Rajasthan is known as the desert state. It is largely hot and dry throughout the year, making it a great destination to get away from European winters.
Summer in Rajasthan extends from April to June. It is the hottest season, with temperatures ranging from 32 degrees C to 45 degree C, so not ideal for travel, although early April is a good time to get cheaper rates if you dont mind the temperature in the high 30s. In western Rajasthan the temperature may reach at high as 45 degrees C, particularly in May and June so we'd suggest avoiding Jaisalmer and the Thar Desert at this time.
The second season - technically the "Monsoon" (although in reality Rajasthan never receives much rainfall) extends from July to September. The temperature drops slightly, and humidity increases. 90% of the rain Rajasthan can expect occurs during this period. Lakes and rivers will be higher from mountain run-off and flowers and grasses come to life, bringing added color to the landscape.
The Post-monsoon period is from October to November. The average maximum temperature is 33 degree C to 38 degree C, and the minimum is between 18 degree C and 20 degree C. The official "season" for hotels in Rajasthan starts in October. It’s a great time to travel - warm and sunny during and perfect for exploring and relaxing.
The fourth season is "winter", and runs from December to March. With day time temperatures still in the high 20's during the day this a very popular time to travel. Hotels are at the their busiest over the Christmas and new year period. Be aware though that December and January can have very cool mornings and evening and we suggest taking some warm clothing. While temperatures in the desert areas are always hot in the daytime, they become some of the coolest areas of the state once the sun goes down. It’s also fairly standard to expect some fog in the major cities of Northern Rajstasthan and Delhi in December and January.
Itinerary
Delhi, Delhi and the North, India
The first stop on your family adventure is the energetic, colorful city of Delhi. After a long flight, you’ll be whisked to the stunning Imperial, a spacious hotel situated in the heart of the city and your family’s home for the next 2 nights. We’ve handpicked some of our favorite experiences to inject your stay with endless fun on every corner you turn.

Agra, India
Leaving the bubbling city of Delhi behind you, it’s time to hop on the Shatabdi Express for a two-hour train ride south to spellbinding city of Agra, home to the celebrated Taj Mahal. Traveling by train is integral to any trip in India. Energetic and full of life, it’s an exhilarating experience in itself and an enjoyable way for any family to voyage around the country.

The history is hypnotising, and your family’s expert guide will be on hand to bring it all to life. In the evening, splash around in the pool, relax on the terrace and indulge in the hotel’s scrumptious cuisine before getting a good night’s rest in preparation for tomorrow’s early start.

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
The next leg of your exciting family exploration is a scenic two-hour drive through rural Rajasthan to the stunning city of Jaipur. The transfer is a memorable experience in itself.
