PS

As the rain pours over Udaipur, the “Venice of the East” comes alive with all the beautiful colours that will make you fall in love with the beauty of nature. This city of lakes brims over in gaiety during monsoon. One of the best places to head to is, the Monsoon Palace, also known as the “Sajjan Garh Palace.” Apart from that, one should visit the Taj Lake Palace and City Palace.

A new charm to the ancient forts

Talk about Rajasthan, and the first though that clouds our mind are its majestic forts. Some of the best preserved and majestic in the country, every year monsoon washes the forts anew, adding more to their beauty. With the fact that a majority of these forts are perched on hills, unparalleled green views of the sprawling cities around them are guaranteed.

Perfect escape from overly crowded hotspots

PS

If you are one of those who seek comfort and bliss in isolated tour, then Rajasthan during monsoon is the perfect option for you. Not many people prefer traveling to Rajasthan during the monsoons. Therefore, if you prefer the luxury of privacy during your holidays, this is the time to go there. This is the time when you can have some alone time in the forts and ruins of Rajasthan, read a book by one of its lakes, go for a short hike in the Aravallis and so much more.

Time travel amidst the frescoes and murals of Bundi

Another favoured monsoon destination of Rajasthan, Bund is known for receiving the highest amount of rainfall in all of Rajasthan. Imagine visiting the Taragarh Fort without the crowded ambience, and exploring its beauty dressed in splendor and immersed in history with peace, sounds like a perfect evening plan right? For some quiet and peaceful moments, you can also head to the Nawal Sagar Lake.

Know the locals

Rajasthan celebrates two prominent festivals during the monsoon; Raksha Bandhan and Teej. You can join in the celebration of the locals and interact with them, whilst observing their culture and lifestyle closely. While there is little touristy crowd on the roads and markets around, you will run into more locals; head out to more rural areas of the state, and you will have a lifetime’s experience here.
