Continue reading to find out why you can’t expect much deviation during the off-season.

What is the off-season in Udaipur?

From April to September, Udaipur records low in tourists than the usual crowd. So, that’s the off-season for travellers in Udaipur. Considering its weather, April, May, and June are sweltering summers, while July, August, and September are winter months in Udaipur. That said, even when travelling off-season in Udaipur, you have a choice. You can plan your solo trip in the peak of summer or the winter.

What are the benefits of travelling off-season?

Well, who doesn’t like travelling off-season if there are benefits coming with it? So, let’s see what Udaipur chimes in for people travelling off-season.

• Monsoon tourist destinations
• Affordable accommodation
• Discounted flight tickets
• Lesser queues and crowds
• No need for advance booking

Firstly what I consider the greatest perk is if you are travelling off-season, you can explore the monsoon destinations of Udaipur, which are otherwise not in their fullest performance. Of course, you need to travel between July to September to visit the monsoon destinations. The second advantage is you don’t have to pre-book tickets well in advance as there won’t be a buzzing crowd. During the off-season, ticket booking websites offer huge discounts and coupons. It is the same with accommodation too. 

Off-season in Udaipur affordable or not?

Getting to our concern, Udaipur is certainly affordable during the off-season. I would say Udaipur itself is an affordable package compared to other places. I have already put a blog post explaining the cost of a solo trip to Udaipur. You can check that to understand why I say Udaipur is affordable. Having that said, let me clarify things neatly. Yes, Udaipur is affordable during the off-season, but you can’t expect them to vary much different than the on-season budget.

Just read the benefits of travelling off-season I just mentioned once again. You can see that none of them relates to food expenses and transport expenses. Your food and travel expenses are the same, except for a few concessions for in-flight travel. Even the accommodation cost will not sink very low. So, basically, the budget drops slightly compared to the on-season travel. That means, more or less, it is the same. 

Nevertheless, the happy news is that it is still affordable. Rest assured, you can read my blog post on “how to explore Udaipur at minimum cost” if you want to make sure you are on the limit during the solo trip.
