Darjeeling & Ghoom in August
Much like July: heavy rain, slips on the hill roads and short clear spells. Homestays and hotels offer their lowest rates of the year, and the tea gardens are in monsoon flush. Avoid remote villages like Chatakpur, whose forest track turns rough. Stay central, enjoy the quiet town, and watch the weather before any day trip.
Local tip: Check road status every morning with your hotel before setting off on a day trip.
