My first though seeing this is, that would be a sick Tony Hawk Pro Skater level.

Looks like the archaeological sites in NMS

Needs more random metal balls and monoliths teaching you how to say "Korvax" in Korvax.

Awesome architecture

There were originally five of these built in different cities colloquially called Jantar Mantar [four survive to this day]. The most famous of them arguably lies in the western city of Jaipur, India attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. This one is a small location lying sandwiched across 'ghats' along the riverside.
