Iconic Places to Visit on the Jaipur Bhangarh & Abhaneri Day Tour
Chand Baori Stepwell, Abhaneri
Built in the 8th–9th century by Raja Chanda of the Nikumbha dynasty, Chand Baori is one of the deepest and most visually stunning stepwells in all of India. Its 3,500 narrow steps descend 30 metres in perfect geometric symmetry across 13 storeys, creating a dizzying optical illusion when viewed from above. The stepwell was built to harvest and store rainwater, and the cool air at its base remains a remarkable feat of ancient engineering. Featured in films such as The Dark Knight Rises and The Fall, Chand Baori has become a globally recognised architectural icon and an unmissable stop on any Rajasthan itinerary.
Harshat Mata Temple, Abhaneri
Adjacent to Chand Baori stands the Harshat Mata Temple, dedicated to the goddess of joy and happiness. Originally constructed in the 9th century, the temple was partially destroyed by Mahmud of Ghazni and later partially rebuilt. Today, its beautifully carved pillars, doorways, and scattered sculptures — many displayed in a small on-site museum — offer a vivid window into the artistic mastery of early Rajasthani craftsmen. The temple and stepwell together make Abhaneri one of the most rewarding heritage stops in the region.
Bhangarh Fort
Declared by the Archaeological Survey of India as one of the most haunted places in the country, Bhangarh Fort was built in 1573 by Raja Bhagwant Das for his son Madho Singh. The fort and surrounding town were abandoned in the 17th century under mysterious circumstances, and local legend attributes the desertion to a curse cast by a sorcerer. Entry is officially prohibited after sunset. Despite — or because of — its eerie reputation, the fort's sprawling ruins, overgrown temples, and dramatic hillside setting make it a hauntingly beautiful and historically rich destination that history lovers and thrill-seekers alike find unforgettable.

What Our Guests Say
"Chand Baori Stepwell is one of the largest stepwells in India and worth a side trip between Jaipur and Agra. I have never seen anything like it in my world travels. It was designed to catch rainwater. Next to it is the Hindu Temple, Harshat Mata Temple, with many magnificent stone carvings. My driver took me to this stunning place and I will never forget this trip."
"We hired a car and driver for our Jaipur Bhangarh and Abhaneri Tour from Jaipur Taxi Tour Service. Really satisfied with their service. The car was in good condition and driver Faruk was polite, professional, and an awesome guide. We really recommend Jaipur Taxi and Tours for any tour starting from Jaipur."
"One of the oldest stepwells in India. I had never heard of a stepwell before — I was really surprised when I saw it. The architecture is amazing and the steps go down 100 feet. Just looking at it makes you wonder about the construction and how it was made. Definitely one of the more interesting things we saw on our trip to Rajasthan. Worth a stop!"
