Garadia Mahadev Temple

Mesmerizing experience. Located outside kota city about 3 km away from chhitod highway. The last 3 km are bumpy but still accessible by car or bike. Entry ticket of 150 per person and 350 for car(It's unjustified but maybe it's due for restricting entry).
Best season - after monsoon and cool winter months,take precaution during rain as the stones are slippery. Take your own food and water as there is nothing down there.
View is amazing (see pics and video). Don't take unnecessary risks near the cliff.

This is my favorite place. The experience here is very good for me and it is actually the abode of Shiv Shankar. This is a very beautiful place. You all can also come here with your family and enjoy nature.

The place is so cool. The nature of place is just wonderful. Anyone can fresh his mind by visiting this place .

Natural place with nice view, it’s inside the tiger reserve and you can walk around the area and gets a nice view of Chambal. Lots of birds and monkey . Good place to sit and feel the nature with nice view.
Since it’s inside the reserve area no shops or other facilities it’s just you and nature. The reserve area has entry fee. It was 147 per person and also 400 for the car.

Garadiya Mahadev is a serene and beautifully carved temple atop a hill, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Worth the journey for a spiritual and nature-filled experience.

NOTE: Stay alert from monkeys!

Best place near kota and bundi. Great place for a day trip. Awesome views.

You’ll be mesmerised by the panoramic view of river Chambal. The temple is beautiful too. According to one of the pandit ji’s we met here, the natural Shiv ling in this temple is over 1000 years old. This place is a real treasure..! 💖💖

Situated at an altitude of 500 feet, Garadia Mahadev Temple is one of the unique and magnificent tourist places to visit in Kota. Resting over the gorge through which the Chambal river passes, one can feel a divine connection by merely standing here.
There are rituals performed by the local priest who stays inside the temple till 5:30pm. This place is not recommended to be visited at late hours.
Gigantic cliffs lie on either sides of the gorge. The winds blowing seem to be chanting the Shiv stotras in your ears to arouse the feeling of devotion in you. Garadia Mahadev Temple lies on one of the cliffs. The rituals are performed by a local priest who generally stays in the shrine till around 5:30pm. Late nights are not recommended. The place is picture perfect like a painting made by God himself. You can actually realize the bliss of solitude by sitting here for some time. The place has served many as a spot for picnic. The largest tributary of Yamuna, river Chambal is known for being the abode of many water species. Sitting on cliff you may catch a glimpse of the crocodiles, turtles etc.
HOW TO REACH
National Highway number 76 runs from Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh to Pindwara in Rajasthan. The highway runs through Kota erstwhile Kotah in the state of Rajasthan. After travelling for 25km south west from Kota on NH 76, a road diverts left from the highway. The diversion leads through a desolate place with little or, nil habitation. Untouched by electricity and almost untrodden, the path leads to far away from the maddening crowd. Travelling further on this kaccha road while enjoying the roller coaster ride for about 3km, you will finally arrive at the Garadia Mahadev Temple. If ecstasy lies in the trip and not the destination alone, this road can fill you with enough thrills to cherish all lifelong.
To reach Garadia Mahadev Temple aim for Kota. It has a prosperous network of roadways. It is well connected to Delhi, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad by road. Kota junction railway station has numerous trains halting by. The nearest airport is at Jaipur.
So get going to the Chambal Ghaati to immerse in peace of nature and seek the blessings of Shiva.

A must visit place in Kota in monsoon season… 3H-4H hours trip with lots of fun… facilities are missing and it’s expensive but worthy if you enjoy under the waterfall…

Such a wonderful place you will surely fall in love with it, the peace you get here is incomparable also i visited here during rainy season so got to see the waterfall and beautiful river flowing. Must visit once here also the famous song Mann bharrya by B Praak is filmed here.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. I can't describe the beauty of this place ❣
Suggestion would be to visit in early morning or in monsoon.

They charge 170 per person and additional charges of car. We paid 1100 for 5 people and a car.
Overall a must visit place.

A great spot to spend your time with loved ones and your friends. But don't bring something to eat if you are coming on 2 wheeler as there are huge number of monkeys which will snatch food in a go. Bring food if you are on a 4 wheeler.

After taking some steps downwards you reach the main Bholenath Temple. Seek blessings of Lord Mahadev.

Please refer to the picture for charges of visit and vehicle etc which have been enclosed in the picture.

Note: Please bring cash as the forest department don't accept any kind of digital transactions.

Best time to come here is the monsoons. It is a single awesome sight that visitors come for. The Garadia Mahadev temple and the panoramic view of the Chambal is all that's there to see but it is totally worth it. It is only a Km walk from the main gate so no need to pay for the vehicle if it's not too hot.

All time favourite place, we are the lucky one to spot the slot bear in the morning time. Even i have taken hyena photo at early mornng when we went for a trekking towards jawahar sagar dam, this place is totally liftup to the wildlife and many of the wild animal lives nearby surrounded area, government need to promote tourism at this places and soon need to mentioned it as a wildlife sanctuary, mukundra hills need to come in action but before that government need to implant an policy to save the tigers as earlier 02 tigers died their bcoz of not taking care.

Great spot to spend 3-4 hours, specially in evening or when weather is good. There is natural beauty of rocks and ravines and waterfall.

Location is exactly where Google Maps tells you it will be. Entry fee is 105 rupee per adult, 40 per child, kids below 10 years free, and 345 for car.

Ticket is bit on high side gives absolutely lack of any amenities or tourist development. There is no drinking water or bathroom. Nothing to eat. Lots of monkeys so you better avoid taking any eatables.

Waterfall downstairs is great to spend an hour in but there are no changing facilities. Plan to carry extra pair of clothes though to enjoy the bath. Rest is just walking, sitting, and clicking pictures.

And yes, road off National Highway is pathetic to say the least.

It's bit sad because this could have been so much better. Ravine view restaurant, snacks and food counter, changing facilities, bathing clothes rental, rope way across ravine, boat ride, better road and parking, and so much more can be done to develop this as great tourist attraction.
