About this place
Alwar is a city of about 460,000 people in Rajasthan, cradled by the ancient Aravalli Hills. Once a princely state of Rajputana, it sits roughly 160 km south of Delhi and 150 km north of Jaipur, making it an accessible stop between the capital and Rajasthan's larger tourist hubs. The city blends hill-fort scenery with a bustling local bazaar culture, offering a quieter, more grounded Rajasthan experience.
Its compact historic core rewards wandering — pick up traditional mojri shoes and lac bangles, sample the famous milk cake, and use Alwar as a base for day trips to nearby Sariska. For travelers seeking heritage without the heavy crowds of Jaipur or Udaipur, Alwar delivers a relaxed, authentic slice of Rajasthani life.

Things to Do
- Shop for local handicrafts — Alwar's bazaars are known for colourful lac bangles and traditional Rajasthani mojris (leather shoes), as well as silver jewellery made more affordable by the region's silver ore.
- Taste Alwar's milk cake — This dense, fudge-like sweet is the city's signature treat; pick it up from a local sweet shop to experience a true Alwar specialty.
- Day-trip to Sariska — Local buses run to Sariska (about 1½ hours), putting the wildlife sanctuary and its tiger reserve within easy reach for a half- or full-day excursion.

Best Time to Visit
- Late September to November — The post-monsoon window delivers pleasant average temperatures near 25°C with very little rain and clear skies, ideal for sightseeing and day trips.
- Mid-February to early April — Another comfortable stretch with average temperatures around 24.3°C and abundant sunshine; pack a light jacket for cooler nights (down to about 6.5°C).
- Avoid April–June — Pre-monsoon heat pushes daytime highs well above 40°C, making travel exhausting unless you plan activities exclusively for early mornings and evenings.

Planning Tips
- Use Alwar as a transit stop — Frequent bus and train connections to Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer make it a practical overnight or two-night pause on a longer Rajasthan loop.
- Travel light with layers — Even in the prime February–March window, nights can dip to around 6.5°C while afternoons warm considerably; layers help you adapt.
- Arrive by train from Delhi or Jaipur — The Shatabdi Express stops at Alwar (around 8:35 PM toward Jaipur), and overnight trains link Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, giving flexibility for multi-city itineraries.
- Plan bazaar visits for morning — Markets are most active and comfortable before the midday heat, especially outside the winter months; this is also when the best milk cake is fresh.
