Good to know
Is June a good time to visit Dooars and the Terai?
The monsoon arrives in early June. National parks and sanctuaries close from 16 June to 15 September for the breeding season and because forest roads wash out. Before the 15th, safaris still run in wet conditions. After that, the Dooars are best seen from the train window: tea gardens in full green and rivers in spate. Not a month to plan a wildlife trip.
What is the weather like in Dooars and the Terai in June?
Lataguri 24–32 °C, heavy rain from mid-month. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in Dooars and the Terai in June?
We suggest Siliguri (NJP and Bagdogra), Mahananda Sanctuary and Sevoke. If you are passing through Siliguri, the Coronation Bridge and Sevoke river views are at their most dramatic now.
