views, this hill fort has been ruled by dynasties of different kingdoms over the years. It is also considered as one of the most impenetrable forts in the country. Hence, if you are passionate about different cultures and their past glories, a visit to Gwalior Fort is a must.

Gwalior Fort, situated on top of a hill, finds its place among the best fortresses of India. It is also considered to be one of the most impenetrable forts in the country. Known for itsgreat architecture and rich past, Gwalior Fort is a must-visit attraction when visiting Central India.

Without a doubt my only reason for visiting Gwalior was the Gwalior Fort and it proved to be one of the best decisions. It's rich in culture, history and the fort itself is a sheer beauty to the eyes. Carry lots of water and wear sunscreen, if possible travel in winters rather than summers. In the evening it's an experience all together. A must visit in your Gwalior itinerary.

Gwalior is a Heritage city, and Gwalior fort is something Gwalior is known for, it has some historic touch,One of the oldest forts in Madhya Pradesh as well as in India, Gwalior Fort is known for its stunning architecture and unique history. Sprawling and offering unforgettable city views, this hill fort has been ruled by dynasties of different kingdoms over the years. It is also considered as one of the most impenetrable forts in the country. Hence, if you are passionate about different cultures and their past glories, a visit to Gwalior Fort is a must

An amazing experience, a must visit place if you like sculptures and history. A place Ted Mosby and Ross Geller would approve as it is a mix of architecture brilliance and Archeology. It's better to get a guide if you want to know the relevance of each room and Mahal. Unfortunately I didn't take one and my target was to explore the full place. I suggest you to take one full day to explore this place, reach the fort by 8:30 in the morning and climb up. Once you finish the fort, you can visit the Temples nearby Sas Bahu and Teli temple. Both stand tall for the architectural brilliance. The only reason am not giving a 5 star for this place is because it is not maintained well, they could have helped people visiting the place much better. I don't know why they don't get the importance of tourism. People writing their names on the wall ( the wall that stood against many invasion), throwing rubbish here and there and very badly maintained ponds take away that perfect experience of the place. Don't forget to see the oldest zero mentioned in script at this place in chaturbhuj temple.

This place was wonderful. I loved the history, architecture and a breath of fresh air from the city. It's a must-to-be visited place if you're going to Gwalior.

Mesmerising architecture of this magnificent fort. There are guides easily available and best if you visit early in the morning as there is less crowds.Guides will help you to navigate, the also tell the history of some places and even show some unknown things that can't be spotted easily. While you're here at this big sandstone structure don't forget to visit the surrounding places in the hill

The Gwalior fort I must say I am overwhelmed and stunned by the beauty of this beautiful place. My recent visit to Gwalior would always be memorable because of this unimaginable visit to fort. I would say you can’t get enough of this place once you would reach there. This place is actually the crown of this beautiful city. I still don’t understand why this place is so underrated. So you can visit this place by your own vehicle which is allowed till the top and autos or other public transport is allowed only till main entrance. If you love tracking and exploring places please chose to track till top I must say you won’t regret it. Start early in the morning and have snacks and eatables to enjoy your day. The tickets are too nominal like 10 and 25 rs once you reach on the top you would get a breathtaking view of the whole city. One can even plan their pre wedding shoots to this place. I was stunned to see the architect and engineering used. The historical background of this place is really vast. There were multiple rulers who ruled this place. And one can have a good taste of rich cultural and historical heritage.

A beautiful structure with a very rich history. We went by the drive-up route which was gorgeous. There is another route to walk up which is a 20-minute trek. One can get a glimpse of different architecture styles here of its different conquerors.

Must visit. It covers a huge area. Its beautiful (although not maintained),especially the Man Singh palace has a lot to explore. But I would recommend, must go in a group of 4-6 people, as there are very less security gaurds inside. We were just 2 friends and realized this.

The main palace has nothing extraordinary. I'm giving it four stars because there are more places to see other than the palace. They have a beautiful gurudwara up there, two temples, and an amazing view of the gwalior city from the top that you shouldn't miss.

Gwalior fort is very nice place to visit but only visit when you are interested in Indian history . Good to have guide with you. If you can walk for 2km then only visit gwalior form. Ticket cost you approx 100rs .visiting with child's are not preferable.

