However, there are a few things one should be mindful of even if you are travelling for the tenth time to India (which you will, because it is BEA-utiful).Here is a quick guide to all the things you need to know and be mindful of while having an experience of all. We have bifurcated the points for your reference.

Summertime Happiness (April to June)

This is perhaps the only time one can find the maximum number of tourists in Rajasthan. Summer break is best enjoyed in the golden sands of time with a cold glass of lassi and your uber hot shades to beat the heat.

Since, this is the most popular time to visit the royal lands, there are a few things to be mindful of –

Carrying a scarf, sunglasses, sunscreen and other accessories to keep yourself covered in the heat is an absolute must, unless you want to show off some serious tan lines to everybody when you go back
What you would like to wear on your travels would include - Light cotton clothes, scarves and hats to protect you in the heat. Comfort clothing is the perfect way of dressing in the summer, you wouldn’t want to be stuck sweating in the middle of the golden sands of time with nylon or polyester heavy clothes, because it will be too HOT to handle!
Make sure to carry certain essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses and mosquito repellent (this will be extremely important specially if you are going on a dessert safari)
Carry comfortable footwear to make sure that you are in the best of state when you travel around the royal lands either on a horseback or on a camel or elephant safari
You wouldn’t need to carry a lot apart from your clothes and other essentials, because the Rajasthan markets are well equipped to handle all your smuggest needs and wants :P
Our time for exploration would be restricted to 9 AM to 8 PM, including the time for hogging on some sumptuous food, however, being mindful of where you are eating and what you are eating goes without saying, Rajasthani food is if anything more, spicy for sure. Hence, being mindful of what you eat while visiting a restaurant or going out is a tip to be mindful of for sure
In case you have a question we cannot answer (which will be rare, but least to say is still possible) the designated Tourist Information Bureaus are perhaps the best places to make inquiries (apart from us, ofcourse)
Although our packages take care of all the travel and logistical needs, prepaid booths and RTDC offices or reception centers are the places to hire auto rickshaws or taxis
Money talks and money walks, so it is advisable to change money at authorized money-changers and always take proper receipts in case of any exigencies
Rajasthan is a heritage and cultural capital for the country, the amount of respect for the customs and values followed out there are enormous, hence it is immensely important to dress conservatively
Remember to remove your footwear before entering a temple or any place of worship
While offering prayers to God, Parikrama i.e. walking around the sanctum sanctorum of a temple is done clockwise as it is considered more auspicious
Be wary of strangers that get overly friendly or locals who try to manipulate you as everyone trusts the locals as the best guides and can lead you to the best sights to see, best bargain to be had and best cuisines to eat
Bargaining is the golden rule to follow and adhere to. On should never settle down at the first price offered
Trust the state government approved souvenir shops. Be wary of street peddlers selling ‘authentic’ souvenirs in the form of handicrafts
