The months from March to June mark the arrival of summers. Jaipur, being a part of the desert experiences heatwaves (loo winds) and harsh sunlight during this season.

The Romantic Monsoons:

The onset of monsoons can be marked from the months of  July to October. If you travel to Jaipur during these months make sure to enjoy the light and sound show at Amer Fort. This show will leave you dumbstruck. Opt for a taxi while you visit forts and temples situated on hills because the path gets slippery and slightly risky. During this season book stay at hotels in Jaipur that are closer to the Aravali range or are surrounded by greenery, the monsoons make Jaipur a beautiful, elegant, and romantic destination. Also, add the Chowki Dhani village to the list of places to visit.
