Tiger Hill, Darjeeling

 

 

Tiger Hill is spotted in Darjeeling, in West Bengal in India, and is the summit of Ghoom, the most noteworthy line station in the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is renowned for its tremendous surrounding perspective of Mount Everest and Mount Kangchenjunga together, and first light is the best time to witness this wonder.

 

It is around 10-12 km from the town of Darjeeling and can be arrived at either by car or by foot through Chowrasta, Alubari or Jorebangla and afterward scaling the slope to the summit, which takes around 2 hours at a simple pace. The principal beams of the sun shoot ahead and shed light on the twin tops of Kangchenjunga painting it pink and after that showering it in an excellent orange color. From Tiger Hill, Mount Everest (8848m) is simply unmistakable, peeping out through two different crests remaining by its side. Makalu (8481m) looks higher than Mt. Everest, owing to the bend in the skyline, as it is a few miles closer than Everest. The separation in straight line from Tiger Hill to Everest is 108 miles.

 

On a sunny morning, Kurseong is obvious to the south and out yonder, alongside Teesta River, Mahanada River, Balason River and Mechi River wandering down to the south. Chumal Rhi pile of Tibet, 84 miles away from point A to point B, resembles an extraordinary adjusted mass over the cold Chola Range. One candidly encounters this top of wonderful excellence from Phari Jong which is 128 miles far from Darjeeling. While at Tiger Hill, you can likewise visit Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, which offers incredible excursion spots, and its two simulated lakes serve as a store for supply of water to Darjeeling town.
