hey, going there soon, i was wanting to know what the temp is likely to be in the desert areas that we intend on visiting, camel treks etc.
mainly what clothing to take.
thanks ash
Magical place. In the 30s during the day, blinking chilly at night so plenty of layers.
I went in 2001 - amazing place. I expect its changed quite a bit now though. Where are you planning on going?
Went for the summer when I was at Uni, which basically meant doing everything as cheaply as possible, but that still meant staying in some reasonably okay hostels.
When we were there I think it reached mid to high 30s most of the time.
Things to take/wear - anything light really. But make sure you take with you things to cover shoulders etc in case you want to go into places where you need to be covered up.
I went to a wedding while there (actually it was in Delhi) and spent a lot of the next few days wearing the saree I'd bought as it was the coolest thing I had!
High points of the trip: Jodhpur, the fort at Jaipur, train journeys (no really), dinners in peoples houses, getting away from Mumbai.
Low points - being locked in the basement of a drug smuggling Indian man, but thats another story 😀
Hope you have an amazing trip
Hi mate, do you want a guidebook?
