Tourists need to follow a few travel tips, which can be very helpful for a trouble-free journey in Rajasthan. Remember the following tips:

  • Money exchange: The money exchange centers are limited to the major cities of Rajasthan, so keep exchange with you.
  • Passport-Visa and Embassy Contacts: Always keep your passport and VISA with you, and also the contact numbers of the Embassy to meet any contingencies.
  • Hotels: Rajasthan hotels are cheap in price and comfortable to stay in. But don’t get distracted with the schemes. The old royal palaces of the Maharajas are also converted into comfortable hotels. Always book into the hotels run by Indian Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) and Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC).
  • Shopping: Rajasthan is world famous for its exquisite artifacts. Items like handicrafts are very economical. You can shop for a wide variety of jewellery, wooden items, brass & metal items, clothes and sculptures from various handicraft stores in every district of Rajasthan. The vibrant Rajasthani markets are truly out of the world.
  • Event Calender: Every day is a festive day in Rajasthan. Keeping the event calendar of the various fairs and festivals along with a travel guide book is a wise thing to do. This way, you will not only get the information about the History of the fair or festival but also details like location, date, climate of the area, how to reach etc.
  • Best Time to Visit: The desert state is known for very hot summers. Therefore, plan your vacations between October to February when the weather is cool.
  • Clothing: Light cottons are suggested in summer, and woolens in winter. The nights can be chilling in winters.
  • Luxurious Journey By Train: ‘Palace on Wheels’ is the royal train of Rajasthan that takes you from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer. Along with the royal Rajasthani experience, this train provides a glimpse of the colourful Rajasthani culture.

This way, if you are planning for an India tour, the magical land of Rajasthan lets you experience rich culture, history and natural beauty.
