The wettest stretch. Road closures on NH10 and slides on NH310 are common, and Tsomgo and Nathu La trips are often cancelled at short notice. Martam's terraces are planted and bright green, and waterfalls such as Bakthang and Banjhakri are full. Short trips around Gangtok work; the high road is a gamble.
