Seasons and terrain
Travel windows and altitude notes
Spring brings blossoms to the lower valleys, while autumn offers clear skies across the higher regions. Each destination differs in terrain and preparation.
Spring blossoms
Lower valleys and tea-garden hillsides often bloom in spring, with mild daytime conditions suited to walking and scenic drives.
Clear autumn skies
Autumn typically offers clearer mountain views and settled weather, useful for planning long road journeys between regions.
Altitude and packing
Higher elevations call for layered clothing, sun protection and time to acclimatise. Confirm conditions with us before finalising dates.
