Darjeeling & Ghoom in June
The first half of June is still busy with school holidays; by mid-month the monsoon arrives, the crowds thin, and views mostly vanish into cloud. The second flush tea, the muscatel that made Darjeeling famous, is plucked from late May into June. Roads begin to see landslides. Good for tea lovers and anyone who likes mist and green hills at lower prices.
Local tip: Carry an umbrella and leech socks for village walks from mid-June.
