7 Reasons That You Should Have Your Monsoon Vacation In Rajasthan This Time

Rajasthan is famous for its moonlit sand dunes shimmering against the blue overlay of sky, memories and tales about legendary Rajput rulers and their majestic forts. However, it is common myth that states charm fades away in the monsoon. But let me inform you it’s only a myth as monsoon is a beautiful time to visit Rajasthan. Monsoon is when clouds swarm in for surprise, sudden bursts on its rather barren landscapes. While the rural areas look nothing less than an oil painting, even the urban areas like Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, and Mount Abu look stunning.

If you still haven’t fancied the idea of a monsoon vacation in Rajasthan then here are some more reasons for you to go on a road trip to Rajasthan.

Teej Festival At Jaipur

Visit Rajasthan during the months of July/August you might get to experience the Teej festival in Jaipur. Women dress up in colourful clothes and jewellery to worship the Goddess Parvati. Withhenna decorated handsthey swing on 'jhulaas' fixed to the branches of large trees, singing the Teej song. Now that’s a cultural aspect you wouldn’t want to miss.

The Majestic Forts

There is no denying the fact that the forts of Rajasthan are best preserved and the most majestic. Every year monsoon washes them anew and adds more to their charm. The fact that most of these forts are perched on the hills, incomparable green views of the city around them are guaranteed.

An Odyssey Of Lakes

Rajasthan is believed to have only deserts and thus making it arid. But your perspective will be totally changed if you visit the state in monsoons. Visit the stunning lakes here in monsoons and your mood will surely be cheerful for days after the beautiful sight. Reserve some nights for Lake Pichola, for it looks nothing less than a dream.

Shopping In The Local Markets

No matter what time of the year is it, the best thing to do in Rajasthan will always be shopping in the local markets. Shopping in Rajasthan is all about colourful trinkets, leather goods, spices and even royal jewellery. The state has made the world go gaga over its artistry. People come here from across the world, and make their way to home with double the baggage.

Discounted Prices

Travelling during the monsoon can be a pleasurable experience. But if you wish for a bit of exclusivity then you should visit the place during the off-season. Hotels here during this period offer 30% - 40% on the tariffs. Hence, this is the best time to visit the state without burning a hole in your pocket.

The Jolly Locals

If you are keen on a more local experience then Rajasthan will offer you more than you could have asked for with the markets truly coloured in its festive fervour. This is the time for shopping and celebrations in the state. If you are lucky enough, you might as well get invited to join them for a royal feast. Head out to more local, lesser-known and unexplored areas of the state rather than just the cities to have a lifetime’s experience.

No Tourists Around

While we are absolutely in love with monsoon vacation in the state, not many people are, making it more of a treat for us. If you want to explore Rajasthan at leisure and are great at getting drenched in some occasional showers, it is time for some exploration. This is the time when you can spend some “me time” in the forts of Rajasthan, read a book by one of its lake, go for a short hike in the Aravalli’s and so much more.
