Earlier this week, I visited Garh Ganesh temple to witness a sunrise in Jaipur. I have already written  a bit about Garh Ganesh Temple in few posts.I have listed them all here.

Garh Ganesh temple is a well known landmark since it predates Jaipur and can be seen from the old city area. It’s the oldest and famous Ganesha Temple in Jaipur.

I reached the starting point of the steps that lead to Garh Ganesh Temple prior to the sunrise. It was still dark. These steps are well lit even during the night.

One has an option to choose between tough and easy stairs which leads to the Garh Ganesh temple. The short one is the original path. It gives you a good cardio workout. On the flip-side, it’s steep.

Option two is what most people choose. Its a later addition; long but easy to traverse. Another advantage of choosing the former is that it allows you to enjoy the great views of Jaipur.

After reaching the sunrise point it was time to sit back and enjoy the sunrise.

With dark clouds dominating the horizon, there was no option but to wait for some more time…….. for the Sun to make an appearance. When the sun made its appearance, the sky looked unusually beautiful. It looked like a nuclear blast in the making!

It was not just the sunrise that was beautiful. The view of the sun rising with an expansive view of Jal Mahal, Mansagar lake and Kanak Ghati was stunning. Here is another picture which captures this magnificent landscape.

After enjoying views for some time, it was time to head back. Taking a different path and a bit of off-road and I was back at the base.

I’m still refraining from listing the sunrise points in Jaipur that are difficult to reach or involve some element of adventure as it might turn out to be mis-adventure! I’m sure people fit for the adventure will find it out themselves.

    1. I think we have this in common. I try to experience sunrise on weekends when there’s no work pressure during morning hours. Its the best thing to gift yourself. A promise of a new day!

    1. It’s certainly invigorating. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with everyone. Most people find it tough to climb up. Anyways, everyone has a different idea!
      The views are definitely stunning!

  13. Beautiful view of Jaipur from the top. What a panoramic view and the sky seemed to be quite clear that day. Always what you hope when you are chasing a sunrise or sunset – that the sky is clear enough for the sun to shine through. I’m guessing you took the steps going up since you mentioned you climbed steps? I would always, always go down the route that gives the best view. Even that route might be challenging, nothing wrong with going slow. Seeing the sights is often an indescribable experience 😀 Sometimes I’d feel not fit for an adventure…but the moment I start moving along then I start feeling adventurous and ready to have a good time 🙂

    1. Mabel, on the contrary I prefer sky with some clouds. That way there is lot more action in the sky! You can see more colors and tints that a clear sky. I’m sure if you are out there, nature will provide you enough motivation to go with the flow and not worry about the adventure part.
      Do you find yourself opportunity to witness sunrise or sunset? I’m sure Australian sky must be providing great sunset and sunrise opportunities.

      1. Haha, I too like clouds in the sky but not clouds that completely cover the sky – and some clouds is more interesting for long exposure photography. I prefer seeing sunsets as I am not a morning person at all. It has been very cold here in winter lately so I haven’t been out doing much sunset shots of late 😀

      2. I have tried some long exposure photography but not during the sunrise or sunset. I completely understand if you prefer sunset over sunrise. Sunrise does involve lots more effort and adjustments. Will look forward to your sunset pictures..then?
