Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to visit Rajasthan?

October to March. November to February is the sweet spot — daytime around 22–27°C, cold desert nights. April to June routinely crosses 45°C in Jaisalmer and Bikaner, which makes fort sightseeing genuinely unpleasant.

How much time does the whole state need?

Ten days for the four cities done properly — Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer. Seven days works if you drop one. Anything shorter and you are spending the trip in the car; that is why the shorter packages here pick two cities, not four.

Is the desert camp at Sam worth it?

Yes, if you pick the right one. The dunes at Sam get crowded with day-trippers and loud camps; we book the quieter Khuri side or a camp set back from the main dune, with attached bathrooms and proper beds rather than a tent on sand.

Are the forts and palaces wheelchair accessible?

Mostly not. Amer, Mehrangarh and Jaisalmer Fort are steep, cobbled and stepped. City Palace Udaipur has a lift on part of the route. Tell us at booking and we will plan around what is realistic rather than promising access that is not there.

What should I actually buy, and where?

Blue pottery and block prints in Jaipur, bandhani and mojris in Jodhpur, miniature painting in Udaipur, camel leather in Bikaner. Our drivers are not paid commission by shops, so nobody will steer you into an emporium you did not ask for.
