The short answer
When to go to Kokrajhar
November to March is the best window: dry, clear and comfortable, with migratory birds on the wetlands. Mid-April brings the Baukhungri Festival but also humidity and rain. June to August is heavy monsoon, when forest tracks become muddy and slow. For older travellers, the cool mornings from December to February are the easiest for walks and long drives.
