Most Popular Rajasthan Tour Packages

Some cities on the Rajasthan tour attract visitors from all over the world. Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Jaisalmer witness thousands of tourists every week. The best tour of Rajasthan must include the cuisine, safari, and festival experience. Here is a selection of Rajasthan tour packages, most suitable for international visitors.

Best Time to Visit Rajasthan for Trip


Most parts of Rajasthan are splendid throughout the year. But winter and monsoon is the best time to visit Rajasthan. The summers here get a bit too hot, especially during the day. The colder weather allows you to enjoy full Rajasthan tour packages. Yet, some notable sites see visitors in the summer as well. Let us take a look at the seasons and why they attract tourists.


Rajasthan in winter (October to March)

As we mentioned above, the best time for the Rajasthan tour is in winter. It is a perfect opportunity to explore the palaces, forts, temples, deserts, and safari. Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, and Jaisalmer have good tourist sites for outdoor activities.

The temperature during the day is around 15-25 degrees Celsius (59-77 degrees Fahrenheit). You will love camel rides in the desert without getting sweaty. The winter nights are chill. The temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit).


The winters make the landscapes pleasing and the state hosts a lot of fairs and festivals. The Rajasthan International Folk Festival takes place in October. Then you have the world-famous Pushkar Camel Fair in October-November. The Jaipur Literature Festival attracts literature enthusiasts from within and outside the country. To cover these festivals, our affordable Rajasthan tour packages are the best fit.


Rajasthan in monsoon (July to September)


Monsoon in Rajasthan brings a unique venture for visitors. The weather is cooler and you see some greenery on the otherwise arid land. The fragrance of wet earth and the shining palaces and forts rejuvenate the tour.


We recommend visiting Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Pushkar in the monsoon. Like the rest of India, lakes in these cities come alive during this season. Sometimes the rain is a bit too much and some outdoor activities can get canceled. But if you plan according to the weather, it can be the best tour of Rajasthan.


Rajasthan in summer (April to June)


Rajasthan tour in the summer can be a little challenging. More than half of Rajasthan is desert. The scorching sun makes the temperature go up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). Outdoor activities during the day are generally avoided. However, the early mornings and nights do bring calming winds.


If you get a chance to visit Rajasthan in the summer, here are a few things to consider:

  • Mount Abu, Kumbhalgarh, or Ranakpur have hilly areas and great sights to look out for.

  • Most palaces, museums, and art galleries have cooler interiors. Some even have air conditioning to keep you cool.

  • Visit National parks and Wildlife sanctuaries.

  • April and May are cooler than June.

  • Local beverages such as buttermilk (lassi), lemonade (nimbu pani), and sugarcane juice.
