Best Time to Visit Darjeeling for a One Day Tour
All around the year, darjeeling is a gret place to explore for its charming vibe. But, during the summer season, which falls between March and June, is the time when the Queen of Hills truly sparkles under the cobalt-blue bright skies, with a gentle, cool and crisp breeze, which makes the weather perfect for strolling down the streets, gazing and exploring some of the colonial architecture.
The autumn season, which falls between October and November, welcomes tourists with scintillating views of sunrise, which casts its crimson rays on the snow-dusted peaks. Also, if you are a fan of winter, then the best time to visit Darjeeling would be between December and February, when Darjeeling turns into a magic winterland.
However, it is best to avoid the monsoon season, which falls between July to September, due to frequent heavy rainfall and high frequency of roadblocks due to landslides. However, the charm of the Queen of Hills is always in full bloom!
