Field notes
Pink City heritage with a quieter pace than Delhi or Mumbai. C-Scheme and Bani Park are the foreigner-friendly residential pockets; the Old City is for tourism, not living. India's e-Tourist visa (180 days) applies; no formal DNV. Summer (April–June) is brutal — 40°C+ and dust storms — and the post-monsoon window (October–March) is the only sustainable nomad season.
Three distinct seasons: brutal hot-dry (April–June, peaking 40°C+ with dust storms), monsoon (July–September, the only meaningfully humid stretch), and the comfortable nomad window (October–March, 17–25°C with low humidity). Winter mornings can be genuinely cold (sub-10°C) for a few weeks.
