The monsoon arrives in early to mid June. Roads to Yuksom, Uttarey and Gangtok see slides, leeches return to forest trails, and the mountains disappear behind cloud for days. Treks close. Hotels discount heavily. We only plan June trips for travellers who are flexible and happy with green hills and waterfalls instead of views.
