Watching the sunrise from Tiger Hill is an unforgettable experience. The hill is famous for its panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest. The sunrise view is best experienced from the observation deck and is a great way to start your day in Darjeeling. Get here early to secure a good spot as it gets crowded quickly.
Located on a hill, the zoo is home to several rare and endangered species such as the snow leopard, red panda, and Siberian tiger. The zoo also has a breeding program for the endangered Himalayan wolf. Spend a few hours exploring the zoo and learning about these beautiful animals.
A popular breakfast spot, Keventer's also serves delicious sandwiches and burgers for lunch. The restaurant has a colonial charm and offers a great view of the city. We recommend trying their special Keventer's Club Sandwich and hot chocolate.
Learn about the history of mountaineering in the Himalayas and the first successful Everest expedition at the museum. The institute offers mountaineering courses and has a museum with mountaineering gear, equipment, and photographs. You can also see the Everest Museum and Tenzing Norgay's memorabilia here.
One of the oldest cafes in Darjeeling, Glenary's is famous for its tea and pastries. The cafe has a charming ambiance with a view of the mountains. We recommend trying their Darjeeling tea and chocolate truffle pastry.
The Japanese Peace Pagoda is a symbol of peace and harmony. The pagoda offers a panoramic view of the city and the mountains. You can also enjoy the serene ambiance and meditate here. The sunset view from the pagoda is also breathtaking.
Don't miss the Batasia Loop, a spiral railway track that offers a scenic view of the mountains and the city. The loop is located 3 kilometers from the zoo. You can also take a ride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The train ride offers stunning views of the Himalayas and the tea plantations.
