Winter (October to March)
For the majority of travellers, winter (September to March) emerges as the undisputed champion for a trip to Udaipur. Imagine this: crisp mornings giving way to days bathed in warm sunshine, and evenings turning pleasantly cool. Temperatures range from a delightful 11°C to a comfortable 28°C, making sightseeing an absolute pleasure. Explore the city's historical sites, vibrant markets, and stunning lakes without breaking a sweat. Capture picture-perfect moments with crystal-clear skies and vibrant sunsets. Take a boat ride on Lake Pichola, admiring the City Palace and Jag Mandir from a unique perspective. If you’re planning on witnessing the vibrant Udaipur Shilpgram Crafts Mela, December is the best month to visit Udaipur. The 10-day long festival is a treasure trove of Rajasthani art and culture. However, expect larger crowds at popular attractions and potentially higher prices on accommodation and travel.
Monsoon (July to September)
From July to September, Udaipur experiences the monsoon season, which offers a distinctive ambience. Although it may be perceived as the off-season by some, it appeals to those desiring a serene getaway. Moderate rainfall rejuvenates the typically dry landscapes, turning them into lush green vistas. The temperature remains agreeable, with highs ranging from 25°C to 35°C. Enjoy a quieter experience with fewer crowds and potentially lower accommodation rates compared to the peak season. However, unpredictable rainfall might limit outdoor activities and might not be ideal for water-based activities like boat rides.
Summer (April to June)
During the summer months of April to June, Udaipur experiences high temperatures, often reaching up to 40°C. It's advisable to begin sightseeing early in the day to avoid the intense midday heat. Nonetheless, for those who can tolerate the warmth, this period offers a distinct perspective of the city. Accommodation prices typically decrease during this time, making this the best season to visit Udaipur for those on a budget. The hot weather might be ideal for some adventure activities like zip-lining or a challenging desert safari (outside the city limits). Cool off and relax by the pool at Chunda Shikar Oudi, featuring stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.
