Abhaneri








A small village several hours from Jaipur, this place was amazing and one of our favorite places. We were the only visitors and the guide was very friendly, spoke English and was very knowledgeable. Chand Baori is a step well built over 1000 years ago. Step wells were built for gathering water and this one is 11 stories deep. There are remnants of a temple next to it and there are huge chunks of the old pillars from the original temple laying about everywhere.
