Autumn is the season many travellers wait for. Once the monsoon clears, October and November bring crisp mornings, blue skies and the clearest views of Kanchenjunga all year.It is ideal for viewpoint sunrises, village walks and long drives through the hills, and the Dooars forests reopen for safaris. This is also festival time, so book early for Durga Puja and Diwali dates.Our top picks for an autumn trip are below.
