Darjeeling & Ghoom in November
Clear, crisp and calmer than October once the festival weeks pass. Tihar's lamps and Deusi singing come early in the month in many years. This is our favourite month for Tiger Hill, Chatakpur and the Lepchajagat forest, with steady views and lower prices. Evenings are cold, so pack warm, and expect autumn-flush tea in the gardens.
Local tip: Pack warm layers: November nights fall to 4–6 °C in town and colder in the villages.
