Phalodi

What is the monsoon like at Phalodi?

Quick answer

Phalodi, in Phalodi: a desert town on the Jaisalmer road, with havelis and the way to Khichan’s cranes Winter for birds and for walking. Break the Jodhpur–Jaisalmer journey here only if you want the town or the birds.

Detailed answer

Phalodi is in Phalodi district, in the Thar part of Rajasthan. People usually combine it with Jodhpur. It earns a night if it is the point of the day. A photo stop between two cities wastes it.

Rain months at Phalodi: July may bring a short rain. It does not turn the Thar into a hill station. August stays hot, with occasional storms. Do not expect a green forest. September eases only slowly. Nights are kinder than May, middays still punish. Winter for birds and for walking. Green country is not the same thing as an open road or an open zone.

District Phalodi, region Thar, hub Jodhpur. Do not walk into a crane flock. District status can be restated. Birds are seasonal. Court or tradition named in the note: a desert market town.
