Darjeeling Trekking in August

oscarsanhueza

Hello everyone, i am planning a trip to India in August and I would like (Actually i desperately NEED) your advices.

The itinerary v1.0 it is this one:

1-Fly from Finland to DELHI, be in DELHI on 8 of august.
2-DELHI-ACRA by Train 1 DAY (just see the TAI MAHAL)
3-AGRA-KALKUTA bt Train 1 NIGHT
4-KALKUTA 2 days
5-KALKUTA-DARJEELING (TOY TRAIN)
6 And the mother of all my fears and questions:

I am a lover of trekking and mountains and with my girlfriend want to make some trekking in Darjeeling Zone. I have hear and read either GOOD and BAD comments about go there in the middle of august ("is the fag end of the monsoon, so, expect to have some rain but not so much"), we plans to stay there for at least 8-10 days and make 5-6-7 days trekking.

Do you recommend this season? is it too....risky? i am used to the bad weather, I LEAVE IN FINLAND, but i don't want to be walking trekking with monsoon all the 6 days and without any possibility to see the wonderful view because of the weather.

SO, 8 days in Darjeeling Area

9-Coming back to Kalkuta, and flying to GOA AREA
10- Expend another 10 days laying in the beach, if is possible to take some surf courses THE BEST. Or even i imagine some dune paraglide flying THE BEST OF THE BEST.

11-Flying back to DELHI and then to FINLAND and reality.

So, do you have any recommendations, I put my itinerary here because why i most interested is in the weather for this trekking and i wouldn't like to ruin 10 or 12 days in darjeeling just because be stubborn

THANK YOU ALL
