The Dooars & Siliguri in February
Perhaps the best all-round month: warm afternoons, clear mornings, short grass and good rhino and gaur sightings. Maha Shivaratri often falls in February, bringing the Jalpesh Mela near Maynaguri and pilgrims to the Mahakal cave at Jayanti. Paths to Buxa Fort and Lepchakha are dry and views over the plains still clear.
Local tip: If Shivaratri falls on your dates, book Jayanti homestays early or base yourself in Rajabhatkhawa.
