Most couples choose Udaipur for its lakes and palaces, and the season you pick changes how both feel. Here is how the year breaks down.

October to March: peak season

Warm days and cool evenings make this the easiest time for outdoor functions. It is also when the best-known palaces book up first, often a year ahead, so flexibility on dates helps.

April to June: summer

Afternoons are very hot. Venues are quieter and often better value, and weddings work well when functions move indoors or start after sunset.

July to September: monsoon

The hills turn green and the lakes fill. Rain needs planning around, with covered back-ups for every outdoor function, but the city is at its most beautiful.

Our advice

Choose the season first, then shortlist venues, then fix dates. If a particular palace matters most, let its availability decide the weekend.
