The Dooars & Siliguri in September

VerdictThink twiceWeatherPlains 24–31 °C, rain easing late

Rain continues through most of the month and parks reopen from about 16 September, though grass is tall and sightings harder. Karam may fall in September. Late-month weekends can be good value for tea garden homestays. Check current status before you travel, since floods and repairs can delay reopening.

Local tip: If parks have just reopened, choose watchtowers over jeep routes; grass hides animals.
