Jodhpur Weather in November

November weather

November feels warm and dry in Jodhpur, with afternoons reaching 31°C and nights cooling to 15°C. Rain is rare, and the clear skies make Mehrangarh Fort and the blue lanes of the old city good places to explore on foot. You can also enjoy an outdoor meal without the sticky heat of October, when highs reach 36°C.

The sun can still feel strong in the middle of the day, so save the steep climb around Mehrangarh for later. The evenings are cool enough to enjoy dinner on a rooftop in the old city.

Festivals and crowds

Diwali sometimes falls in November, bringing lamps, sweets and busy markets to Jodhpur. The date changes each year, so the city's festivities don't always land in this month. November also marks the start of the popular cool-season travel period. Expect more visitors and firmer hotel prices than in the hotter months.

If you hate crowds, visit Mehrangarh early in the day and explore the quieter lanes around Navchokiya later.

Local tips for Jodhpur

November's dry weather suits sightseeing, fort visits and day trips. It's less comfortable for long walks in open sun at midday, and it's not a month to expect rain to cool things down. For cooler days, December to February are the best months overall.

A useful Jodhpur tip: take an auto-rickshaw up to Mehrangarh's entrance rather than tackling the steep approach from the old city on foot. Then wander down through the blue lanes towards Navchokiya, where the route itself becomes part of the visit.
