🌟 Best Season (Peak)
Cool, comfortable weather (10–25°C). Perfect for desert safaris, fort visits, and outdoor exploration.
👍 Good Time (Shoulder Season)
Transitional months. Still pleasant but warming up. Good deals on accommodation.
⚠️ Avoid If Possible
Extreme heat (40–48°C). Desert temperatures are unbearable. Very few tourists.
🗓️ Jaisalmer Through the Year
Jaisalmer experiences scorching summers and pleasant winters. The desert climate makes the shoulder seasons of early winter and early spring ideal, with warm days and cool nights. Avoid visiting in the summer months when daytime temperatures become unbearable.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
The Desert Festival in February is a major draw, showcasing Rajasthani folk culture, music, and dance. Teej, celebrated in August, sees women praying and celebrating with decorated swings and processions.
What to pack
Pack light cotton clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for sun protection. A shawl or light jacket is useful for cooler evenings. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for exploring the fort and desert.
Saving money
Hotel prices are highest during the Desert Festival in February. For budget travel, consider visiting in the early monsoon months of July and August when prices are significantly lower due to the heat and occasional rainfall.
