Sunrise at Tiger Hill
If you want to witness the first rays of sun hitting the twin peaks of Kangchenjunga, along with a panoramic view of Everest peeping through the peaks standing by its side, then Tiger Hills make for a perfect sunrise viewing point for you. Perhaps the splendid sunrise through the peaks is what makes it one of the must - visit points here in Darjeeling. The summit of Ghoom is the highest point of Tiger hill. It is famous for the amazingly beautiful view of the Mount Everest and Mount Kanchenjunga. The first shot of sunlight at dawn makes the tip of the snow clad mountain in pale orange, a sight not worth missing. The gradual appearance of the morning sun disperses a gentle orange light to the shadowy hills, which turns into a blazing yellow brightness in a matter of minutes. Don't forget to commemorate the trip with some snacks from local shops nearby, where women wearing traditional clothing dish out the most delectable 'pakoras', 'samosas' and tea.
