Kalimpong in July
West Bengal, India
Heavy monsoon rains frequently close mountain roads, stranding travellers for days
July is Kalimpong at its most alive and most inaccessible. Wild orchids bloom in forests you can't reach because trails are leech-infested and roads wash out. Nature's cruel irony.

| February | 6.0/10 | Late winter, early spring stirring |
| March | 8.0/10 | Spring — orchid season begins |

| Julyviewing | 4.0/10 | Peak monsoon |
| August | 4.0/10 | Peak monsoon |

| November | 8.0/10 | November is Kalimpong at its most tranquil. |
| December | 6.0/10 | December Kalimpong does Christmas properly — it has a significant Christian population. |
