Why to visit Garadia Mahadev Temple

A stunning sight to witness! The Garadia Mahadev Temple, a well-known shrine in Kota, Rajasthan, has become a major magnet for the tourism sector!Tourists can experience outstanding scenic beauty with serene surroundings thanks to the majestic temple's panoramic views. Near the Chambal River, gorge, and plains, it is regarded for providing one of the most mesmerising views.The view of the crystal blue Chambal waters is a fascinating sight, resembling a picture made by nature herself! Because of its remote position, you can even arrange for an early morning picnic on the cliffs of Garadia Mahadev Temple.

The temple is on the national route 76, which connects the Dabi and Chittorgarh areas. The Mukundra National Park includes the View Point and the shrine. The Mukundara Tiger Reserve is around 50 kilometres from Kota, and tigers from the Ranthambore Reserve are sometimes transported there.

The best way to go to the temple is to take a taxi or cab ride from the city. You can also take a bus or a rickshaw to get there. Except for the last 2 kilometres, where the road is in bad condition, the journey to the temple is relatively easy. Because the temple is located in a very isolated place, you should not be shocked if you see no one or maybe a few people. The temple is reached by ascending a few steps.

Special Tip

There is no entry fee to visit the temple but photography and videography is charged approx INR 50. I would suggest you to carry ID cards as that will be required at the entry point to the forest.The ideal months to visit Garadia Mahadev are between August and January. However, late monsoons are the best time to experience this place at its prettiest.
