Kurseong, Mirik & the tea valleys in April
Warm, green and busy in the gardens. First flush is in full swing, birdlife at Latpanchar is active and the forests around Dow Hill fill with new leaf. Afternoon thunderstorms start late in the month. School holidays in the plains push up prices in Mirik and Kurseong around mid-April, so book early. A good month for tea and birds, less so for mountain views.
Local tip: Go to Latpanchar at dawn; hornbills are most active before 9 am.
