VerdictThink twiceWeatherPelling about 15–21 °C, heavy rain most days

The wettest stretch of the year. Waterfalls on the Yuksom road are at their fullest, the tea at Temi is lush and the valleys very green, but views are rare and roads unpredictable. Only for patient travellers with flexible plans and a taste for misty forest.

Local tip: Carry salt or leech socks for any forest walk and check road status each morning.