I've no words to describe this place it's way more beautiful than it looks in these pictures of you are in Gwalior you should definitely visit the fort you'll need only 2 hrs to completely explore the fort but if you want to enjoy more you should visit in evening at 4 to enjoy the light and sound show as well.

This is one of the best places to visit in Gwalior. This ancient fort has great historical values and needs your time to understand. Situated at the centre of the city so reaching here is very easy. I would say to come via own vehicle or book a van. The sunset is so soothing and a great place for children. A must visit tourist place.

Gwalior Fort is seriously impressive! It's perched up on this hill, giving you this epic view of the city. The fort itself is like a time machine. You step in, and suddenly, you're surrounded by centuries of stories.The architecture's mind-blowing, and wandering around, you can't help but feel the history all around you. And those views? Oh, they're breathtaking! It's like a front-row seat to Gwalior's past and present. Even the view of the city from the heights is so so so breathtaking.If you're into stepping back in time while soaking in incredible vistas, this place is a must-visit!

A heritage place where one Must visit.... Unfortunately the younger generation is more interested in carving their so-called love life in the walls of the first. Oh and yes ... BEWARE OF THE CONS OF THIS PLACE... people here are FRAUDS. BEST IS TO DO YR Home Work AND THEN VISIST THE PLACE.

Unique turquoise tiles beautification with a series of rulers. Hiring a guide is a must as with historical timelines, the experience gets better and you feel more connected to the fort and its rich history. It will take approx 2-2.5 hours to complete the visit of all the nearby attractions along with the fort

Nice place for Trek. Challenging upward slope. You can view the city on your right side. Need atleast 3-4 hrs to fully go through this place. Each and every place here is worth visit. 25rs entry ticket to enter each place here. While returning it would be fun as you can cover whole distance in just 2-3 minutes if you run. But be careful while running, if you slip, you could get roll over till the end.

Nice place ...It has its own value and importance in MP history.It's maintained and carefully preserved .Well cleaned and well fenced.Main attraction is the laser light show . But honestly I am saying due to time issues I couldn't attend that show.One can go by walk or E-vehivke or Auto is also available.Really it's amazing to see the whole gwalior from the top of the Fort.

1. Tickets needed for various access points. 20rs each and for ASI museum 5rs.2. Very nice and big fort covering a very huge span.3. Best time to visit early in the morning. And late evening. Afternoons in summer are heavy to explore. Carry your own water bottle and camera.

It's a great place to have a Picnic with your family or if you want a peaceful walk. You can see the whole Gwalior from up there.Loved it!

There are a lot of things to explore. It's really amazing place to visit. The ticket price for visiting the Saas bahu temple, and fort is worth it to watch. The view is amazing to watch. Doing meditation and yoga here is totally Paisa wasool.

This is a heritage monument related muslim religion. Good architecture, moderately maintained. You can buy cold drinks and snacks inside the monument campus. The small garden was properly maintained and the place was clean. I missed the opportunity to visit the entire place as my mother was having problems with so many stairs. I personally feel that the entry ticket is highly priced as you have to pay to the guide in addition to entry tickets. Otherwise the place is good.

A beautiful and soothing place. I'd recommend you guys to visit during winter as in summer the temperature is around (35-40)°C so you guys will get exhausted, sun tanned and then it becomes boring. Also make sure you hire a guide for better understanding of the inside architecture and history.

Management needs to be improved. Compounds have good waste disposals at every nook but People should not be allowed to enter the main building like bhool bhulaiya with plastic bottles and juice cartons. There were many left overs along the chambers. It affected the experience. I didn't click photos as I didn't want to ruin the image. It's worth a visit though

Historical landmark in Lucknow.. but management needs to be improved.. ticket is 50 rs per person.. and guide charge is 200 rupees.. nothing to see without guide.. but the place is the main tourist attraction so you have to visit..

It is said that this monument is build of 5 types of lentils. The nawabs use to attack the Britishers from the Bhul bhulaiya situated inside. Also there are treasures buried under this monument which no one can find out as keys have been dismissed. Also there are pathways situated under this fort which opens out to Delhi, Hyderabad and some other major cities. The interiors were very beautiful and I was amazed to see the maze or the bhul bhulaiya which has been constructed so well. The view from the top is also amazing. This place is a must visit if you're in Lucknow.

