Our pick of the year. The clearest skies of all, comfortable days, the end of the cardamom harvest and wild Himalayan cherry blossom along the Temi road. Tihar, the festival of lights, falls in late October or November. Ideal for village homestays, Tendong walks and photography, with cold but manageable nights in Ravangla.
