What is the best time to visit Jodhpur?

The best time to visit Jodhpur is from November to February. During these months, Jodhpur experiences favorable weather conditions, with temperatures ranging from a chilly 7°C to a pleasant 25°C. This period is ideal for exploring the city's magnificent forts, palaces, and vibrant markets. The winter season offers clear skies and cool air, making outdoor activities and sightseeing comfortable and enjoyable.

These months are ideal for avoiding peak season crowds while enjoying favorable weather. October marks the start of cooler weather, and March signifies the end of winter, making it perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Accommodation and tour prices are generally lower, offering good value for travelers.

Off-season (April to September) The off-season in Jodhpur, from April to September, is marked by extreme heat, with temperatures soaring above 40°C, making outdoor activities uncomfortable. The scorching heat from April to June and the humid monsoon season from July to September are not conducive to pleasant travel. Although accommodation prices are lowest during this period, the weather conditions are challenging for tourists.

More about Best Time to Travel to Jodhpur

Jodhpur in Winter (November - February)

These are the best months to visit Jodhpur as the weather is pleasant, and you can visit the monuments easily without any discomfort. It might get very cold during the night (specially mid Dec to mid Jan) but the day time weather is quite pleasant for sightseeing.

Jodhpur in Summer (April - September)

Jodhpur is quite close to the edge of the Thar desert and is in an arid area, hence it has a long, dry and hot summer. These months are best avoided since it gets insanely hot during the day (the temperature could be as hot as 50 degrees during the morning, with little respite at night).
