What is the best time to visit Darjeeling?

The best time to plan Darjeeling is in the months of March to June, when the climate is pleasant. However, snow lovers prefer to travel from September to December during the winter season when the weather is pleasant, clear skies, and snow-capped Himalayas are clearly visible. In the months of July to August, due to heavy rainfall and road blockages, we didn’t recommend traveling. Except for the rainy season, Darjeeling is an ideal destination throughout the year.
