How about a trip to Udaipur / Jodpur / Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
A Brief Summary
Three cities for the price of one. With a large number of former Maharaja Palaces now being used as hotels, you can traverse your way across India’s driest and hottest state (but in perfect weather in December), in style. From the city of Udaipur and it’s Bond-famed Lake Pichola, Taj Lake Palace and the Monsoon Palace in the hills above and the Jagdish Temple, head north to Jodhpur’s Mehrangarh Fort, Jaswant Thada and Toorji Ka Jhalra, through to Jaipur and it’s beautiful blue-painted buildings and multiple palaces and forts, including the Palace of Wind and Nahargarh Fort. With a little more time, the capital Delhi and Agra’s world-famous Taj Mahal are both half a days drive or train-ride away.
Location
About the Weather
One of the driest regions in India that sees far less reliable rain than elsewhere, is also, unsurprisingly, one of the sunniest. Nov to May is almost cloudless here and totally dry, with highs ranging from 25 to 35°c, and nights around 15°c cooler. The rains here arrive fairly unreliably in Jul and clear in early Sep. They can be heavy and bring welcome precipitation, but they can also almost entirely miss this region, leaving devastating droughts. Temperatures in Apr, May and Jun here can approach 50°c, although average nearer 38°c
