Best Time to Visit in Rajasthan

The weather in Rajasthan can be brutal due to the scorching heat, especially during summer. However, the desert breeze can be very charming for your Rajasthan short tour during winter. 

Ideally, the best time to visit Rajasthan is during the winter months, anytime from November to February. You can enjoy the glory of the pink city at weekend places near Jaipur or take a glamorous trip bound the streets to visit local markets in other Rajasthan nearby places. You can procure a lot of cool items with local handicraft designs and unique pieces of upholstery, tapestry, and clothing during your Rajasthan short tour. 

This is not to say that you cannot visit Rajasthan during the summer, but you'll have to take precautionary measures to beat the heat. This would be a good time to lather on some sunscreen lotion, hit the town to taste the fresh summer fruits and acquire a few pieces of traditional Rajasthani clothing for an immersive experience. 

How to reach Rajasthan?

As one of the border states of India, Rajasthan remains well connected to different parts of the country. Apart from sharing its borders with Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana, Rajasthan is connected to the rest of the country and the world by air travel, railways, and roadways. 

By Air: Regardless of where you're travelling, you will always find suitable transportation for your weekend getaways in Rajasthan. You can easily add travel plans to your SOTC packages for hassle-free options or book your flights through airports across various cities. Cities such as Udaipur, Jodhpur, etc., feature large domestic airports, and regular flights travel to various destinations in Mumbai, Delhi, etc. Large airline services such as Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, and others are always available. 

The city of Jaipur features an International Airport that connects the state of Rajasthan to foreign destinations such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Kuwait, and Singapore. Tourists from other countries can take connecting flights to these cities and direct flights to weekend places near Jaipur, including other parts of Rajasthan. Since the state is one of the largest dominions in the Indian subcontinent, travellers often choose to take intercity flights for quick trips. 

By Train: If you are not a fan of flying or prefer travelling on a budget, you can also opt for railways. Rajasthan is well connected to metro cities, namely Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, but that's not all. Several other cities fall on the railway routes connecting Rajasthan to nearby places. Palace on Wheels and Heritage on Wheels are two of the most luxurious railway plans that are often discussed on international forums. They provide glimpses of the glorious historical significance of different cities even before you reach your destination. 

By Road: Since Rajasthan is so well connected by roadways on all sides, public or private transportation by road is also a suitable option. The private Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation is public transportation run by the state and offers connectivity to a number of major cities. The roads of the state are well-maintained. Therefore, the journey can be quite relaxing. These options are also pocket-friendly, thus allowing you more budget to enjoy your weekend getaways in Rajasthan.
