Everything in nature always inspires us to be what we are!

With this inspirational thought, I am here with a new adventurous and one of the most beautiful treks in Jaipur, which starts from Sagar Lake and ends at Chohde Ke Hanuman Ji.

This trek is my personal favorite as the viewpoint from the place is so captivating and epic. The place is just an admirable and exquisite gift of nature. I would definitely recommend Jaipurits to go and experience this beauty of nature, especially in Monsoon.

I am going to share all the required information related to this trek, but first, let's begin with knowing something about the place -

About Sager Lake

Sagar Lake can be considered the exclusive hidden gem for the general people. This rectangular-shaped man-made Lake was built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh, with the intention of rainwater harvesting. So that the water stored in the lake can be used in the Amer Fort or by the local animals. 

The lake is divided into two parts:

• Upper Sagar and,
• Lower Sager.

Situated just behind the Kheri Gate and the Anokhi Museum, you can reach Upper Sagar directly by your car. But once you cross this and walk through the side path, you will be able to see the hidden standout of Lower Lake, surrounded by the beautiful Aravalli ranges.

As you move forward, you will come across a few temples and green trails, and finally, you will reach the most beautiful view of Jaigarh Fort surrounded by the beautiful green Aravalli, creating a spectacular view. 

What is the Trekking Route from Sagar Lake To Chohde Ke Hanuman Ji?

Sagar Lake is around 20 kilometers from the center of the city. And, to reach Sagar Lake one has to cross the Kheri Gate which is opposite to Anokhi museum. Kheri gate is also considered the landmark to reach Sagar Lake.

From Sagar Lake, there are a couple of other treks also start which are popularly known as Bhuteshwar Mahadev Mandir Trek, Amba Mata Trek, and Chohde Ke Hanuman Ji Trek. We will cover other treks in our next blog post.

To reach Chohde Ke Hanuman Ji, you need to follow the below path:

• Amer Fort --> Kheri Gate --> Take a left and Reach Sagar Lake.

• From Sagar, Lake --> Climb the stairs --> Take a Right and follow the trail, 

• And, just after 50 meters, you will find a big rock on which Jai Shri Ram is written in white. This can be considered as the marking of the starting point of our actual Trek.

• Keep walking and you will reach Parvateshwar Mahadev Temple, which is the first checkpoint. 

• Keep following the track path and you will see a Red Gate of Chode Ke Hanuman Ji Temple.

• To reach the viewpoint to capture the stunning view of Jaigarh Fort you have to climb a wall which is behind the temple.

What is the Best Time for Sagar Lake Trek?

The Best Time for this trekking is in Monsoon Season. The view during monsoon is just remarkable. It's full of green vegetation, and the weather will be chill with a windy aura, along with the calmness and peace surrounded by beautiful nature. A perfect scene for a picnic or a solitary time for yourself.

You can try this trekking in Winter Season as well but you will miss the greenery vegetation.

You can do this trek in Summer Season but you have to plan it early in the morning, as it will be extremely hot as the day passes and there will be not so much scenic beauty around.

My Experience of Sagar Lake Trek

I am always fond of places close to nature and full of green verdure. When I researched about this trek I was so excited and eager to reach the spot. Hence without wasting much time, I quickly called a few friends of mine in Jaipur and planned this trek for the following weekend.

We reached the decided meeting point at Sagar Lake near Kheri gate at around 6 AM morning. We parked our cars there, took our bags along with some eatery items and water bottles from the car, and started walking to move further as we had already missed sunrise and didn't want to be further late.

We walked just 50 meters through the sideway and found a big rock on which Jai Shri Ram was written in white. This was the actual starting point of our trek. We all were thrilled and excited to explore this part of Jaipur.

"Jai Shree Ram" is written on rocks placed as an indicator on the trek routes

We kept walking and with every passing step trail got more inclined and the view around looked more gorgeous as the big Jaigarh fort walls were clearly visible and covered in lush green trees. We grabbed our cameras immediately and captured some beautiful landscapes.

After spending a few minutes soaking in the beauty of the surrounding we continued our trek journey and in no time we reached Parvateshwar Mahadev Temple, which is the indicator that we are on the right path of our trek. 

And following the same trail further, we saw some beautiful flowers blooming on the Prosopis cineraria(also known as Khejri) tree which is widely found in the Rajasthan region all around our trail. The whole pathway looked amazingly beautiful and we couldn’t resist capturing the beauty of the trail.

