We went on a customized trip to Rajasthan with WanderOn and had an amazing experience exploring all the destinations. From the Blue City of Jodhpur to …, quotes one of our traveler, Vidya M, who recently did a Rajasthan trip with us.
Rajasthan is generally safe for backpacking. Thousands of backpackers travel through the state each year without experiencing major problems. Follow basic safety practices: avoid walking alone late at night, keep your belongings secure, and choose accommodations with good reviews. Popular tourist areas such as Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur are particularly safe. Use official taxis or ride-sharing apps when traveling after dark. Female backpackers should travel in groups when possible and trust their instincts about their surroundings.

The best time to visit Rajasthan is between October and March. During these months, the weather is pleasant with daytime temperatures around 20-25°C and cooler nights at 10-15°C. The skies are generally clear and there is minimal rainfall. Avoid traveling during April to June, as temperatures regularly exceed 45°C. The monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rain and high humidity, making travel uncomfortable.
- Travel Season Matters: The best time for a Rajasthan backpacking tour is October to March, when the weather is cool. Avoid May to September due to humid weather and heat waves. If you visit during peak season, most of the accommodations are full, so book early for your Rajasthan backpacking trip.
- Get Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is cheap and important. It’s for accidents or health problems. Most accommodations, especially hostels, ask for it.
- Bring Good Walking Shoes: You have to walk a lot when discovering places to visit in Rajasthan. Forts have stairs; cities have uneven streets. Good shoes are important; remember to bring a small daypack for your daily walks.
- Cash is King: Many small places do not accept cards. ATMs are available but not everywhere. Have cash for local transport, food, and small activities. This also saves you card fees.
- Respect Local Culture: Rajasthan has temples and religious places. Cover your shoulders and knees. Respect local customs. Ask before taking photos of people.
