Darjeeling & Kalimpong in June
The first half of June is still busy with school holidays; the monsoon usually reaches the hills by mid-June and rain rises sharply. Second flush plucking continues. Views of the snow peaks become rare, but the forests turn very green. Landslides start to block roads. Neora Valley National Park closes for the monsoon, and Sandakphu treks wind down.