As we continued our trek journey we reached a point where we saw a red gate and one more path in the right direction. As we were curious to know what was inside the red gate we went inside and to our surprise, we reached our destination, its the culmination of our trek we could clearly see the beautiful temple called Chohde Ke Hanuman Ji Temple.

We went inside the temple and offered prayers and in doing so we had a conversation with the priest inside the temple. He guided us to the viewpoint which is just behind the temple from where we can see the entire Jaigarh Fort.

Roaming outside Chohde Ke Hanumanji Temple

We thanked the priest and quickly moved behind the temple from where we had to climb a small wall and cover a 100-meter distance on the wall itself to reach the viewpoint. And, trust me after reaching the viewpoint we really felt our trek paid off well we were in front of the most stunning view.

If I try to explain the view that we witnessed, I may sound very dramatic because the view and the surroundings were extremely beautiful. The air was windy, and the weather was cloudy thanks to the monsoon season.

The view of Jai Garh Fort, surrounded by the green Aravalli ranges in front of us was just marvelous and splendid. We were so happy and nostalgic that we decided to come here. 

Incredible view of Jaigarh Fort from the Trek viewpoint

We could hear the birds chirping, the scenic beauty was glorious and the complete aura and the vibe of the place were just incredible. We really had a great friends bonding time, had some snacks, did a lot of talking sort of a picnic and finally came back.

Key Points to keep in Mind

1. The total trek distance is 3 to 3.5 kilometers and it will take around 2.5 to 3 hours to complete only the trekking part.

2. Carry a water bottle and some snacks with you if you want to set up a picnic after reaching. 

3. Try to wear a good pair of trekking shoes as the trail is steep and has stones on the trail.

4. Maintain cleanliness in nature. Do not throw any garbage in open. Always try to make our surroundings clean for our next fellow trekkers.

Nature never goes out of style. Nature in her green around the peaceful woods heals and alleviates all affliction.

I am here with a new trekking tour along the nature around Jaipur. Jaipur in monsoon is an entirely different vibe, and you cannot picture the Thar desert by thinking about Rajasthan anymore because it has much more to reveal.

So bringing up a perfect monsoon trekking spot for Jaipurites - The Hathni Kund Trek. I will be sharing all the necessary information related to this trek here. 

This is a must-to-go trek if you are staying in and around Jaipur during the monsoon, you will be amazed to see the magnificent beauty of nature here. You can come with friends or family to admire the exquisite scenery and witness the unimaginable view of nature in this touristy spot.

Let's begin with knowing about Hathni Kund -

About Hathni Kund

Hathni or Hathuni Kund is located at a distance of 17 kilometers from the main city of Jaipur. Being the most popular spot for a monsoon trek, the waterfall and the green gloriousness of nature here attracts many locals to pay a visit to this ravishing site. Although, it is said that, the kings earlier, used this spot to hunt wild boars.

According to the locals around this place, the name Hathni Kund derives from the local Rajasthani word which refers to one of the four directions. It is said that the origin of the River Dravyavati which flows through Jaipur city is Hathni Kund. It is believed that there was a big Dam built by Raja Sawai Madho Singh II. And the dam was shattered in the 1982 floods in Jaipur and hence the Hathni Kund came into existence. 

Now during the monsoon, there is a consistent flow of water creating the most beautiful waterfall surrounded by incredible flora, a peaceful aura, and green nature. There is a Shiva Temple named Hathuneshwar Mahadev just beside the Kund.

How to Reach Hathni Kund?

There are two trekking routes to reach Hathni Kund: 

1. Via Nahargarh: Through this route, the Hathni Kund trek starts from the very famous and well-known Charan Temple, devoted to Lord Hanuman. Charan Temple is 4 kilometers from Nahargarh.

Hathni Kund is actually behind the Charan Temple. There is a forest trail to reach the Kund, beginning just from the left side of the temple. The route from this pathway is shorter and comparatively less dangerous than the other one. You will notice many people trekking via this route during the monsoon season.

2. Through Vidhyadhar Nagar Jungle: This is a less explored route, which passes through the dense forest and is also a long way to reach Hathni Kund. Wild animals like Black Panther and leopards roam around this route, so if you are trekking via this route try to take a guide with you or go with extra precautions. 

