Beyond Forts And Palaces: Jaipur’s Best Monsoon Trekking Trails
Explore Jaipur Beyond Its Forts: Many of Jaipur’s forts, temples and safari zones are surrounded by the Aravalli hills. Popular trekking spots include Nahargarh, Jaigarh, Galta Ji, Hathni Kund, Natata Valley, Chor Ghati and the Amer Sagar-to-Kukas trail.
Trek Along Historic Fort Walls: Nahargarh, Jaigarh and the valleys around Amer are among Jaipur’s most popular monsoon trekking areas. Their hilltop routes and long fort walls offer relatively accessible trails, panoramic city views and excellent photography opportunities.
Discover The Trails Around Jal Mahal: The hills behind Jal Mahal feature peaceful forest tracks, rocky paths and seasonal streams. Trekkers can also follow the route from Gurjar Ghati towards the Vaishno Devi Temple and other ancient shrines hidden amid the hills.
Trek Near Jaipur’s Safari Zones: Jaipur’s forested landscape includes safari areas such as Jhalana, Amagarh and Beed Papad. Separate trekking trails can be found nearby, with the steep climb towards Amagarh’s old twin towers being especially popular during the monsoon.
Temple Trails Through the Hills: Several trekking routes lead towards ancient temples nestled in Jaipur’s forests. Ghati Ke Balaji near Galta, the hills around Khole Ke Hanuman Ji, Papad Ke Hanuman and the Galta Gate area combine nature, adventure and heritage.
Trek Safely During The Monsoon: Rain can make forest paths slippery and difficult to navigate. Avoid unfamiliar trails without a local guide, never trek alone and wear shoes with a firm grip. Carry water and light snacks, and always follow Forest Department rules.
