When to plan your Jodhpur trip
Jodhpur is a year-round destination — the season only changes your timings.

The best time to visit Jodhpur — pleasant days and cool evenings, perfect for forts and markets.
July to September
Monsoon months bring occasional rain and greener views around the hills.
April to June
Summer is hot — plan sightseeing early in the morning and keep midday trips short.
