Sightseeing
Winter (beginning in October and ending in March) is the ideal time to visit Rajasthan for sightseeing. During these months, Rajasthan has colder weather, with temperatures ranging from 2 to 33 degrees. Tourists may easily enjoy midday exploration of Rajasthan at this temperature.
Travelers visiting Rajasthan should make a point to see Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jaisalmer. For the most memorable sightseeing in Jaipur, be sure to visit Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal, and Hawa Mahal. Udaipur also has four lakes—Fateh Sagar, Lake Pichola, the City Palace, and the Jagdish Temple.
National park
The months of October through March are ideal for wildlife safaris in Rajasthan because of the favorable weather throughout this season. Daytime viewings of several animal species, such as migrating birds and tigers, are also possible. Among Rajasthan’s national parks, Ranthambore, Keoladeo, and Sariska Tiger Reserve stand head and shoulders above the others.
You should probably avoid going there during the summer or monsoon. Nearly all of the nation’s most visited national parks shut during the monsoon season. The summertime highs may reach 40 degrees, which is unbearable for a lot of visitors.
