Kurseong, fondly referred to as the 'Land of White Orchids' in West Bengal, India, is a serene hill station that beckons visitors throughout the year. However, the best time to visit Dow Hill Park in Kurseong is between March and June, when the weather is pleasant and congenial for outdoor activities. During this period, the greenery of the hills is in full bloom, and the temperatures typically range from 8°C to 20°C, offering a refreshing escape from the heat of the plains. This season also witnesses the burst of the magnificent white orchids after which the town is named, along with a myriad of other flora. Trekking and exploring the dense forests and reveling in the panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges are activities best enjoyed in this season.
Alternatively, another ideal period to visit is during the months of September to November. The post-monsoon freshness adds a wash of verdant green to the landscapes, and the skies tend to be clearer, making it perfect for sightseeing and photography. The temperature during this time ranges from 10°C to 18°C, providing tourists with a comfortable climate to explore the nooks and corners of Dow Hill Park. Notably, Kurseong experiences moderate to heavy rainfall from July to August, which although lends a mystical charm to the park with misty vistas and lush settings, it can also result in travel disruptions due to landslides; hence, it's less recommended for tourists seeking unhindered access to all attractions.
