Darjeeling is lovely most of the year, but the clearest mountain views and most reliable weather come in specific windows.
October to December
The post-monsoon skies are at their clearest, giving the sharpest Kanchenjunga sunrises from Tiger Hill.
March to May
Spring brings pleasant weather and blooming gardens, a comfortable time for tea-estate visits and the toy train.
Monsoon
June to September is wet with frequent cloud cover and occasional landslides, so mountain views are unreliable.
- Clearest views: Oct–Dec
- Pleasant spring: Mar–May
- Avoid peak monsoon for views
- Winter mornings are cold — pack layers
