Tiger Hill is located about 7 miles from the Darjeeling Town and a couple of miles above Ghoom. The highest point in Darjeeling, situated at an altitude of 8482 feet above sea level tiger hill has earned international fame for the magnificent view of the sunrise over “ Kanchenjunga” and the great Eastern Himalayan Mountains. The way to reach Tiger Hill goes through the Senchal road, a narrow uphill path which offers a stunning view of the Senchal lake.
The sunrise usually begins around 5 am and hence it is suggested to be there at the spot by around 4:15. The observation deck located at the top of the hill offers the 360° view of the exotic peaks of the Eastern Himalaya including the majestic Mount Everest.
