Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace
A hilltop palace built to watch the monsoon clouds come in.

A short hill climb over Badi Lake, the sunrise spot locals drive out for.
Badi Lake, also called Jiyan Sagar, was built by Maharana Raj Singh I in the 17th century. Above it, the rocky Bahubali Hills give a wide view of the lake and the Aravallis.
The climb is fifteen to twenty minutes on a rough trail; the view at first light is worth the early start.