What is the Best Time to Visit Hathni Kund?

The best time to visit Hathni Kund is the Monsoon season. The scenery during the rainy season is incomparable. The surroundings and nature would be so lush and green, the sky would be full of birds chirping, and you could literally hear even the peacock's voices. The entire region around the Kund would look so exquisite and stunning, that it can't be explained in words. You need to go and have a visit to witness this.

Also, there are chances that the waterfall will be dry if you go in any other season. You can only find water falling in the Kund in the monsoon season. 

During the Winter season, you can plan this trek but as mentioned you won't be able to see the waterfall as there would be no water.

Don't plan this trek in the Summer season. First, it will be extremely hot, and second, there will be no water at all.

My Experience of Hathni Kund Trek

My experience of Hathni Kund was very ravishing and memorable. It was sort of adventurous and one of the most beautiful treks I have ever had.

We started our journey early morning around 5 AM from my home and reached by 5.30 at Nahargarh. As we were going in the monsoon, the surrounding and the vibe of the place was so stunning and beautiful. The weather was so foggy and misty. 

We stopped for around 10-15 minutes on our way to Nahargarh as we couldn't resist seeing the outside beauty of Jal Mahal, so we did some photography and then again started our journey to the Charan Mandir, which is the starting point of our trek. 

We posed to capture the incredible beauty of Jal Mahal from Charan Mandir Point

The lanes and the scenery till Charan Mandir were so captivating and astonishing. We could not even see the roads clearly due to fog and clouds.  I couldn't believe that I am in Jaipur, the scenic beauty was giving me the feeling of any hill station like Mussoorie or Nainital.

We finally reached Charan Mandir and parked our car at around 6 AM. Also, there is an ample amount of parking in front of Charan Mandir so You can easily park your car and bikes.

As we reached early, there were not so many people at that moment. We quickly searched for wooden sticks for a safer side to have along the trek as protection and started our trek in a very exciting and adventurous mood.

In the middle of Hathni Kund Trek

As we moved further, we found the trek was not as tough as we thought, although we happened to encounter big spiderwebs on the way, here are sticks came to the rescue and we easily clear out the front view removing all the spiderwebs. 

We also found essential refreshments like water bottles, tea, and some chips in the midway. After around 1 kilometer, we found an old well, which can be considered a checkpoint, if you are on the correct route.

And then we continued our trek and after covering around 1KM we could see big rocks and a steep narrow valley with lush green trees in front of us and we could clearly hear the speaker sound and a lot of young crowds taking selfies which gave us an indication that Hathni Kund is about to come. 

Finally, we reached Hathni Kund in less than an hour around 7:30 AM. But, Unfortunately, the waterfall had less water which we didn't expect in the monsoon. But the vibe of the place was just remarkable, we could clearly hear the birds chirping and the melodies of peacocks.

Captured the top view of Hathni Kund

Also just beside the waterfall, there was a  Hathneshwar Mahadev Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. We paid a visit to the temple and spent some quality time there.

Being a nature and photography lover, the place was like heaven to me. We spent some time there enjoying the peace and calmness of nature and then returned back afterward.

Key Points to keep in Mind

1. The total trek distance is 3KM and it will take around 2-3 hours to complete the trekking journey.

2. Carry a water bottle with you to keep yourself hydrated. Wear a good pair of trekking shoes as the trail is steep and has stones.

3. Be aware of monkeys and other animals and insects. As it is a forest way, there are chances you might encounter them.

4. Maintain cleanliness in nature. Do not throw any garbage in open. Always try to make our surroundings clean for our next fellow trekkers.

Chulgiri Jain Temple

Chulgiri Jain temple was discovered in the year 1953 by Acharya Shri Desh Bhushan Ji. He visited this place in search of a peaceful place to practice meditation and finally chooses this place as the location of his introspection because of the beautiful serene environment and peaceful nature. Later he decided to build a Jain Temple, which was given the name "Chulgiri". 

The temple is built in the midst of the Aravalli ranges, at the top of Chulgiri Hills, which is 1000 steps from the ground.

Around the year 1966, three white stone sculptures of Shree Parshavnath, Mahaveer Swami, Tirthankars, and Neminath were inaugurated. Later the temple was renovated with 24 Tirthankar statues and a water tank to collect water for worship. 

