An early start (as early as 4am) is recommended for the visit to Tiger Hill, situated around 11 km from Darjeeling. It takes about an hour to reach this miniature plateau from which to view the sun’s first rays breaking over mighty Kangchenjunga (8,586 m) and Mount Everest further into the distance.
A tourist rest house is situated here and refreshments are available, although your hotel will also supply you with a packed breakfast. From here you will walk back to Darjeeling. This scenic walk takes around two hours in total.
