December in Rajasthan is a great time of the year: dry and sunny by day, cool once the sun goes down, and often misty in the hills in the morning. Rain is very unlikely.

Arrival

When should I arrive in Udaipur?

Ideally by the evening of 9th December, so you're there in time for the morning pickup on the 10th.

For our international guests

Do I need to wear Indian clothes?

Please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and celebrated. If you'd like to join in with Indian outfits, we'd love that! If you arrive in India a few days early, you can find great options locally, and renting is also possible. You can also order online, for example at INDYA (houseofindya.com), which ships internationally. If you have any questions or doubts, please don't hesitate to reach out.

For our international guests

Which SIM should I get?

We recommend Jio, which has the best network around Kumbhalgarh. Alternatively, you can set up a travel eSIM such as Airalo or Holafly before you fly.
