May to June is considered one of the best times to visit Gorumara National Park for wildlife spotting. Located in the Dooars region of North Bengal, this park’s dense forests and open grasslands come alive during the pre-monsoon summer months, offering excellent visibility and increased chances of encountering animals in the wild.
As temperatures rise during these months, water becomes scarce in the deeper forest areas. This drives animals like elephants, Indian one-horned rhinoceroses, bison, deer, and even leopards to frequent the park’s open grasslands and watering holes — especially near rivers like Murti and Jaldhaka. Watchtowers such as Jatraprasad and Rhino Point provide perfect vantage spots to observe this natural activity.
Another reason May–June is ideal for wildlife spotting is the thinning foliage. The dry weather causes trees and shrubs to shed leaves, reducing forest density and making animals easier to spot, particularly during early morning and late afternoon safaris.
Though the weather can be warm and humid, it is manageable with light clothing and proper hydration. With fewer tourists compared to peak seasons and a high probability of animal sightings, May–June offers a thrilling and rewarding jungle experience at Gorumara National Park.
