- Chand Baori (Stepwell) - The tour to Chand Baori in Abhaneri, a village in the Dausa district of Rajasthan, India, is a must-see. Located 95 km from Jaipur on the Jaipur-Agra road, Abhaneri was originally called Abha Nagri, meaning “city of brightness,” but the name changed due to mispronunciation. Although the city is now in ruins, it draws tourists worldwide. Situated opposite the Harshat Mata Temple, it was built in AD 800. Chand Baori features 3,500 narrow steps across 13 stories, extending about 30 m (100 ft) into the ground, making it one of India’s deepest and largest step-wells.
Chand Baori has served as a filming location for several movies, including Bhoomi, The Fall, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, The Dark Knight Rises, and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
- Harshat Mata Temple - Located next to the stunning Abhaneri Stepwell, this remarkable temple is also worth visiting.
- Bhangarh Fort - Tours to Bhangarh Fort, situated on the border of the Sariska Reserve in the Aravali range of hills in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, are available. The nearest village is Gola ka Baas. The fort is positioned at the base of the hills on sloping terrain. The ruins of the King’s palace are on the lower slope, surrounded by trees, with a natural stream flowing into the pond within the palace grounds.
The fort is 235 kilometers (146 mi) from Delhi and 90 km from Jaipur. The last 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) leading to the fort’s entrance is an unpaved road. The fort is 20 miles (32 km) from Thana Ghazi.

Nice tour - Smooth and safe driving to Chandbaori Stepwell & Bhangarh far from center of Jaipur with reasonable price. I fully recommend this tour to all visitors to Jaipur.

Memorable of the beaten path of the ‘beyond Jaipur’ tour - What a memorable trip enabled by Namaste trios and our proud and passionate Rajasthani son of the soil driver Jai - we had more than a delightful experience visiting the engineering marvel at Chand Baori and the archeological historic ruins of once a thriving city of bhangad while enjoying the passionate commentary and guidance of our driver Jai

Excellent - We had an excellent experience with the cab service during our day trip in Rajasthan. Ashish was incredibly accommodating and ensured a safe and smooth journey as he drove us around the region. His professionalism and courtesy added to the overall comfort of the trip. Highly recommended!

Memorable Day! - Kishor our driver arrived promptly at our hotel with a smiling face and a comfortable car with excellent AC with a variety of snacks and water for our drive. He was friendly and we enjoyed a nice chat on the way to Chand Baori stepwell. We were given a local knowledgeable guide who gave us the history of the stepwell and a local temple and plenty of time to view this amazing place. Our next stop was Bhangarh Fort which was really beautiful and more majestic than we had thought. Ruins, old temples, and banyan trees were set against the mountains. We had a great time exploring. The two sites were a little out of the way but I am so grateful that we got to experience this great tour

Great experience - Chand Baori is an amazing place, one must-see. And Bhangarh Fort is also a very interesting place to visit.
The trip was really nice and my driver, Kishore, was excellent, being very thoughtful and gave a very responsive service.

Chand Baori stepped well and Fort - What a wonderful day. My chauffeur Sherma did a wonderful job of driving and explaining the scenery along the way. His driving skills are excellent. He always made sure I was comfortable and had water. We had a great together. I don’t believe you can visit Jaipur and not visit these two sites. I highly recommend this tour.

Don't miss these sights when you go to Amber Fort - We requested our driver (cab we had hired to take us to Amber Fort and return to our hotel) also take us to the stepwell. There is no entrance fee and it is really worth viewing. We had seen it on a documentary and wanted to make sure we saw it in person when we had the chance. It really is quite spectacular to look at. It was a part of Bhangarh Fort and it was extremely interesting how it was placed in the fort. The ruins of the Bhangarh Fort were an added bonus for us as we hadn't known much about them. There is no charge and depending on your interest, you can spend as little as a half an hour here or you could spend the day. The ruins were quite fascinating.
I think these ruins are not well advertised because the drive is quite a chaotic one and there isn't the well developed parking and infrastructure for tourists like exists at Amber Fort. I'm quite sure any cab driver will take you and wait for you at a very reasonable fee and you can explore on your own.

I had an amazing time on this tour. It... - <p>I had an amazing time on this tour. It was perfectly designed for us. We got an amazing driver who made us feel safe the whole time this is a difficult thing to do in Indian traffic, but our driver managed it superbly. Water was provided, we were offered lots of options to stop at places by the roadside to take pictures. You will spend a while in the car getting to these places as they are quite tucked away, this made the step well and fort feel like it was our own private playground! The drive itself goes through some very interesting countryside, villages and temples. The step well itself is out of this world, its like an Escher painting, beautiful. There is a temple ruin directly next to it with some amazing carvings. The fort is eerie, so vast, so historical, lots of monkeys and other animals to spot too. We spotted an amazing temple literally by the roadside, and you can ask your driver if they are willing to stop which Im sure they wont mind, its called Giriraj Dhahran Mandir in Dausa google it, its AMAZING! Even if you dont stop there the Stepwell and fort are def worth it!</p>

Interesting sights, but guides were unprofessional - The sights (Chand Baori and Bangarh fortress) were very interesting to visit, but the guides had nothing to say.
The guide on the first location (Chand Baori) didn't tell me anything about the site, and spent most of his time idle on his cell phone. At least I could roam the site freely and take pictures, but it felt odd. I literally couldn't get a single sentence about the site from him.
The guide on the second location (Bangarh fortress) was late, then spent a couple minutes rambling in extremely broken english about some kind of local legend involving the site, and that was it.
The driver was very polite and professional though, and I gave him a very good tip.
