Nearly every traveler has Siliguri and Darjeeling on their bucket list because they are two of the top tourist destinations in India. Arun Das is one such traveler who yearns to discover these stunning destinations in this blog post-Kolkata to Darjeeling Trip. Let’s look at how Arun Das describes his experience on the Siliguri-Darjeeling trip in his own words.
Kolkata to Darjeeling Trip I enjoy spending time in nature and enjoy taking vacations there occasionally. I haven’t had much time to travel lately because of family commitments, but I’ve been itching to go to the mountains for a while. If you ask me if I prefer the beach or the mountains, I will undoubtedly respond that I like the mountains. I will eventually tire of the sight of the lush vegetation at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. As a result, I decided to cross another location off my bucket list and planned a trip by myself to Siliguri and Darjeeling.

Usually, Darjeeling has two main peak seasons for tourists – March to May and October to November. This is the time when Darjeeling gets the maximum footfall of tourists. When you want to plan your Darjeeling trip, entirely depends on what you want to experience at Darjeeling.

October to November (Autumn)
Autumn is also a good time to visit Darjeeling. The weather remains pleasant, nature is vibrant and the skies are clear. You would get great views of the snow-covered peaks during this time. but again, this is a peak season and Darjeeling will be full of tourists, both local and international.
