When it comes to a family-friendly holiday destination, there are few states in India as beautiful as Rajasthan. And what better city to kick-start your journey than Udaipur, the City of Lakes? Popularly known as the ‘Venice of the East’, Udaipur serves as an ideal gateway to India’s most vibrant and flamboyant state.

Packed with rich history and deep-rooted traditions that pervades every corner of the city, Udaipur is a destination that offers several attractions. From regal palaces and formidable forts to streets and marketplaces brimming with colour and energy, there is no dearth of wonders to explore here.

If you are looking for an exciting family getaway in this majestic city, the best time to visit Udaipur is winter. Udaipur weather is generally clement, but in winter the weather is highly favourable for sightseeing and outdoor activities and is welcoming to travellers of all ages. However, depending on your interests, here is a monthly breakup of Udaipur’s climatic conditions that will help you set your travel itineraries with ease for your family vacation.

When to Go

March to June

Summers in Udaipur lasts from March to late June. These months experience some of the hottest temperatures, ranging between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius. Although it can get extremely hot during the day, the evenings are relatively pleasant. This is the best time to enjoy a stroll around some of the many lakes here and bask in the sheer serenity of one’s surroundings.

Among them, Lake Pichola is a must visit. Located in the heart of the city, Lake Pichola forms the perfect backdrop to the spectacular City Palace and Lake Palace. The best way to experience the beauty of the lake is on a boat cruise. While you’re at the Palace, you can catch a glimpse of the golden orb of the sun setting in the mountains from the famous Ambrai Ghat.

While summer may not be the best time to visit Udaipur, it is the best time to partake in the cultural opulence of the locals. The traditional Mewar festival is often celebrated in the month of March. This festival is a great opportunity for travellers who wish to be regaled by the various tales, legends, and sights.

Another activity that you may add to your list is street shopping. The streets of Udaipur are overflowing with colour and chaos, reflecting the cultural radiance of this town. From vintage ware, ornate artefacts, traditional jewellery to authentic delicacies, the city has it all.

July to September

The rainy season brings delight for many. These months constitute the monsoon season. Although the city receives a relatively lower amount of rainfall, Udaipur is regarded as one of the top destinations in the state for a monsoon holiday. With the downpour, the city exudes a timeless beauty. The lakes brim with new life and the verdant gardens spark an awe-inspiring, aesthetic look.

If you are in Udaipur during this season, do not miss exploring the various gardens: the Rock Garden, Nehru Garden, and Saheliyon-ki-Bari (the garden of maids). Besides this, unmatched experiences await you at the Sajjangarh Palace and Jagmandir Palace, where you can catch a glimpse of some unparalleled views of the city. Another attraction worth visiting during the monsoon season is Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary. Home to various species of birds and animals, it is highly recommended for nature enthusiasts who particularly take delight in bird-watching.

If you’re an adventure seeker in search of some thrilling activities, bicycle tours along the rugged terrains of the Aravalli Hills are just your ticket. The roads are not laden with heavy traffic and are easy to negotiate. For a more exhilarating activity, the trek up Sajjangarh Fort is also a great option. Along with this trekking route, you will come across scenic vistas that are sure to take your breath away.

October to February

The winter months are the best time to visit Udaipur. During the daytime, the weather is warm and dry, with spells of humidity. The evenings, on the other hand, are cool and pleasant accompanied by a waft of some cool breeze. It is, therefore the best time to visit Udaipur and experience what the city has to offer.

Begin with a tour around the magnificent Kumbhalgarh Fort, which stretches up to 40 km. Then head to the Fateh Sagar Lake. The lake is home to the Fateh Sagar Fish Aquarium, the largest in the country. It is also an apt place to indulge your adrenaline rush by trying speed-boating or witnessing the gorgeous sunrise at the Fateh Sagar Pal.

Visit the exquisite Karni Mata Temple. While you’re at it, you can try riding the ropeway for some breath-taking aerial views of the city.

For those who love a lesson or two in history, Maharana Pratap Singh Museum is an abode of the city’s legendary tales. Showcasing the life and times of erstwhile Mewar rulers, the museum guarantees an educational and enriching experience. There is no better way to spend some fun-filled family time than at the colourful light-and-sound show at the City Palace.