The place has its own historical significance.If you are in Lucknow don't miss it..The combo ticket for Indian people is 50 rupees and the charge of the guide is 300 rupees. You cannot bring any professional camera with you.You have to submit large or small baggage and camera before entering. Photography and videography are prohibited.You can still capture a few handful of pictures. The place is really worth multiple visit .The labyrinth or vul vulaiya is really mesmsrazing.

An iconic place to visit in Lucknow. The most interesting part is the Bauli. The inside of the main building is way too crowded. No body follows Covid norms. If you are a photographer you will have hard time finding a clear frame as this tourist place is too busy. Also, we felt the old structure could have been more maintained and well taken care of. The tourist department has not paid much attention to the maintenance of the old iconic building.

Great historical place. Had a really pleasant experience here. The local guide was very enthusiastic and cheerful. If you ever visit here for the first time, do take the services of a guide, it will beneficial as many a things cannot be known by tourists if explored solo. Really picturesque place. You will be fascinated to know about the history and technology of this place. Must visit, if ever in Lucknow.

Too much restrictions too much of commercialization and rigid handling that you miss the elegance of this place.Built by the Nawab of Awadh in for Azadari remembrance, this is elegant and amusing in its construction. It has 45 ways to the inside but just two leading outside.Too many restrictions and conventional rigidities make the experience bad but this is a must visit monument in Lucknow.Take a guide if you are in a group, it helps.

This imambara is the second largest after the Nizamat Imambara. The building complex also includes the large Asfi mosque, the Bhul-bhulaiya (the labyrinth), and Bowli, a step well with running water. It is said that there are 1024 ways to reach the terrace, but only two ways to come back, which is through the first gate or the last gate. It is an accidental architecture. It was also a relief measure during 1780 famine providing employment generation.

A nice historical place to visit in Lucknow. The top view is beautiful. It is preferable to take a guide for complete tour. Monday it remains close and on Friday, this place opens for tourists at 3pm.

It's lovely, it's beautiful it holds lots of stories. You'll need a guide here though. It's very clean, but don't fill your water through the drinking water the water's sus. Also a beautiful garden which you're not allowed to enter.

I've found this place good. It has been kept well by the govt despite of the fact that huge number of people visit here everyday. However, I found that the rate of tickets were at the higher side. 300 for the age of 16 and above is absolutely unnecessary. If this is considered as a place of worship then let people enjoy some rebate on ticket rates. Overall good experience. Cheers.

A nice place to visit and walk around if you’re in Lucknow. I wasn’t able to gain access since the electronic payment methods were down but I got to visit the lawns which were nice.It was also a bit crowded which I assume was due to Eid so I didn’t mind not being able to access the temple itself. Overall, a great spot for pictures!

One of the most beautiful historical place to visit in Lucknow. A place where you can see the way of living of Nawabs. If ever visited in Lucknow so I recommend you to must visit this place. Here you need a guide to visit inside bhool bhulaiya and it's seriously a bhool bhulaiya so be careful and take a guide if you are visiting first time. Helping staff and here you will get some snacks shops inside this place and toilet facilities available inside the place and you will be charged some amount if you're coming from personal vehicle as a parking fee. Overall it's my good visit.

Nice architectural design, the amount charged here is high bhool bhulaiya, picture gallery and clock tower are must place to visit.Tip: Hire guide over picture gallery as it will make your visit interesting.

Good old monument of Lucknow city. It was built by the Lucknow royal family. It's a beautiful place to visit with friends and family.

Historical Monument, good vibe while visiting the same. Bhul bhulaiya’s history is interesting & one should must visit & ask the same.

The place is impressive and lots of things to see. Tickets r also very reasonable. In ₹50 you can see everything inside. Guides take about 100-200₹. Guides are compulsory to visit bhool bhulaiya, which is inside the campus only. But it isn't maintained well, so that is a negative point and mostly the whole place is crowded

History - The Bara Imambara, located in Lucknow, India, is one of the most famous imambaras in the world. It was built by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, the great Nawab of Awadh, in 1784 to provide employment to people during a major famine in the region. The complex includes the main building, the Asfi Mosque, the Bhul-Bhulaiya (a labyrinth), and a stepwell known as Shahi Baoli.The main hall of the Bara Imambara, also known as the Asfi Mosque, is one of the largest vaulted galleries in the world and does not use any pillars or beams for support. It's a remarkable architectural feat of the Mughal era. The central hall is used for religious gatherings, particularly during Muharram, when processions and ceremonies are held to mourn the martyrdom of Imam Hussain.The Bhul-Bhulaiya, or the labyrinth, is a fascinating maze of corridors and passages within the complex. It is said that even though it's easy to get lost inside, one can find their way out by following specific routes.The Bara Imambara stands as a significant historical and cultural landmark in Lucknow, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to admire its architecture, explore its mysteries, and learn about its rich heritage.

