Sunset Point & Machla Magra

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:02:47

The small Sunset Point Park has dazzling views over Lake Pichola, Jagmandir Island and off toward the Sajjan Garh (Monsoon Palace). It’s about 1.5km south from the Rangniwas Palace Hotel on Lake Palace Rd. Opposite the park is the lower station of the Ropeway , a cable car which swings over to Machla Magra hill where the views are even more expansive. Boat trips on the lake are available, a cheaper alternative to those offered in the City Palace complex.

Atop Machla Magra are a Karni Mata Temple and the sparse remains of the Eklingarh Fort. You can also walk up by a zigzag path from the park on the east side of pretty Dudh Talai lake, which you pass en route to Sunset Point.
