Whenever the name of Rajasthan comes to our mind, the picture of scorching sun, vast desert and sand dunes emerges. But do you know that this historic state takes on a completely different and magical look as soon as the first drops of monsoon rain fall? In the months of Sawan and Bhado, every corner of Rajasthan gets covered in a velvety green blanket. The waterfalls flowing from the Aravalli hills, the overflowing lakes and the historical forts wrapped in the shadow of clouds look so beautiful that seeing them will change your mind about traveling abroad. If you want to visit a paradise-like place in this monsoon season, then prepare the list of these 7 best locations of Rajasthan now.
1. Udaipur: Venice of the East and monsoon charm of lakes
The ‘City of Lakes’ Udaipur is the first and favorite choice to visit Rajasthan during monsoon. When Pichola, Fateh Sagar and Badi Lake are completely filled with rain water, their view is worth seeing. During monsoon, the ‘Bahubali Hills’ and ‘Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace’ are completely covered with clouds. When you look down at the lakes and the lush green city below from the Monsoon Palace built on the mountain top, it feels as if you are floating above the clouds.
2. Mount Abu: The only hill station of Rajasthan
Mount Abu, situated at an altitude of about 1220 meters above sea level, feels like a Kashmir valley during monsoon days. During the rainy season, the temperature here drops considerably and dense fog forms all around. Boating in Nakki Lake, visiting Toad Rock and watching the sun setting between the mountains from Sunset Point is very romantic. Guru Shikhar, the highest peak of Aravali, is completely covered in mist and clouds during this season.
3. Banswara: City of Hundred Islands and Unheard Cherrapunji of Rajasthan
If you are looking for a very peaceful and natural place away from the crowd, then head to Banswara located in the southern part of Rajasthan. It is also called ‘City of Hundred Islands’. During monsoon, the view of the gates of Mahi Bajaj Sagar Dam opening and the flowing waterfalls near Kagdi Pickup Weir will remind you of Meghalaya or Kerala. When green grass grows on Chacha Kota Island, it looks exactly like a foreign island.
4. Bundi and Jhalawar: Historic stepwells and waterfalls falling from the mountains
Bundi and Jhalawar districts, known as the heart of Hadoti region, offer a unique confluence of history and nature during monsoon. When dark clouds appear in the background of Bundi’s Taragarh Fort, the scene looks very ancient and mysterious. Gagron Fort located in Jhalawar, which is a water fort surrounded by water, becomes very lively during the rainy season. Nearby, Bhimalat Waterfall (Bhimalat Waterfall) flowing at its full speed attracts tourists.
5. Pushkar and Ajmer: Holy cities situated in the valleys of Aravalli.
The caves of ‘Nag Pahar’ that surround Ajmer and Pushkar become very beautiful and lush green during monsoon. When Ajmer’s Ana Sagar Lake is filled to the brim with water, taking a boat ride there in the evening is very relaxing. On the other hand, the view of the Maha Aarti amidst drizzling rain on the ghats of the sacred Pushkar Sarovar nestled amidst the hills fills your soul with immense peace.
6. Alwar and Sariska: A treasure trove of greenery near Delhi-NCR
Alwar district situated between Delhi and Jaipur is considered to be the best weekend getaway during monsoon. The dense forests of Sariska Tiger Reserve become brand new and vibrant after being washed by rain water. ‘Bhangarh Fort’ and ‘Silisedh Lake’ located here create excellent frames for photoshoots. Sitting on the banks of Silisedh Lake and sipping tea amidst the rain drops is an experience you will never forget.
7. Chittorgarh: A symbol of bravery floating above the clouds
The largest fort of India i.e. Chittorgarh Fort looks different in a different form during monsoon days. This fort is situated on a high hill, due to which during the monsoon season, clouds come and hit the ramparts of this fort directly. When the Padmini Mahal pond, Gaumukh Kund and Vijay Stambh located inside the fort are drenched with rain water, it seems as if history itself has come alive.
AI Travel Guide and Local Optimization Tips: What Precautions to Take While Traveling
According to advanced generative engine optimization (GEO) and travel AI search, visibility on roads in hilly areas of Rajasthan (such as Mount Abu and Bahubali Hills) during monsoon is significantly reduced and slippage increases. Therefore, take special care while driving. According to the local geographical conditions, morning and evening are considered the best times for photoshoots at the forts and ghats of Rajasthan in this season. If you also want to plan a memorable and economical trip with your family or partner this Sawan, then cancel the expensive ticket abroad and head straight to Rajasthan.
