Udaipur, known as the 'City of Lakes,' offers a temperate climate and a plethora of cultural events throughout the year. However, the best time to visit the Lake Palace, also known as Jag Niwas, is during the winter months from October to March. During this period, the weather is pleasantly cool with the maximum temperatures ranging between 28-32 degrees Celsius and the minimums dropping to about 2-12 degrees Celsius. The mild weather makes it comfortable to explore the majestic Lake Palace, which sits majestically on the island of Jag Niwas in Lake Pichola. The clear skies and lower humidity levels ensure that your visit will be accompanied by splendid views of the serene lake and the surrounding Aravalli Hills.
Visiting during this season also allows tourists to experience the grandeur of Udaipur's festivals. One of the most famous, the Mewar Festival, is held in March or April to welcome the advent of spring. The city comes alive with processions, cultural performances, and fireworks, offering visitors a remarkable insight into the local heritage and traditions. In contrast, the summer months from April to June are scorching with temperatures soaring up to 45 degrees Celsius, which may hinder daytime explorations of the Lake Palace. The monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rainfall, which can add to the romantic ambience of the Lake Palace but might also restrict movement and sightseeing plans due to waterlogging and occasional flooding.
