Kalimpong, Lava & Lolegaon in March
Spring. Magnolias and rhododendrons flower in the forests around Lava and Rishyap, the nurseries of Kalimpong are in bloom, and the mornings are still often clear. Birding in Neora Valley picks up as species move uphill. Prices are moderate before the school holidays. A fine month for village homestays and forest walks.
Local tip: Go for viewpoints at dawn; by late March haze often hides the peaks by 10 am.
