The Dooars & Siliguri in July

VerdictThink twiceWeatherPlains 25–32 °C, heavy rain

The heart of the monsoon. Parks are closed, riverbeds at Murti, Jayanti and Bindu are full and dangerous, and roads into the hills are unreliable. Tea gardens are at their greenest, and Shravan brings pilgrims to the Jalpesh temple. Homestays that stay open offer low rates.

Local tip: Keep away from riverbeds entirely; water levels change within minutes after rain in the hills.
