Ranakpur, Rajasthan

Ranakpur
Ranakpur is two hour drive from Udaipur, on the way to Jodhpur. Ranakpur is a great place if you want get away from the crowd and pollution of the bigger cities of Rajasthan.



Jain temple
The Jain temple in Ranakpur is deep inside a valley surrounded by Aravalli hills. It was built in 1439 and is supported by 1440 individally carved pillars.







We stopped for a snack at Shilpi restaurant inside RTDC (Rajasthan tourism development corporation) hotel, which is close to the Jain temple. There are several hotels close to the Jain temple.
