Galta Ji Temple

What people say, in short
Galta Ji, the monkey temple, is a hillside temple near Jaipur that many commenters recommend visiting, with some suggesting practical tips like buying nuts for the monkeys at the bottom before walking up, or approaching from the Delhi highway side. One commenter calls it grand and beautiful, set among mountains, and suggests visiting its ponds. The main caveat is the monkeys, which a couple of commenters advise being careful of; one commenter finds it poorly maintained, another feels the views don't compare to Nahargarh, and one notes crowds can make a clear photo take some waiting.
