Kanchenjunga Mountain

Reviewed By UNCLESAM911 - Muscat, Oman

Seeing the sunrise kissing the peak of the mountain is a must if you can bear the pain of getting up early at 4 AM to be able to reach the tiger point to catch a glimpse of the sunray bursting out over horizon setting the peak literally on fire with all visitors across furiously clicking to capture the savoury moment for posterity . It is one feeling that lingers on in some dingy corner of your brain and your mind will scream for more.

Mahakal Temple

Reviewed By Madhuwanderlust17

We visited in December 2019. The menace of monkeys have lessened. The road leading from the mall is quite steep and a long walk. There are uncountable number of prayer flags around the temple and one can get a nice view of the lower ground through the thick canopy of these flags and trees. There's also a place near the temple door to keep shoes and slippers.

A mesmerising place to visit and spend some quite time in the shadow of giant pine forest.. if you’re enough lucky and sky is clear, you will be able to watch the mighty mountains with white shimmery ice on the top of that in opposite site.. a man made creation could be such beautiful I didn’t have enough idea..I went there in winter.. I think winter is the best time to visit this place..

Tiger Hill

Reviewed By FARHANA128 - Gangtok, India

Tiger hill is famous for sunrise view, as on your right hand side there is sunrise hue is coming up in sky and its first rays touches Kachenjunga mountain on your left side gives you different shades. Very mesmerising view as one side is golden above horizon and below Darjeeling still in dark with glittering night lights. But for getting this experience one has to leave his bed very early in morning and lucky enough to have get crystal clear weather.
