With pleasant days and chilly nights, this is the best time to explore Rajasthan, since the weather during this time is a lot more enjoyable, cool, and comfortable, especially if you are riding a bike.

These months are also especially great to go on a bike ride from Jaisalmer to Pushkar, as there are many regional festivals celebrated during this time. You can also find numerous campsites scattered around Jaisalmer and Pushkar in these months, and even enjoy a memorable bonfire while camping during the night as you take some time to rest during your bike trip.
