It was our 2nd day of Ajmer, we decided to explore Adhai din ka Jhonpra. Which is the historical Mosque in the city of Ajmer Rajasthan. It is also one of the oldest Mosque in India and surviving Monument.

It is located at a distance of just 450 Meter from Dargah. So, we decided to go without any vehicle, there is a lot of shops. We were going there to have a look of those shop. So when we will come back to buy anything we would remember. After 2 mins of walk we reached there and stayed sometimes to see everything as we were excited to see those walls and so on.

Why it named as Adhai din ka Jhonpra, The reason is it was establish only in “2½” days. Founded by Qutub-ud-Din-Aibak on the order of Mohammad Ghori in 1192.

Most of the people who visits Dargah and when they are about to left from Dargah and have time so they must visit Adhai din ka Jhonpra as I already mentioned it is just 450 Meter away from Dargah. After spending sometimes we left and headed to the Ana Sagar Lake.

Must take your camera to get some gorgeous photos, The Lake was surrounded by beautiful park Daulat Bagh Garden and pavilions.

Most of the families visit there for picknick and spend time. just sit back and enjoy the sunset, you can also feed food to fishes of the lake like popcorn and other thing.

Best thing in Ana Sagar lake is you can visit island from the boat. Which is located mid of the lake & it’s costing of 160 INR per person. The best time to visit from October to March when the water level is full because in the summer season lake dries up.

According to historian, When Hazrat Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz Moinuddin Chishti arrived in Ajmer with some of his followers. They restricted to use the water of Ana Sagar, Then he sent one of his followers with the bowl & when he arrived ana sagar all the water of lake came into the bowl sent by Hazrat Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz Moinuddin Chishti and lake dried then people requested to return the water so he returned.

Hiking this fort was one of the best experience in Ajmer it took around 3 hours to reach to the top of the Taragrah Fort at !0 AM, as we started our trek early morning.

But, If you don’t want to trek you can simply hire a vehicle from Adhai din ka Jhonpra it cost around 500 INR per person. While trekking we saw a lot of other people also trekking, a lot of shops.
