Galtaji




  Saturday the 25th a group of us went to see Galta ji on the edge of Jaipur, also known as the monkey temple. On the way we also passed the Suyra Mandir and a number of other temples on the hill. Dede and I also saw the Ambagarh Fort. It was a fun hike up the hill and back down the other side to get to Galtaji. The temple looked small from the top of the hill but when you got towards the bottom and went around the corner it opened up to some beautiful architecture. Like its name suggests there were a lot of monkeys, I even bought some peanuts to feed them. It was also nice to be a way from the crowds of the city and see some large areas of greenery. The view of Jaipur from the top of the hill was also amazing.
