I have seen a few step wells in the middle east but none compare to Abhaneri. It is grand by scale and beauty. The carvings and artistic execution of steps and landings are very special indeed. It is a wonder to behold. If anyone is ever in the Varanasi area, make this a 'must see' on your list.

Another place out of the touristic circuit, but that you must see, because is a very rare place. You can take a student guide outside the temple to know the story.

You will love the architecture of this Step well at Abhaneri. Just 1.5 hours drive from jaipur central towards Agra. A good to see place once during your trip to Jaipur .

This is certainly worth the effort visiting. It is located in a small village beside an old temple. While a lot of work needs to be done to make it more tourist friendly, the character of the place is wonderful. Though the water is no longer useable, it gives an insight into the past.

Unique. You'll never ever see anything else like it. It is not that far off the Agra/Jaipur road. Go if you have the chance!

Step wells were sources of water and, sometimes centers of theater and other performing arts. If you go at some time other than high noon, the geometric shadows on the walls of the well will keep your camera busy for a good while. Well worth the stop! Look for the public water pump just up the road and hope you... More

It is an amazing place and definitely worth the travel to see. It is something you will never see anything like it again.

i was at this village with a friend from russia.. It was crazy that when it was my very first time i didn't even know about this place and this friend knew .. and we stayed at a villager's home, really amazing experience

If you are near and have the opportunity to go there: do it! There is nothing in the world like this. Only in India
