The wettest month. Expect heavy rain most days, fog at Ravangla, leeches on every trail and occasional road closures. The hot springs are under the river and long walks are unwise. If you must travel, stay on main roads, base yourself in Namchi and focus on the monuments and covered sights, with monastery visits between showers.
