Best Time to Travel & What to Expect

Thinking about when to go? Here’s what you should know:

• October to February: Cool and pleasant; mornings/evenings crisp. Great for wildlife spotting and exploring.
• March to May: Hot, but dries up waterholes—animals may be more visible. Best for experienced travellers who can handle heat.
• Monsoon (July to September): Many roads may get affected; some safari zones sometimes close; visibility lower.

Also factor in festival seasons like Diwali or Holi when travel demand (and cab/taxi prices) is high. Leave early to avoid city congestion leaving Jaipur.

Road Trip Route Advice & Stops

If you drive, you’ll want the route to be more than just a drive. Here are tips and likely stops:

• Fuel & Snack Stops: Ensure you start with full tank. Fuel stations are fairly well spaced on NH552/Tonk. Along the Dausa-Lalsot route expect smaller local dhabas & chai shops.
• Recommended Stops:
  1. Tonk – historic town; good for stretching your legs, local food.
  2. Lalsot – smaller town; local markets; a good rest/tea break.
  3. Sawai Madhopur town – just before Ranthambore; hotel options; supplies if needed.

• Road Conditions: Tonk route generally smoother; if via Dausa/Lalsot, some parts might have potholes or ongoing maintenance—check local reports during monsoon.
• Safety Tips:
• • • Drive early to avoid traffic, especially exiting Jaipur.
    • Use a GPS or offline map. Signal may drop in rural stretches.