Beautifull Mughal Architecture of Lacknow. It's a five stories architecture from 1st floor to top is the famous Bhulbhulaia.On the top floor- roof the scenic beauty of the city is excellent.One negetive point- behavior of Guides are very bad & rough.

It's really good to see the historical monument, surviving the test of the time...If you are History admire you should add this place in your to do visit list...for Its unique maze and structure..Govt and ASI dept were doing some restoration and I hope they will look after as many tourist visiting this place.

It is among top of Must visit places while you are in Lucknow. Architecture is really amazing andThe Bara Imambara is one of the most famous monuments of the city. It is also known as Asfi Imambara, as it was constructed in 1784 by then the Nawab of Awadh, Asif-ud-Daula. The best part is that it was built as a part of relief project for a major Famine that took place in 1784 (to provide basic necessity to their people by giving them work).Buildings is a 4 story and built without the use of iron bars. Whole Imambara contains Main building having large halls and Labyrinth, Badi Bouli, and asifi Mosque.Labyrinth (Bhool Bhulaiya) in it's wall is well ventilated has stairs and connection to tunnel (currently closed) which connect it to places like Allahabad, Faizabad, Delhi and the gomti river. It contains steep stairs so not recommended for extreme age people and for those who have knee issues.Another peculiarity is that at some places wall is constructed in such a way that wishers can be heard form long distance through walls.Timings: Remains Open from 06:00 am to 05:00pm all day except Monday. Bhul bhulaiya (Labyrinth) opens at 09:00 am, so it's better to visit accordingly.

A beautiful place with a lot of history to see and explore.Make sure to take water bottle during the day time as it is very hot .There are guides you can hire. Couples need to hire a guide compulsory.

Bada Imambara is one of must visit places if you are interested in history. Guide is compulsory with a couple.Guides here are friendly and tell you everything in details about the monument.There is a so called Bhool Bhulaiya at the top of monument which is a favourite place for guide to show their skills and knowledge about the monument.Overall place is beautiful and worth visiting of you are in city of Nawabs.

Hindu Pilgrimage place. The place of three River Sangama (Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathi)... its looks like sea.. I really enjoyed all the activities there. I also done some flower boat to ganga and also first time camel ride. Fabulous Experience. Any one visit here plz replay in our comment about your experience.

This is my 2nd time to Triveni Sangam. Please plan to go in the very early morning to avoid crowds. I was here around 5:39 am and literally just us but with in 1 hr the place got crowded. Please take a small empty water bottle to collect the river water. You also can buy empty bottles there don’t worry of you don’t have. People are nice specially the boat drivers. It’s a must see in your life. It’s one of the traditional place where you can put cremate ashes in here. There are 3 place where you can do the last spiritual function in India. As per I found out. Please check with your gurus. 1- Triveni Sangan( Uttar Pradesh) 2- Rameshwaram( Tamil Nadu)and 3- Vishnu Pad (Gaya, Bihar). So if you have time to visit all 3 please do so. Also please visit Allahabad( Founded in 1583) Fort just there and if you want to buy original Rudraksha just next to there and also visit the Hanuman Temple there.

Nice conference of Yamuna Ganga & Saraswati (said to be flowing beneath) But people there who take you for Boating 🛶 are useless, No uniformity in charges. They always want to over charge the Customers. Normally they take around Rs. 300/- per head. Don’t fall prey.

