The short answer
When to go to Udaipur
September to March is the best window, with October to February the most comfortable for the lakes and old city bazaars. April to June is very hot and dry, often exceeding 37-40°C, and July to August brings humid monsoon rain, though the lakes are at their fullest and greenest by September. The old city's bazaar lanes are steep and narrow, so travellers with mobility concerns may prefer a base near Fateh Sagar with a car or auto for sightseeing.
