Best Time for the Rajasthan & the Golden Triangle
Sweet spot: January, February, March — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
The season: 25–30°C days, festival calendar in full swing (Diwali, Pushkar Camel Fair) — book palace stays ahead.
45°C pre-monsoon heat — this route is genuinely punishing; if you must, do dawn forts and pool afternoons.