Not clean at all.India need to work out on these holy places.Auto riksha no meter system we pay double or triple price or even 4 times.System should work out on this and a watch on this scandal

I went to triveni sangam for the asti visarjan.I want to share how the prices looks like and which can help the others.Boat personal for 2 people : 1000inrPuja saman: 100Priest: 2000Near sangam for boat stand :100Near sangam I used 3glasses of milk they charge :100Near sangam when I'm doing asti visarjan in to the river they charge :500 (I don't know why!!!)Again when I'm coming back the boat sailing person ask me to give tip 300 but I gave only 100.Total: I paid around 3900Please be careful when you are with priest they ask money for sweets or Dan so if you want you can give how much you need but it's not mandatory. Instead of giving big amounts of money better to donate that money in annadanam.very good atmosphere and feeling blessedI took taxi from subedarganj to triveni sangam to kasi Vishwanath temple and then dropping to railway station in Banaras. Total trip I paid 3500 .Please be careful with money..

Boat wala demands as per their wish there is no organised way. I doubt they really take to sangam i felt i was still on the yamuna ji. Everything is money.

The Ganga Riverfront offers a serene and captivating experience, with its scenic beauty and cultural significance. The positive aspects include well-maintained walkways, vibrant landscapes, and a peaceful atmosphere. Prioritize safety by adhering to guidelines

There is no proper ghat constructed. Lots of garbage was dumped all around and in the water. Water was dirty and water was not clean for bathing.Flow of water is very fast during rains so it is dangerous to swim in water.

We visited the Ganges in three different cities but Varanasi was by far the best. We did a number of trips up and down the river taking in all the sights and culture. We enjoy attending Aarti whilst on the river which was an experience you won’t find in many places in the world. If your in Varanasi definitely do at least one trip on the river and you have a wonderful view of the city.

The Ganga our holy river where you can clean all your sins. Trust after idiom in the river you will feel refreshed and energetic. Take a bath and do worship of Baba Kashi Vishwanath.

The ghat is a beautiful place to visit while in Varanasi. A lot of improvements are taking place. Cleanliness still has a lot of scope. Boat ride is a must do activity to enjoy the beauty of ghats also it is much clearer on the other side if you wish to take a bath.

If you ever visit Varanasi you should have to visit this ghat. It is one of the famous ghat in Varanasi. Good thing is that it is near to the kasi vishvanath temple. Only walkable distance between them. One of the world famous MAA ganga ji arati performed here every evening. Lots of people gathered there to witnessing this. If you plan to visit you should go 1-2 hours prior so that you get a comfortable and easily seen seat there. Seen arati from boat is a very good adventur . My children enjoy it very much. My parents also like it very much. The nice thing is that here every one seems to be very disciplined, which seems very rare in India

Visited the ghat this last week. The Ganga river flow being high, in monsoon rains, the Aarti is not done on the river bank steps. But on a roof of a building. See photos attached. As expected. A large crowd for the evening Aarti.

It was a wonderful experience of attending Ganga Arti at this Ghat. Holy atmosphere. Feels very nice and proud. Those who are performing Arti are very professional and have very good coordination.The behavior of volunteers was very rude. May be due to the crowd. But they must be a little polite, as their importance is due to devotees only.

It was one of the most magical ✨moment to witness such divinity and beauty at this Ghat. The Ganga Aarti is so blissful and beautiful that one can just feel some supreme power around. The boat ride takes 100 rupees per person and you can experience some mesmerising sights of the Ghats, Sunrise 🌅 and Sunset 🌅 views.I highly recommend everyone to explore something like this in their life!Har Har Mahadev 🔱🕉️🙏🏻

People from around the world come here to witness everything here. You will not be bored for a moment here. You feel our Bharat here. The culture,dharma and soul of our country.

Visited the Ghat, albeit remotely, as I did this from a boat.The Ganga Aarti is a visual spectacle and gives you a feel of Benaras in all its spiritual vibe and pageantry.The Ghat was really crowded during the Aarti and the Aarti is best viewed from a boat. Would also avoid any unusual incidents due the overcrowding. We took the boat from NaMo Ghat.

The must-visit spot in Varanasi, Dashashwamedh Ghat, stands as the city's iconic landmark. Renowned for its mesmerizing evening aarti, it draws crowds seeking spiritual serenity. To secure a prime spot, it's advisable to arrive early, or opt for a boat seat along the Ganges' banks for an optimal view. Witnessing the aarti is a captivating experience not to be missed.Given the bustling atmosphere, caution is advised against carrying valuables due to the possibility of pickpocketing. It's prudent to safeguard personal belongings and carry a refillable water bottle for convenience.

