Visiting Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park

The park extends across 70 hectares – about 170 acres – of rocky land abutting the fort. You can enter the Park from the Visitors Centre 800 m from the main Fort Gate, or you can walk through it starting much closer to the Fort from several entries.

What to bring
Good walking shoes to negotiate rocky uneven terrain. Protection from a strong sun (hats, sunblock) is usually necessary and don't forget to carry drinking water with you. For birders, birding guides and binoculars!
The changing seasons
August to October - these are special months because of the rains and the explosion of grasses and ephemeral wild flowers.
October to February - the dry season sets in after October and the Park wears a gaunt, spare beauty through to February as the grasses dry up and turn golden. This is the best time to walk in the Park because the weather is pleasant.
April to July - it's very hot during these months but early mornings late evenings are still lovely.
