Best Time: The hill stations experiences rainfall throughout much of the year. But from late March (as it warms up) through the beginning of May enjoys the most sunshine as well as October/November. Monsoons typically create mudslides and road closings so they're probably best avoided.

July thru August (Monsoons)
10°C - 30°C (50°F - 86°F)
September thru February (Winter)
0°C - 15°C (32°F - 59°F)


Getting to Kolkatta

Kolkatta (Calcutta) is one of the easiest India hubs to reach - via Air, Rail, or Bus...anything and everyone eventually goes to Kolkatta. Book a train from most anywhere, fly in domestically or internationally, take the roadway and enjoy the scenery.


Dining options on the East India Hill Station Tour

Hotel cuisine in Darjeeling and Gangtok is often quite varied and wonderfully prepared...but don't miss out on the Momo Shacks up in the mountains. Kolkatta offers just about every thing imaginable but their local chaat specialities should not be missed.
