Kalimpong, Lava & Lolegaon in October
The clear season begins. The air is washed after the monsoon and Kanchenjunga stands on the skyline most mornings. Dashain and Durga Puja, then Tihar, fill the hills with families and with festival life. Book rooms, jeeps and homestays well ahead for the holiday weeks. Rafting at Teesta Bazar usually restarts when the river drops.
Local tip: Book October holiday weeks a month or more in advance, especially in Lava and Lolegaon.
