Six kilometres from the city, on Agra Rd via the Ghat Gate, are a pair of formal gardens that are enjoyable to wander around and take in a breath of fresh air. The first, grand formal terraced gardens , with fountains and statuary, were built in the 18th century for Maharaja Jai Singh’s second wife. They’re overlooked by the Sisodia Rani Palace , whose outer walls are decorated with murals depicting hunting scenes and the Krishna legend.
The second park of similar formal gardens, Vidyadharji-ka-Bagh , is nearby but currently closed to the public. Regular local buses leave from Ghat Gate for the Sisodia Rani Palace (₹10). An autorickshaw will cost around ₹300 return from the city centre to visit both.
