Iswari Minar Swarga Sal

A minaret with great views of Jaipur. There is an alternative to the minaret that's open 24/7. Just across the other side of the road (Chandpol Bazaar) from the minaret is a shopping complex with stairs up to a rooftop area where you can get basically the same view as from the minaret. To get there, go through the arched gateway almost opposite the minaret, then as soon as you get to the courtyard, look to the left for a metal spiral staircase and keep climbing until you reach the roof, walk around the corridor to the next set of stair and go up another floor until you know you can't go any higher.
