Kurseong, Mirik & the tea valleys in February
Days warm up and the air stays mostly dry, though haze from the plains creeps in late in the month. Tea gardens are pruned and bare, which is not the best time for factory visits, but the walking is good. Losar, the Tibetan New Year, usually falls in February or March and is marked at Bokar Monastery in Mirik. A good month for budget travellers who want quiet roads and low homestay prices.
Local tip: Losar dates follow the Tibetan lunar calendar, so check the date for the year before you plan around it.
