The largest state in India, Rajasthan's climate can be divided into four seasons i.e. summer, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter. Temperatures vary depending on the season and the region you plan to visit, but by and large you can visit the state any time of year and find something new to do each time.
Summer (April to June)
Summer months in Rajasthan are better avoided by travellers. The temperature goes up to 35-48°C on almost all days. Besides the burning heat, the state also experiences frequent dust storms all of which could leave travellers fatigued and ill. However, if you plan to visit Rajasthan in summers then hit places like Mount Abu, Kumbhalgarh or Ranakpur which stay relatively cooler. Summer months also have some interesting fairs and festivals like Mahaveerji Fair, Mount Abu Summer Festival, and Teej celebration. To enjoy the trip and avoid any health risks fill your bags with light cotton clothes, caps, scarves and lots of sunscreen. Stay hydrated and eat light but frequent meals.
