Best time to visit Rajasthan, month by month
Why October to March is peak season, and when summer or monsoon trips can still work.
Rajasthan is a winter destination for most travellers, but each season has its own appeal.
October to March
Pleasant days and cool nights — ideal for forts, cities and desert camps. Book early around Diwali, Christmas and New Year.
April to June
Very hot across the state. If you travel now, sightsee early morning and late evening.
July to September
Monsoon brings greenery to Udaipur and fewer crowds, with humid days.
