FestivalFirst flush tea season in Darjeeling
The year's most prized picking. Estates run tastings and factory tours, and the pre-monsoon skies give the clearest Kanchenjunga views.
Can fall in March or April. It keeps roughly the same place in the calendar each year, but confirm this year’s dates before booking.
