Luxury Holidays in Rajasthan

Landlocked and separated from the coast by the neighbouring state of Gujarat, the climate of Rajasthan is predominately dry for most of the year with low levels of humidity punctuated by occasional bursts of rainfall during the monsoon season. The period between the months of October and March is considered to be the best time to visit Rajasthan with days generally sunny and rarely exceeding 30°C but nights cooler with temperatures dropping once the sun sets. A largely desert state, from April onwards to the breaking of the monsoon in June temperatures peak with it not unknown for them to reach 45°C in the hottest part of the day. Although excursions at this time of year are arranged to avoid the midday heat, these months are the ideal time for wildlife viewing with animals, including tiger, more easily seen as they come out in search of water. The monsoon brings heavy, yet sporadic, rainfall with short sharp showers that also have the benefit of lowering temperatures. Despite the rain, this is an excellent time of year to visit Rajasthan with fewer tourists, competitive prices and lusher landscapes.
