Rajasthan — the land of forts, palaces, and golden sands — offers a different charm in every season. But when is the best time to visit Rajasthan? Whether you want to explore desert festivals, witness royal heritage, or enjoy cool desert nights, timing your trip right can make all the difference. Here’s a complete guide from My India Touring to help you plan your perfect Rajasthan vacation.
Winter (October – March): The Peak Tourist Season
Winter is undoubtedly the best time to visit Rajasthan. The weather is cool and pleasant, perfect for sightseeing, desert safaris, and festivals.
- Temperature: 8°C – 27°C
- Highlights: Jaipur Literature Festival, Pushkar Camel Fair, Desert Festival Jaisalmer
- Best For: Heritage tours, desert camping, fort visits
Travel Tip: Book your Rajasthan tour package early, as this is the busiest season with high demand for hotels and camps.
Summer (April – June): Offbeat & Budget-Friendly
Summer in Rajasthan can be intense, but it’s also when you can experience the royal state at its quietest — and cheapest.
- Temperature: 30°C – 45°C
- Highlights: Mount Abu (Rajasthan’s hill station), early morning fort tours, cultural photography
- Best For: Budget travelers, heritage hotels, peaceful getaways
Travel Tip: Plan sightseeing early morning or evening. Always carry sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water.
Monsoon (July – September): Lush & Less Crowded
Monsoon transforms Rajasthan into a surprisingly green and refreshing destination. While desert regions receive light rain, cities like Udaipur and Mount Abu turn scenic and romantic.
- Temperature: 23°C – 35°C
- Highlights: Teej Festival (Jaipur), lush landscapes of Udaipur, fewer tourists
