All Months
October through March gives you perfect weather — warm days, cool nights, and clear skies for those fort sunset shots. December and January can get surprisingly chilly after dark, so pack layers. February brings the perfect temperature balance.
Avoid April through September unless you enjoy feeling like you're inside an oven. Summer temperatures hit 45°C regularly, and the monsoon months bring humidity without much actual rain. The city basically shuts down during afternoon hours in peak summer.
Diwali season (October/November) makes the blue city extra magical with lights reflecting off those indigo walls. But book accommodation well ahead — prices triple and availability disappears. The Desert Festival in October offers cultural performances, though it feels a bit touristy compared to stumbling upon spontaneous celebrations in the streets.
