Most of us know Rajasthan to be hot desert region kind of place. But what if we reveal this little secret and tell you that Rajasthan also receives moderate to heavy rains? This may sound astonishing that when rains fall in Rajasthan, some places are completely transformed. All these places are situated far away from the hot desert of Rajasthan. Dried-up lakes become full, the hills become greener, and there is crisp air all around. At such a time, the Rajasthan Tour Package gives you the best chance to visit these places. July and August are good months to visit Rajasthan to enjoy the monsoon rains.
Why visit Rajasthan in the monsoon rains
The reason why we urge you to visit Rajasthan in the rainy season is that you get a completely different perspective of Rajasthan. The monsoon is the time when rains shoo away the dust and heat. The Aravalli mountain range gets a new lease of life in the monsoon rains. The new-found greenery attracts birds and animals. As a tourist, you can also get wet by the rain when visiting places. We have designed some of our Best Rajasthan Tour Packages for you so that you can plan a visit during August. Some of the reasons why you should visit Rajasthan during monsoon are shown below.
- Nature gets greener: The barren earth of Rajasthan gets fresh showers during the monsoon. The Aravalli Hills become greener and more lush. Streams start to flow more frequently. Dams become full of water and lakes get a fresh amount of rain.
- Cool & Calm Climate: Because of the monsoon rains, the cool winds start to blow over Rajasthan. This, in turn, drives away the hot climate that we have come to associate with Rajasthan. This is the time when you can go on hill treks and short hikes to the forts.
- Heritage Beauty: Even heritage monuments look even more beautiful in the monsoon rains. Forts like Amer Fort, and Mehrangarh Fort get rid of dust and the walls get drenched in the rains looking fresher than ever. This is a good time to visit Hawa Mahal and other architectural marvels.
- Cultural festivals: The Teej Festival is celebrated during the monsoon season. You can view the full colors of Rajasthan during this time. Women do ‘shringaar’ and wear colorful garments and traditional jewelry. They sing joyful traditional Rajasthani songs and perform dances of various types in the streets of Rajasthan.
- Off-season tourism: Monsoon is also considered to be the off-season in Rajasthan. You will not encounter crowds of tourists at this time of the year. You can do sightseeing more freely and feel more relaxed in the absence of the hordes of tourists.
- Lakes: The best places to visit in Rajasthan during the rainy season are the lakes. They get full and as a result, overflow in magnificent cascades of waterfalls and streams. Lake Man Sagar in Jaipur and the lakes in Udaipur are best visited during the monsoon season. Boating is the best thing to do at such times if it is not prohibited at this time.
