Why Go: One of the jewels of Jaipur, The Galtaji Temple, is located only 10km away from Jaipur. The temple complex has many natural fresh water springs and 7 holy 'kunds' or water tanks. Among these kunds, the 'Galta Kund', is the holiest one and is believed to never get dry. A spring of pure water flows from the 'Gaumukh', a rock shaped like a cow's head, into the tanks. The splendid temple is built in pink sandstone, and because of its structure it looks more like a palace or 'haveli' than a traditional temple. Lush green surroundings encompass the temple that makes it look even more beautiful.
