- Galta Monkey Temple (Galtaji)
Galta Monkey Temple (Galtaji)
Situated between two granite cliffs, this temple is part of a
much larger temple complex. The complex has three sacred pools
which the monkeys enjoy swimming in. This Hindi temple is slightly
dilapidated but definitely still worth the trip out of the city -
the views of Jaipur afforded from its vantage are simply
unforgettable. The best time to see the temple is at sunset, when
the monkeys appear for their evening swim.

Language
Although English is generally used for official and
business purposes, Hindi is the official language and is spoken by
about 40 percent of the population. Urdu is the language common
with the Muslim demographic. India has a total of 22 official
languages
Money
The currency is the Indian Rupee (INR), which is divided into
100 paise (singular paisa). Major currencies can be changed at
banks, and authorised bureaux de changes. It is impossible to
obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in
India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is
illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is
advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart
from the National Bank. It is best to change money into small
denominations. Travellers cheques and major credit cards are widely
accepted, particularly in tourist orientated establishments. ATMs
are not generally available.
Opening Times
Open daily, from sunrise to sunset
