For the demoiselle cranes, winter is everything: the birds begin arriving around late August and build to tens of thousands, with the densest and most reliable spectacle from about November to February, viewed at the dawn and dusk fly-ins. This same window is also the most comfortable for the desert heat. From March the cranes thin out and depart, and by April to June Phalodi is brutally hot, this is the town that recorded 51°C. Time a visit to the winter to see Khichan at its full drama.
For February specifically: The ideal Rajasthan window, pre-summer comfort with full availability of palace stays. The standard Phalodi architecture (the salt city and the crane village) is preserved; the day-pacing is rebuilt around this month's conditions.
