HERE'S WHY KERALA TOUR PACKAGES COUPLES IS A GOOD OPTION

​

Though visitors come to Rajasthan during every season, the winter months of November through February are the ideal times to go because of the moderate temperatures. Temperature variations between day and night can be particularly severe in December and January.

 

The temperature can drop to 0°C and below. Winter festivals, which take place from November to March, are primarily organized as tourism destinations, attracting tourists worldwide.

 

The temperature varies from place to place depending on the season and the geography. It would help if you listed your preferences to choose the ideal time to visit Rajasthan. With temperatures exceeding 48 degrees, summer is always oppressively hot. 

 

But, with rain showers that transform the surrounding scenery, monsoons are far more lovely than summers. Winter arrives after the monsoon season. Rajasthan is most frequently visited during winter due to the pleasant weather.
