South Sikkim in April
Namchi 13–24 °C, Ravangla 8–18 °C, warm, afternoon showers
One of the best months for nature. Rhododendrons and magnolias flower in the upper forests, satyr tragopans call on Maenam and Temi's first flush continues. Kitam is still good for dawn birding before it gets hot. Afternoon clouds and occasional showers arrive, so plan walks and views for the morning. Comfortable for families and seniors.
