Rainfall is at its lowest in these months. Skies are clear and visibility is fantastic.

Both private and shared taxis are available throughout the day.<\/p>\n You will also find buses plying from Tenzing Norway Bus Terminal on Hill Cart Road in Siliguri.<\/p>\n The journey from Siliguri is mesmerizing. In the first half of the journey, you will travel on NH10 through the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary. The forests are dense and form a natural habitat for many wild animals like tiger, bison and elephant.<\/p>\n Among many sights and sounds of the forest, you might spot a deer fleeing past your jeep, a majestic elephant crossing the way in front or a bison walking away unperturbed by the intrusion of humans. Your driver will be careful not to honk in this part of the journey so as to maintain the calm and composure of the sanctuary.<\/p>\n At Sevok, the sanctuary will give way to a massive river basin, hilly terrain and a boisterous Teesta River. The forested landscape will transform into a hilly area with sharp turns and hairpin bends. You will cruise alongside the river at varying altitudes.<\/p>\n The last phase of the journey begins from Teesta Bazaar. A sharp turn uphill from this point will lead you to the town. You will no longer be able to view the Teesta River when you are around the town.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This city welcomes thousands of tourists each year in the peak seasons. It goes without saying that the hill station is dotted with hotels and homestays of all types and budget ranges. You will also find comfortable inns to put up at. These inns are surrounded on all sides by mountains and dense forestland. However, they are also equipped with all modern amenities.<\/p>\n If you want to opt for luxurious stays, then you could choose from 3-star hotels that have lavish rooms with a view, express service, car rental services and all the latest amenities and rooftop restaurants to dine in.

Kanchenjunga and Teesta River.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luxury at its best<\/p>\n Yet another option that you might come across is putting up at homestays. While the top-notch hotels in here offer all kinds of amenities, the homestays are humbler options. However, it is bound to feel like your second home.<\/p>\n Generally, families run homestays and they do their best to cater to all the needs of the tourists.<\/p>\n The best part of staying in a homestay is the fact that you get to relish the local flavour and cuisine like you might never have done before. You might even learn a couple of things about the local dishes since homestays often invite tourists to come inside the kitchen and watch the food being prepared.<\/p>\n The food is cheaper and filled with the love of a homemade meal.<\/p>\n Usual services are also significantly cheaper in a homestay. However, it is up to you to decide whether you would prefer all the amenities and stay in the comfort of a hotel or compromise a bit on the accommodation and enjoy the local culture of the place.<\/p>\n We also have a couple of options for homestays if that is what you are looking for:<\/p>\n The Best Homestay in Lolegaon<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The serene view of River Teesta and Kanchenjunga<\/p>\n Although this is a smaller hill station in comparison to Darjeeling, it still has a number of tourist spots to visit. 5 out of these places should definitely be on your bucket list:<\/p>\n Deolo Hill is significant in terms of tourist attraction.
