To reach the temple, the tourists need to travel through Surajpol Bazaar and they need to take the intertwined path of 200 metre on the hill to reach the temple. From the Galta temple complex, the Surya Temple is connected through rock climbing route. It takes 15 minutes to reach the Sun temple and the Galta Ji temple (or monkey temple) should be visited first.

The temple does not charge any entry fee but it accepts donation. It takes 60 minutes to visit the sun temple which also includes the 15 minutes walking up to the temple. Surya Mandir or Sun Temple is also the ideal name for this place as the whole city is bathed with shining sun right from the sunrise to sunset.

This temple is built by Diwan Kriparam and is ideal for those who believe in the spiritual power of the temple. It is also to be noted that this is the only temple of its kind that is available in this part of India.
