Frequently Asked Questions

October to March is ideal β€” pleasant daytime temperatures (20–28Β°C) and cool evenings perfect for desert camping. Avoid April–June (extreme heat, 45Β°C+) and July–September (monsoon). The Pushkar Camel Fair (November) and Jaipur Literature Festival (January) are wonderful add-ons.
