Tiger Hill

Catch the enigmatic sunrise and mountain views from the effervescent Tiger Hill

When you are completely worn-out of your mundane lifestyle Darjeeling Holidays could come your way as a refreshing escapade! Utterly popular around the world, Darjeeling Holidays can provide you that much needed break for which you have been longing all this while.

Come to the hill station of Darjeeling and see how Mother Nature takes different strides to captivate your senses! Visit the world famous Tiger Hill and experience the picturesque panorama that it unfolds before your eyes. The trip to the summit of the Tiger Hill crosses the region of Ghum that houses the renowned UNESCO protected, ‘Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway Station’.

Located 11 kms from the main town of Darjeeling, Tiger Hill nestles charmingly at a height of 2,555 meters above sea level, exuding blissful views of sunrise and the surrounding mountain ranges.

Make sure to visit the Tiger Hill when the weather is clear and cloudless. Otherwise, all you will get is an obfuscating view of the sun as well as the surrounding mountain ranges under the shadow of the purple haze.

Soothe your sanity while witnessing the fast retreating shimmer of the hours of darkness as you find yourself caught in the glory of nature! As you wait to capture the much famed glorious sunrise of the Tiger Hill, the mountains covered with sparkling diamond frosts, plunged in serenity and hush saturates in the chilling cold.  

The first sunrays of the dawning sun shoots ahead, illuminating the Kanchenjunga massif into a 24 carat gold hump, making it more visible. As the sun goes higher it paints the entire frosty range with a gorgeous auburn shade. Hold on to your breath for the remarkable sight when the world’s highest peak the Mt. Everest (29,035 ft) peeps through the other sister peaks of Makalu (27,765 ft) standing majestically by its side!

Illusionary, it will seem that Everest is smaller than its sister peaks. But this phenomenon crop-up since Everest is located far beyond them. The distance between Tiger Hill and Mt. Everest in a straight line is about 170 kilometers. With the dazzling sun rising and shining high in the sky, catch lucid glimpses of the hill station of Kurseong to the south.

Amidst the misty cloud, the meandering rivers of Mahanady, Teesta, Mechi and Balasun flowing down to the southern region looks just like sparkling bands of silver. To the north-east, Tibet’s Chumal Rhi rests in peace which is the world’s most fascinating mountain and is about 84 kms from Tiger Hill. Bulging over the snowy Chola Ranges, Chumal Rhi’s virgin beauty is awe-inspiring!

Someone righteously said that- no other place in this world can substitute the delightful vistas of the Taj Mahal in a full moon night and the sunrise from the Tiger Hill. A traveler who has missed out on these two pleasures can’t lend to any alternate!
