Season-by-Season Bike Riding Guide Around Siliguri

 

Spring (March – April)

Verdict: Excellent for bike trips

• Temperature: 15°C – 28°C
• Vibe: Blossoming trees, crisp air, post-winter freshness
• Best Routes: Siliguri to Kalimpong, Sevoke Road, Sukna Forest
• What to Carry: Light jacket, sunglasses, camera

Why it’s great: Visibility is clear, mornings are cool, and traffic is manageable. One of the top seasons for photography and peaceful rides.

 

Summer (May – June)

Verdict:  Good, but only early mornings

• Temperature: 25°C – 38°C (hot afternoons)
• Vibe: Dusty plains, dry forest patches
• Best Routes: Early morning Siliguri to Mirik, Lataguri forest zones
• What to Carry: Water, full-sleeve shirt, riding gloves

Tip: Start your ride by 5:30 AM and wrap it up before 10 AM to avoid heat. Hills are pleasant, but Siliguri plains get hot.

 

Monsoon (July – September)

Verdict:  Ride only with caution

• Temperature: 22°C – 30°C
• Vibe: Green and fresh, but wet and slippery roads
• Best Routes: Short forest rides near Sevoke, offbeat routes near Teesta
• What to Carry: Raincoat, waterproof gloves, bike cover, extra socks

Caution: Landslides are common on Darjeeling routes. Avoid long hill rides unless you're experienced. Still, perfect for nature lovers who like rain rides.

 

Autumn (October – November)

Verdict: The best season for long rides

• Temperature: 12°C – 25°C
• Vibe: Clear skies, festive energy, golden forests
• Best Routes: Siliguri to Darjeeling, Gangtok, Kalimpong, North Bengal circuit
• What to Carry: Riding jacket, GoPro, camera mount

Why it’s great: Dashain, Diwali, and Durga Puja make the roads festive, the weather is cool, and views are crystal clear.

 

Winter (December – February)

Verdict:  Chilly but scenic – ideal for rugged riders

• Temperature: 8°C – 20°C (colder in hills)
• Vibe: Misty mornings, clear days, snow in high altitudes
• Best Routes: Siliguri to Darjeeling, Tiger Hill, Kurseong
• What to Carry: Warm jacket, thermal gloves, windproof gear

Bonus: Sunrise bike rides in winter are surreal. Also, fewer tourists = quieter roads.
