Warm and increasingly humid, with pre-monsoon storms. The upper Barsey forest can still be in flower early in the month, but lower down the bloom is over and haze often hides the mountains. Prices fall after the April rush. It is a pleasant month for homestay stays and birding if you accept limited views.
