Tiger Hill is a famous viewpoint which lies inside the Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary in Darjeeling. This vantage point offers magnificent panoramic views of the Himalayas including Mt. Everest and Mt. Khangchendzonga (the 3^rd highest peak in the world).

Visitors come here to enjoy the sunrise and how it gradually lights up Mt. Khangchedzonga in golden light. Only on a clear day can you view Mt. Everest and the surrounding peaks.

You can avail telescope services here where for Rs 50 per person you can view the snowy peaks up close. The telescope provider will inform you of all the names of the peaks, so you feel like a pro at the end.

If you want a first-row spot to watch this spectacular sight, you need to be there as early as 4:00 am (the sun rises around 6 am) otherwise you’ll just end up looking at the heads of the tourists.

While you wait in the freezing cold, you can buy a cup of tea from the tea vendors that appear magically. And also get a free star show as you can witness shooting stars in the dark sky at that time.

Book a shared or private cab a day previous.
