Peak rhododendron month. The Barsey ridge is usually at its most colourful, with red, pink and white blossom along the trail from Hilley. Mornings are the time for views; cloud and showers build most afternoons. It is the busiest month in Okhrey and Hilley, especially around the Bengali new year in mid-April, and prices rise a little.
