The season for Rajasthan
Between November and February, days are warm and clear and the desert nights are cold. It is the only comfortable time for a long Rajasthan circuit, so it is also the busiest.
Winter is also wedding season in the region, which can make heritage hotels hard to get.
Festivals worth planning around
| Event | Usual timing | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Pushkar Camel Fair | Around November, with the full moon | Pushkar |
| Jaipur Literature Festival | January | Jaipur |
| Bikaner Camel Festival | January | Bikaner |
| Jaisalmer Desert Festival | February | Jaisalmer |
Tips
- Book heritage hotels months ahead, particularly in December and January.
- Pack warm clothing for desert nights.
- Do not combine too many cities.
- Allow for fog on some northern routes.
