During these months, the weather is pleasant, with clear skies offering stunning views of the Himalayas. Spring brings vibrant rhododendron blooms, while autumn provides crisp, clear air and comfortable temperatures. Monsoon season (June to August) should be avoided due to heavy rains and potential landslides, and winter (December to February) can be quite cold, especially in higher altitudes, though it offers beautiful snow-covered landscapes.

2. What kind of clothing should I pack for this trip?

Ans: Given the varied weather conditions across Gangtok, Pelling, and Darjeeling, packing layers is essential. Light woolens and a warm jacket are necessary for cooler evenings and early mornings, especially if visiting during spring or autumn. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring hilly terrain. Don't forget rain gear if you're traveling during the shoulder months when occasional showers are possible. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also recommended to protect against strong mountain sun.

3. Are there any special permits required for this tour?
