One of the best months. The air is washed clean after the monsoon, Kangchenjunga is clear most mornings from Rinchenpong and Kaluk, and paddy harvest begins in Tharpu and Daramdin. The Durga Puja and Diwali holidays bring families from Bengal, so the ridge villages are busy in those weeks; outside them it is calm.
