If you are roaming at Doodh Talai then you are going to experience many exciting places here. First of all you can visit at Doodh Talai Garden with you family, here you can let your children play at various slides and Jhulas.
After you finished enjoying there, just above the Doodh Talai, you can go to Karni Mata Temple through steps. This temple has a nearby restaurant also where you can hang out and have a beautiful view of sunset.
Or there is other option. From Doodh Talai you can go to Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Park and chill there for a while. You can enjoy musical fountain here in evening. Now from the exit gate of this park opt for the Ropeway till Karni Mata Temple. It is also a very nice experience in itself. And from Karni Mata go to Doodh Talai garden.