The life starts and ends at ganga. The faith of people who gather here is commendable and the much needed element in every ways of life

The ghats are a great and fascinating riverside walk, and for the western traveller let you experience absolute classic the sights, sounds and yes - the smells of India in a couple of miles with no real hassle or pestering. But if you only have time or money for one thing whilst you are there make sure it is the aarti ceremony at sunset.If you are not Hindu and not taking part in the ceremony be sure to remain respectful and unobtrusive because this is not a tourist spectacle but a sincere and prayerful act of worship for more than 90% of the people there. However, it really is a spectacle: a vibrant, awe-inspiring feast for the eyes and ears.

It is one of the famous ghat of Varanasi. People bath in the holy water here and then bow down to Shiva. This ghat is clean and has multiple changing rooms for women.One can witness Ganga Aarti at this ghat everyday at 7:00 PM.

Dashashwamedh ghat is a sight to behold. The sound of bells and singing fills the air as you walk through the busy streets. The ghat itself is an architectural and artistic marvel, with elaborate carvings and brilliant colours covering every surface. As locals and visitors alike converge to see the daily Ganga aarti ceremony, the excitement of the throng is contagious. The sight of hundreds of lamps being lit and offered to the river is incredibly hypnotic. And you can't help but feel a sense of serenity and spirituality sweep over you as you take in the beauty of the ghat and the river.

Beautiful atmosphere and the ganga aarti is magnificent. The place is filled with crowd so one needs to reach early and hold seat. There are balcony seats and boat seats available for extra charges. The vibes are really feel good.

Probably the most crowded ghat of Varanasi 😊 Along with authority the public and tourists should take care in keeping the ghat clean. Watching ganga aarti here in the evening was the most surreal experience that one must not miss. The huge crowd gathered at the ghat to witness the aarti was managed very well. They were not unruly which was amazing to see. For a photographer it is one of the best places to capture a few incredible shots. Please keep the place when you visit 🙏

The present ghat was built by Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao in the year 1748. A few decades later, Ahilyabahi Holkar, the Queen of Indore, rebuilt the ghat in the year 1774.The Ganga Aarti (ritual of offering prayer to the Ganges river) is held daily at dusk. Several priests perform this ritual by carrying deepam and moving it up and down in a rhythmic tune of bhajans.Special aartis are held on Tuesdays and on religious festivals.The Ganga Aarti starts soon after sunset and lasts for about 45 minutes.

The Ghat where religious "Ganga Aarti" is performed in evening. The Aarti is performed at 6:30 pm which takes around 1 hour. Its very pleasing to view this aarti. Visit atleast 30 mins before to get good seat. You can view the aarti from boat or from behind where it is performed.If you want to see it from boat, take boat from other ghat around 4:30pm to 5 pm. They will give you a round of all the ghats and tell you the story of each ghat after that they will park their boat in this ghat where you can see the Aarti.Aarti is performed by 5 priests in a very pleasing manner, its a must view if you are visiting Varanasi. Aarti is also performed in the morning but evening aarti has its own value.

One of the busiest places in Varanasi near Kashi Vishwanath Temple, quite famous for the fabulous Ganga arti.

Every evening, a maha aarti is offered to bhagwaan shiv ji, ganga maiyya , Agni dev , Surya Dev ,as well as to the whole universe. It' s known as the most beautiful ghat of all .Varanasi's liveliest and most colourful ghat.The name DASASHVAMEDH indicates that 'Brahma DEV sacrificed (medh) 10 (das) horses (aswa)'here.

Lord Brahma sacrificed 10 horses at Rudrasaras and installed two Shivlings. The place was later renamed Dashashwamedh Ghat to pay respect to him.

It's a total transformation of the area, the corridor built from the ghat to Kashi Vishwanath temple has made it very convenient for people to visit the temple. The facilities created are modern toilets, the food court has made it very convenient for the visitors. The management must take action to keep the men's toilets neat and clean.

Bodh Gaya is one of the four holy places and is the spot where Buddha attained ultimate enlightenment. After leaving his birthplace, Lord Buddha attained “Enlightenment” under a pipal tree. That pipal tree is known as Bodhi tree.

A very warm and calm place for soul and peace. The monks are very good, they tell us about the place with all the details. The tree is literally giving positive vibe. I literally loved the place.. and the best thing is its the centre of attraction 🕉️ will visit again.
