Best destinations by month
November through February provides the broadest conditions for walking, the exposed fort and the desert rock park. Nights can be cool, while year-end holidays and winter weekends bring the strongest demand.
March warms quickly but can still work with early starts. Holi and other movable dates change traffic and opening patterns, so check the current calendar.
April through June is the hardest period. IMD's 1981–2010 normals put mean daily maxima at 38.7°C in April, 41.2°C in May and 40.1°C in June. Shift outdoor time to morning and evening.
July through September remains hot and becomes more humid. Most normal annual rain falls in these months, especially July and August, but rainfall is variable and does not remove heat risk.
October is a warm, drier transition. Marwar Festival often falls in September or October according to the lunar calendar; confirm the current state programme.
