The short answer
When to go to Jalore
The best window is November to February, when days are mild and dry and the fort climb and the temple trips are comfortable. March and October are workable if you start early. April to June is very hot, and July to September is humid with the year's heaviest rain, though the hills turn green. Older travellers should plan everything outdoors for the first hours after sunrise and rest after lunch.
