The Dooars & Siliguri in April
Hot and humid on the plains, with thunderstorms building in the afternoons. Parks remain open and wildlife viewing at water is good, but midday is uncomfortable. The hills at Samsing, Suntalekhola and Jhalong are pleasant and green, and the tea gardens are busy with plucking. Prices fall after the winter rush.
Local tip: Plan safaris for dawn and dusk and spend the hot hours in the hills or by a river.
