Kalimpong, Lava & Lolegaon in May
Peak season for families from the plains, especially in Kalimpong town and Lava. Afternoon showers begin, and views are often hidden by midday. The higher villages stay pleasant when the plains are hot: Rishyap, Charkhole and Lolegaon are cool at night. Book ahead for weekends, and watch for the first landslides late in the month.
Local tip: Pick a ridge village over town in May; it is cooler and less crowded.
