Summer (March - June)

With temperatures reaching as high as 43 degrees Celsius, this is the worst time to visit this location. If you travel in the months of May and June, the days are extremely hot and humid.

Monsoon (July - September)

Despite the fact that the monsoon season gets moderate to heavy rainfall, it is not the best time to visit due to severe downpours.

Winter (October - February)

The winter season, which begins in October and lasts until April, is the best time to visit Alwar. The months of October to February are ideal for a visit because the weather is great and the atmosphere is lovely. This is also the busiest travel season.

The foundation of Alwar

Alwar was established on Vikrami Samvat by the King of Amer in 1000CE. It was originally known as Alpur City. Since then, the province has been governed by various Rajputs, including the Khanzada Rajputs, the Nikumbh Rajputs, the Maratha, the Badgujar Rajputs, the Jats, and even a Hindu Brahmin king, Hemchandra Vikramaditya.

Alwar's Background

Alwar is Rajasthan's oldest city. The Pandavas lived the last years of their banishment in Alwar, which dates back to 1500BC. We all assumed their exile would take place in the Himalayas, but the realities reveal a different story.

Alwar's Simla

Yes, Alwar has a Simla, owing to Maharaja Sheodan Singh, who established the exquisite Purjan Vihar park. Because of its inherent prettiness, rich foliage, and chilling winds, it is known as the Simla of Alwar. So, whether you're a tourist or a local, this garden provides a welcome relief from Alwar's hot and humid weather.

The Residence of the Fairy Queen

Not only is Alwar a lovely fairytale land, but it also has the world's oldest running engine, the Fairy Queen, which runs between Delhi and Alwar. It is, without a doubt, the domain of the Fairy Queen.

Local bus network

RSRTC government buses and public buses are both excellent ways to get to cities and villages surrounding Alwar. Buses are widely available from the city's bus stop, which is situated on the outskirts.
