Spring arrives. Rhododendrons start to bloom at Barsey from mid-March, beginning with the lower trees around Hilley, and magnolias flower across the district. Days are warm, with some haze in the afternoons and occasional showers, but mornings are often clear enough for Kangchenjunga. Okhrey's homestays fill from the second half of the month.
