Best Time for a Rajasthan Desert Holiday



Winter, roughly October to March, is the most comfortable time for camel safaris and camp stays. Summers are very hot, so most travellers avoid midday sightseeing then. If you are planning a year-end trip, see our Rajasthan New Year heritage tour guide.



Practical Tips for a Desert Camp Stay




  1. Carry warm layers. Desert nights can be cold even after a warm day.

  2. Wear comfortable, light clothing for the day and closed shoes for walking on sand.

  3. Use sunscreen, sunglasses and a scarf for sun and dust.

  4. Keep a small torch and power bank. Camp electricity and charging points can be limited.

  5. Confirm camp type. Camps range from basic to premium, so check what your package includes.

  6. Respect the environment. Avoid littering and follow your guide's instructions during safaris.



Is a Desert Holiday Suitable for Families?



Yes, especially for children old enough to enjoy a long drive. Our Rajasthan holiday with kids guide explains how to pace a family trip.
