Kurseong, Mirik & the tea valleys in November
Our favourite month. Crowds thin after Diwali, mornings are reliably clear and oranges start to colour in Sittong and around Mirik. It is the best time for walks between Dow Hill and Chimney and for birding at Latpanchar. Nights get cold enough for a jacket, and homestays begin offering winter discounts later in the month.
Local tip: Buy oranges from the orchard owner, not the roadside; they are cheaper and fresher.
