Overview

Standing at an altitude of 2,590 metres (8,500 ft), Tiger Hill is the highest point in Darjeeling and is internationally acclaimed for its breathtaking sunrise views over the Eastern Himalayas. On a clear morning, you can witness the first rays of the sun illuminate the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kanchenjunga (the world's third-highest peak) in shades of gold and pink. It is one of the few spots globally where you can see both Kanchenjunga and Mount Everest together. The peak is part of the Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary and serves as the summit of Ghoom, home to the highest railway station on the UNESCO-listed Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.

Smart Tips

Arrive Early: To get a prime spot at the observatory and avoid parking jams, aim to reach by 4:00 AM.

Layer Up: It is extremely cold and windy before dawn, even in summer. Carry heavy woollens, gloves, and caps.

Permit Check: Private vehicles (bikes/cars) may require a pre-arranged pass from the Darjeeling Traffic Police.

Coffee Vendors: Local vendors at the top sell hot coffee and tea, which are life-savers in the morning chill.

Weather Watch: If it's heavily cloudy or raining, the mountains will be hidden; check the Darjeeling weather forecast before starting.
