November	5/5	November is Bhalukpong's crown jewel. Pakhui Tiger Reserve hits its stride — trails are dry, animals are active, hornbills and elephants are almost guaranteed.
December	5/5	December keeps Bhalukpong at peak. The cool air makes safari walks pleasant, the Kameng is rafting-perfect, and the forest canopy is open enough for spectacular birdwatching.
