Best Time to Visit Darjeeling: Seasonal Experiences

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip to the hills and Darjeeling is high on my list. I’ve been browsing through a few Darjeeling tour packages from Delhi, and I’m curious to know – when is the best time to visit Darjeeling for scenic beauty, good weather, and less crowd?

I’ve read that each season offers something different:

? Spring (March to April): Seems perfect for flowers, greenery, and pleasant temperatures. Is this a good time for sightseeing and tea garden tours?

☀️ Summer (May to June): A lot of people say this is ideal to escape the heat of the plains. But is it too crowded during this time?

? Autumn (October to November): I’ve heard this is when the skies are clear and perfect for views of the Kanchenjunga. Is this also a good time for combining a Sikkim and Darjeeling Tour Package?

❄️ Winter (December to February): I’m tempted by the idea of cold mornings and foggy views. But is travel safe and are most tourist places open?

If you’ve been to Darjeeling in any of these seasons, I’d love to hear about your experience!
Also, if anyone has booked a Darjeeling tour package from Delhi, can you suggest good operators or share your itinerary?

Looking forward to your suggestions and seasonal insights. Thanks in advance!
