Rajasthan

Rajasthan works well for backpackers because the state does not run on one kind of travel. Jaipur brings Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Amer Fort, Nahargarh, old bazaars, block printing, cafés and quick city routes. Udaipur shifts the mood with Lake Pichola, City Palace, Gangaur Ghat, Fateh Sagar Lake, local thali spots, rooftop views and slower lake-side evenings. Travellers can also build longer routes around Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Pushkar, Bikaner, Chittorgarh, Mount Abu and Ranthambore, depending on time and budget.

That is why hostels in Rajasthan make sense. Most travellers are not here to sit inside a room all day. The plan is usually outside: forts, markets, lake walks, food stops, local tours, sunset points, cafés and road trips. A dormitory in Rajasthan works well when you want to keep the stay cost practical and spend more on the actual route. Private rooms work better when you want rest after long sightseeing days or early starts.

For solo travellers, students, couples, friend groups and digital nomads, goSTOPS hostels in Rajasthan give a simple mix of dorms, private rooms, common spaces and location-led stays. The room is important, but the trip should not end there.

8°C - 34 °C

October - March

October to March is the most suitable time to visit Jaipur, the weather remains pleasant throughout the day during this period of time. Around January and March Jaipur hosts The Elephant Festival and The World Literature Festival, which makes these months perfect for a short trip. However, it is not advisable to visit Jaipur between April to July because of extreme weather conditions.

July - September

23°C - 35°C

July - September

The monsoon (July-September) is ideal for visiting Jaipur. Because Jaipur does not get an average amount of rain, sightseeing and other recreational activities are not impeded. The temperature fluctuates from 23 to 35 degrees Celsius during this time of year, making it slightly cooler than summer. This small bit of rain also makes the surroundings look fresh and dazzling, adding to the city's charm.
