The short answer
When to go to Jampui Hills
October to February is the best window, with clear skies, long views and cool, comfortable days; November adds the orange harvest and festival. From September to December clouds often fill the valleys and rise over the ridge, which many visitors come to see. March is pleasant but hazier, and from April to September heavy rain makes roads slow and paths slippery. The figures shown are India Meteorological Department normals for Kailashahar, the nearest station with published data, which lies in the plains; the Jampui ridge, at around 900-1,000 m, is noticeably cooler, especially at night.
