Jaipur Weather in February

February weather in Jaipur

February is mild and mostly sunny, with warm afternoons and cool evenings. The average high reaches 27°C, while nights can drop to 11°C. Rain is scarce, so you can comfortably explore Amber Fort, wander the City Palace courtyards or browse Johari Bazaar without summer heat getting in the way.

The dry air and clear skies suit sightseeing and day trips, but evenings can feel chilly after sunset. Families with young children may find afternoon visits to Hawa Mahal easier than long, exposed walks at midday.

Events and local life

February has no single major Jaipur festival that falls on the same dates every year. Maha Shivaratri sometimes lands in February, bringing worshippers to temples across the city; its date changes with the Hindu calendar. Check the year's timing if you'd like to see the celebrations.

Jaipur's best-known winter events, including the Jaipur Literature Festival, usually take place in January, so don't count on them in February. You'll still find daily life unfolding around the old city's bazaars and temples.

Crowds and practical tips

February is still part of Jaipur's high season, and visitor numbers are generally higher than in the hot months ahead. Expect popular sights to feel busy, and accommodation to cost more than during the summer or monsoon. It's usually less intense than the March heat, though the season is still in demand.

At Amber Fort, take an auto-rickshaw or taxi up from the town rather than walking the steep approach in the afternoon. Save your energy for the fort's courtyards and views across Maota Lake.
