点评:The drive to this temple is an experience in and of itself. It’s very nice and a pretty drive. Many cows on the roads as well. It’s some 20 minutes outside of Jaipur. We went early and beat the heat as well as the tour bus that arrived when we were leaving.
The place is in shambles. They charge 100 rupees per person plus 150 rupees per camera fee. That includes cell phones! We only took one camera and did not use our phones. There is no charge for locals. The guys at the ticket area said the ticket man is taking a shower and they cannot give us any tickets. We could collect those when we came back. We paid and hoped for the best. No one stopped us to see our tickets except when we wanted to enter the dirty algae filled pond area. When we told the guard there the story, he called to the front and got confirmation that we had paid. There is a bathing area where many kids and adults were “swimming”. It was quite noisy and fun to see people having fun. We did not go inside any of the temples, although we were offered many times by different holy men. We honestly did not want to take our shoes off in that dirty area, nor be asked for donations. There are a few old structures to photograph.
The best part of this monkey temple were the monkeys. There were many babies who were doing backflips and goofing off and playing together. There were a couple who had probably stolen or maybe were given some scarves and they were going nuts with them and kept putting them on their heads. We could have watched all these monkeys all day.
It’s a real shame that this place is so filthy. Being animal lovers, it was still worth it to see the cute silly monkeys. Since it’s not a safari, the low rating is for the filth. The monkeys made it worth 3 stars.
翻译:开车去这个寺庙本身就是一种体验。非常不错,路途也很美。路上也有很多牛。它距离斋浦尔约 20 分钟路程。我们早早就去了,避开了炎热的天气,也避开了我们离开时到达的旅游巴士。
这个地方乱糟糟的。他们收取每人 100 卢比的费用,外加每台相机 150 卢比的费用。这包括手机!我们只带了一台相机,没有使用手机。当地人是免费的。售票处的人说售票员正在洗澡,他们不能给我们任何门票。我们可以回来时去取。我们付了钱,希望一切顺利。除了我们想进入脏兮兮的充满藻类的池塘区域时,没有人拦住我们看票。当我们告诉那里的警卫这个故事时,他打电话到前面确认我们已经付了钱。那里有一个沐浴区,很多孩子和大人都在“游泳”。看到人们玩得开心,很吵,很有趣。我们没有进入任何寺庙,尽管不同的圣人多次邀请我们进去。我们真的不想在那个肮脏的地方脱鞋,也不想被要求捐款。这里有几座古老的建筑可以拍照。
这座猴庙最好的部分是猴子。有很多小猴子在做后空翻,一起嬉戏玩耍。有一对夫妇可能偷了围巾,或者可能是别人给了他们一些围巾,他们疯狂地把围巾戴在头上。我们可以整天看着这些猴子。
这个地方太脏了,真是太可惜了。作为动物爱好者,看到这些可爱傻乎乎的猴子还是值得的。因为这不是野生动物园,所以评分低是因为肮脏。猴子让它值3颗星。
