Important Notes for Rajasthan India Tours

Travel within Rajasthan often involves long road drives, so prepare for stretches of 4–6 hours between cities. Keep snacks, water, and chargers handy.
Weather varies across regions, with desert cities being extremely hot in summer and hill stations like Mount Abu remaining cool. Layered clothing helps.
Most monuments open between 9 AM and 5 PM, so starting early each day ensures you get the most out of your sightseeing.
Shoes need to be removed when entering temples or sacred areas, including Jain temples in Ranakpur and Dilwara. Carry socks if walking barefoot is uncomfortable.
Photography might be restricted or chargeable at certain heritage sites. Always check for signage or ask local guides before clicking photos.
Tipping is customary in India. Small tips to drivers, guides, and hotel staff are appreciated and reflect well on your gratitude.
Carry a valid ID (passport or Aadhaar for Indian nationals) during inter-city travels and hotel check-ins, as it is mandatory for bookings and security.
Alcohol may not be served in some areas, especially near religious sites or during specific state holidays. Check local rules beforehand.
Stay hydrated in the desert cities, especially Jaisalmer and Bikaner. Carry a reusable water bottle and avoid tap water.
Camel safaris in Sam Dunes can get chilly at night, even after hot desert days. Warm clothes are advisable for overnight camping.
ATM access may be limited in rural areas like Kalakho or Osian, so withdraw cash in major cities before heading out.
Pack comfortable walking shoes, especially for fort visits like Chittorgarh, Amber, and Ranthambore — they involve climbing and uneven paths.
Mosquito repellent and sunscreen are must-haves, especially during safaris or open desert stays.
Ranthambore Safari bookings fill up fast, particularly during peak wildlife season (Oct–Mar). Advance reservation is highly recommended.
Dress modestly when visiting temples, especially Jain temples where tight clothes and leather items may be restricted.
Shopping is enticing, but bargain smartly in local markets. Handicrafts, textiles, jewellery, and leather items are popular, but prices are often negotiable.
Rail and air connections to Delhi are well-established, making it easy to plan pre/post-tour activities or extensions.
Indian SIM cards are easily available, and internet connectivity is fair in most cities, though may fluctuate in remote areas.
Respect local customs and traditions, especially during cultural performances or village visits. Greetings with a “Namaste” always leaves a good impression.
It’s a good idea to get travel insurance, especially if you are combining this tour with international travel or other regions in India.

Best Time to Visit Rajasthan India Tours

The best time to visit 15 days Rajasthan India Tour is during the cooler months from October to March, when the desert sun softens and the climate becomes ideal for exploration. This period is also when Rajasthan is at its most festive, scenic, and welcoming — perfect for anyone seeking an immersive Rajasthan cultural experience.

October to March – The Ideal Season

If you are planning a 15 days Rajasthan India tour this is undoubtedly the most recommended time. Days are pleasantly warm, nights can be cool (especially in desert areas like Jaisalmer and Bikaner), and humidity is at its lowest. This is perfect for visiting monumental sites such as Amber Fort, Mehrangarh Fort, Udaipur’s City Palace, and Ranthambore National Park without exhaustion.

The Desert Festival in Jaisalmer (February) and Camel Festival in Bikaner (January) bring Rajasthan alive with vibrant folk dances, music, and traditional arts. If you love cultural tourism, this is a window you do not want to miss.

April to June – The Summer Heat

This season is generally not recommended for touring due to the intense desert heat, where temperatures can soar beyond 45°C in cities like Jodhpur and Jaipur. However, if you are keen on off-season travel deals and plan to visit only hill stations like Mount Abu, you may still enjoy a quieter, budget-friendly experience.

July to September – Monsoon Charm

Monsoons in Rajasthan are a mixed experience. While the rain brings a unique charm to places like Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh, and Bundi, desert areas may become muddy and inaccessible. This is a great time for photography, especially around lakes and forts surrounded by green landscapes. It is also when hotel rates are low, and crowds are fewer.

In short, October to March is the best season for Rajasthan India tours, especially if you want to explore the forts, palaces, lakes, wildlife parks, and cultural heritage under the best weather conditions. Whether you’re on a honeymoon, family vacation, or solo heritage exploration, the cooler months will make your trip more memorable and comfortable.
