Darjeeling & Ghoom in July

VerdictThink twiceWeatherDarjeeling 15–19 °C, heavy rain most days, landslides

The wettest stretch of the year. Rain falls most days, roads are often blocked for hours by landslides, the full toy train line is frequently suspended, and views are rare. Prices drop sharply and the hills are bright green. Only come if you are flexible, have buffer days, and are happy with cafés, monasteries and misty walks.

Local tip: Keep a buffer day before any train or flight out of NJP or Bagdogra.
