Visiting Dow Hill in Kurseong poses an enchanting experience to travelers owing much to its lush green landscapes and pleasant climate throughout the year. However, the best time to visit Dow Hill is during the spring months from March to May, when the weather is mild, and the natural scenery is in its full bloom. This season allows visitors to enjoy the warmth of the sun with a cool breeze, making it perfect for exploring the verdant hills, tea gardens and the famous Dow Hill School without the discomfort of heavy rains or cold winters. The temperature during this season ranges from 10°C to 20°C, which is ideal for outdoor activities such as trekking, sightseeing, and picnicking amidst the breathtaking views of the Himalayas.
Another favorable period to explore Dow Hill is in the autumn months from September to November. After the monsoon season, the skies clear up presenting spectacular views of the lush surroundings. It is a great time for photographers and nature lovers to capture the essence of Kurseong's spectacular beauty. The cool yet comfortable climate makes for an enjoyable experience. Nevertheless, visitors should be mindful that evenings can get a bit chilly, so carrying light woolens is advisable. Outside these optimal visiting times, monsoon (June to September) brings heavy rain, which might lead to slippery roads and unpredictable landslides, while winter (December to February) blankets the area in colder temperatures, which, while still beautiful, may limit accessibility to certain outdoor attractions.
