The ideal time to explore Rajasthan’s national parks is from October to March, as the cooler weather during these months makes the experience more enjoyable and increases the chances of spotting wildlife. In Ranthambore National Park and Sariska Tiger Reserve, the winter months are prime for tiger sightings as these majestic creatures often bask in the sun. During this period, the parks are lush after the monsoon season, and the temperatures are comfortable for long safaris. Keoladeo National Park, one of the world’s best bird sanctuaries, sees a dramatic influx of migratory birds from as far as Siberia and Central Asia, making it a paradise for birdwatchers from November to February. Similarly, the Desert National Park offers a unique opportunity to see desert wildlife like the endangered Great Indian Bustard, and the cooler winter climate allows for easier exploration of this vast arid region. Summer, from April to June, is not ideal for visiting as temperatures often exceed 40°C, making wildlife spotting difficult and outdoor activities uncomfortable. Additionally, the monsoon season (July to September) sees many parks closing their gates to visitors, and the thick vegetation that results from the rains makes it harder to spot animals. Winter is the perfect time to experience the diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes of Rajasthan’s national parks.
