Best Time to Visit
The summer season should be avoided if you want to enjoy every bit of the place. Monsoons do bring a little relief with the cooling showers, but the city does not receive much rain even during the rainy season, making the weather humid and sticky.
The best time to visit Udaipur is during the months of September to March. The weather is very pleasant and you can enjoy every bit of your stay during this period. A number of festivals and celebrations take place during this time as well, the most significant being Shilpgram crafts Mela, which attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world.
