From the Jaipur travel guide
From Harsh's Jaipur travel guide.
The vibe depends entirely on when you go. From October to March the mornings are cold and clear and the light on the forts is extraordinary; the afternoons are warm and fine for bazaars. From April to June it is 40 to 45 degrees by noon and the city is only doable at dawn and after dark. The monsoon is humid but green, and the forts are dramatic under grey skies.
