Rajasthan is one of the best places to visit in India, and with good reason too!

And, of course, who can forget the majestic Thar desert?
People who want to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature, or people seeking thrill and adventure: Rajasthan will definitely not disappoint you.
The ideal time to visit Rajasthan is during the months of October to March. Compared to the sweltering heat in the summer, these months are accompanied by a slight chill in the air. Daytime temperatures (about 30° C) make travel significantly easier. The nights can go as low as 13° C – cool, but not unbearably cold.
