Festivals and events worth timing your visit

Baneshwar Fair, held in January or February in the nearby Dungarpur district, is a major tribal festival featuring traditional dances, music, and rituals. Gangaur, celebrated in March or April, is dedicated to Goddess Gauri and involves processions and cultural performances throughout Rajasthan. Teej, in July or August, is a monsoon festival with women dressed in green, swings, and traditional songs. Diwali, usually in October or November, is the festival of lights, with homes and streets illuminated, and sweets exchanged. Makar Sankranti, in January, marks the transition of the sun into Makara rashi, with kite flying and special food preparations.

What to pack

For visits between October and February, pack light woollens, especially for the evenings and early mornings. During the hotter months (March to June), bring light cotton clothing, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as you will likely be doing a lot of sightseeing. If visiting during the monsoon, pack rain gear like a raincoat or umbrella and waterproof shoes. Women should consider carrying a shawl or scarf for visiting religious sites, as modest dress is often expected.

Saving money

The cheapest time to visit Banswara is generally during the monsoon season (July to September), when hotel rates can be 20-30% lower due to the heavy rains. Flights and hotels are also cheaper during the off-season months of April and May. Look for accommodations in the main city area for budget-friendly options. Eating at local dhabas and restaurants can save you money on food. Booking flights and hotels 4-6 weeks in advance can also help you secure better deals.
