Kurseong, Mirik & the tea valleys in July
The heaviest rain of the year. Landslides are common on the Kurseong roads, especially around Pagla Jhora and Tindharia, and views are rare. Mahananda sanctuary is closed to visitors in the monsoon. For a writer, a reader or a tea lover with time, a garden homestay at half-season prices can still be good. Otherwise, skip it.
Local tip: If you come, stay put in one place and check road status each morning.
