When we talk about visiting a water body during the monsoon, just picture a better view of the place than you already can. During the rainy season, the Sambhar Lake fills up with even more water and becomes more enticing than it already is. Being the largest saltwater lake in India, it contributes majorly to the states and the country’s salt production. This makes it an important place in addition to being a popular tourist destination.  

For a short trip from Jaipur, Sambhar Lake is the perfect getaway idea. Drive your car to the lake in the morning and enjoy the stunning views of the lake. Don’t forget to click beautiful photographs. By evening, you can be back home if you like. If you wish, you can also consider camping at night. Don’t forget to carry a tent and a blanket to keep you warm.

Get ready for some spooky stories because we are headed to Bhangarh Fort. Let us warn you, the fort is a deadly combination of mystery and fun. One of the best getaways near Jaipur, this fort is perfect for a guided tour. Hear the story of the famous black magician Singhia and the gorgeous princess Ranavati. Remember, nobody is allowed to enter the fort after sunset. In fact, you will be escorted out before sunset because the place is considered to be haunted.  

Keeping the tales behind the fort aside, the place is surrounded by hills, and the historical ruins make it even more enchanting. Inside the place, you can also explore old havelis and temples—adventurers love this spot. So, what have you decided?

When you go for a nature walk during the rainy season, the breeze, the lush greenery, the peace—everything will amaze you and make you feel calm. What’s more, several migratory birds come here to the lake during this season, giving you another reason to pick this place as your weekend destination near Jaipur. Enjoy birdwatching. You can even sit with your eyes closed, listening to the sound of the birds chirping. It’s going to be serene, trust us.

Yes, you read it right. Pushkar, the famous sacred place in Rajasthan, is the only city in the country that has a Brahma Temple. This tourist destination is the perfect getaway for a religious and fun outing from Jaipur. This small temple town is also renowned for the Pushkar Mela, which takes place every year in November. However, since it’s the peak season, we recommend visiting now, during the rainy season, to make the most out of this town.  

For a nice, lavish experience, you can also book a resort for your stay. In fact, there is a wide range of resorts, from the affordable ones to the luxury ones. It’s totally up to you what you would like to book. Early in the morning, head out to the temple, stroll through the markets (get yourself a souvenir), and head back to your resort for a small dip in the pool. Later, in the evening, head to Pushkar Lake and sit near the ghaat in silence. Remember, you cannot buy alcohol or smoke here since it’s a religious place.
