WHEN TO GO

Though crowded during April-May, the holiday season, your visit wouldn’t be disappointing, thanks to the comfortable weather. The Kanchenjunga ranges are more clearly visible during Oct-March, which makes it the best time to visit. If you want to experience the snow, visit during the months of Jan-Feb.