Later in the year 1982, one of the tallest statues of Mahaveer Swami was constructed, which is around 21 feet tall. A 65 feet dome was also made to cover the statue. The statue is huge, beautiful, and made of white stone. 

The temple is one of the most religious spots for Jains. It also has a vast Jain library filled with religious books.

What is the Best Time to visit Chulgiri Hill?

The Best time to visit Chulgiri hill is during the Monsoon season. You will be thrilled to see the beauty of nature during this time. The whole Aravalli range would be covered with greenery and you will be really amazed and astonished to witness this scene. The view from the top during this time is definitely breathtaking. 

The Winter season is also a good option to visit and trek Chigiri hill. You will not feel hot, the climate would be pleasant and good for trekking.

Try not to visit here during the Summer season, summer would be really hot and you will get exhausted while climbing up. The trip would not be enjoyable.

What are the Timings to Visit Chulgiri Jain Temple?

The time to visit the Jain Temple is 10 AM to 8.30 PM

Although, Jains are allowed to enter and practice worship/do Pooja, early in the morning. 

Note: If you are visiting the place, especially for the Temple darshan, try to reach by 10, if you are not Jain. If you going to Chulgiri hills for an adventurous trekking experience and to enjoy nature's greenery and beautiful scenery and to get some self-loathing time for yourself, then you can go early in the morning. Not to miss to witness the Sunrise in the midst of Aravalli. 

Is there any Entry-fee to visit Chulgiri Jain Temple?

No, there is no entry fee applicable here.

Also, there is no chargeable parking. Although, car parking was quite risky as there is good space to park the car but no one to take care of.

My Experience of Chulgiri Hill Trek

My experience of the Chugiri trek was quite embracing and adventurous. In case you want to watch video, I have covered it in detail in my YouTube Channel - The Humble World. 

We planned this trek on one of the weekends during our stay in my hometown, Jaipur. We started very early at around 5 AM in the morning from our home and reached the base of the Chulgiri hills by 5.45 AM and parked our car at the same place at our own risk as there is no gated parking space. 

The morning vibe of this place is so serene and calm that I can clearly hear birds chirping. The surrounding was just amazing. It was really worth it to get up in the early morning to reach here. Nature was looking so beautiful and green everywhere. 

Early Morning Sunrise in Chulgiri Jain Temple

At the base of the stairs, no one was there to accompany us on our trek which was quite surprising. So we began our journey. As we keep climbing the stairs the view was getting more spectacular which was delight to our eyes. 

We can clearly spot the "Ghat ki Guni" tunnel after climbing around 200 stairs and lush green Aravali ranges soaked in mist make a perfect picturesque for photography. So without any delay, we grabbed our cameras and snapped a couple of pictures, and then continued our climbing journey afterward.

Spectacular view of Ghat ki Guni tunnel in Chulgiri Hills

After halfway through, we started to feel tiredness and we got completely drenched in sweat. So we took a break for a few minutes and sip water to keep ourselves hydrated. One local passerby passed as we were resting so we had a short conversation and joined him in our journey.

After climbing almost 1000 stairs we finally reached the top of the Jain Temple and trust me the view from this place is beyond words. Even at the top, we couldn't find anyone other than a fellow passerby.

And to our surprise entry to the Jain Temple was not allowed before 10AM for the public unless you are "Jain" which is a bit disappointing. Although we googled before visiting and the temple gets to open early in the morning. 

Even though we couldn't enter the temple, but still the trek, the view, and the surrounding made my visit here worth it.

If you are in Jaipur don't miss out on this incredible trek and plan accordingly.

Important Points 

1. Take care of the timings, if you are interested in visiting the temple from the inside.

2. Take a water bottle with you, if you are trekking to the top of Chulgiri hill.

3. Take care of the route if you are driving your own car, as the lanes are small you might miss your route.

4. Be aware of Monkeys. The monkeys here are very notorious and dangerous. They might try to snatch things from your hands or even sit and destroy your vehicle.

5. Try to wear good pair of shoes if you are climbing to the top.

We started our trek from Dargah which is at the base of the trek and covered a steep staircase which is enough to make us feel tired after only 50 stairs. As we are approaching the top, We couldn't resist doing some photography in between to capture stunning views of Amer fort and the lush green vegetation around it.

There are small bases present where there is enough space to take a rest and enjoy the scenic beauty of  the Maotha Lake and Amer Fort.
