About About the place

Tiger Hill is a prominent ridge near Darjeeling, renowned as a vantage point for witnessing the sunrise over Mount Kanchenjunga and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Visitors ascend the hill early in the morning, often before dawn, to secure a good viewing spot. The experience is highly weather-dependent, with clear skies being essential for optimal visibility. The area features multiple observation decks, ranging in price, and is often crowded, especially during peak season. While the sunrise is the primary draw, the panoramic views of the Himalayas are also a significant attraction. The site is accessible by road, though traffic congestion can be a challenge.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

We booked a tour package and thought that this would be a good way to see all the major sites of the city but it turned out to be nothing great. The tour bus stopped at all places but had not much time to make us roam around the area. Seemed like they were in a rush all the time and were not good with the local knowledge and culture. It was also expensive, which was not a great thing.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

We decided to visit this place and I think that because it was the weekend, it was too crowded. We were not able to have a good tour since so many people were there and it was not a very nice experience. The place seemed good but I guess the crowd ruined it for us.

We booked this place online after reading several good reviews on the side. Everything was awesome here but the staff was a bit rude and not at all helpful. Since we had no idea about the place, we tried asking them but it was no help. The hotel and amenities are all good though. It was a decent stay.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.. This is a must visit place in the city and it is beautiful. The place is centrally located and you can easily reach it. The stories and the facts of this place are very interesting and make way for an entertaining tour.

I had to stay at this hotel last day because I got stuck here for some work. So I had no advance booking done or anything of that sort but these people were so nice to accommodate me on last minute things and also updated my room to better and made sure I had a good stay. The staff was very friendly and it was an unbelievable experience and I will definitely visit again.. If there is one way to describe my visit, it would be unbelievable. This place was just extraordinarily amazing and beautiful. The gorgeous locations, the history associated with the places, the super fun tourist spots, the delicious cuisine, warm and friendly people and to top it all, the kind hospitality we received, I am just so happy and joyful about my vacation here.. Our trip to this magnificent city was unbelievable. We had a wonderful time enjoying the various beautiful sites of the city. The location and the scenery here is stunning and the people are warm and welcoming. We stayed at this beautiful place where everyone made our time special. The local cuisine is a must try.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!. This is one of the most iconic and interesting buildings of the city where the architecture of this place speaks volume of its importance. It is a great place to visit and its tour throws some light on the history and working of this place.

The hotel is very well built and is clean and nice.The room was big and cozy and comfortable and the views from the room are just stunning and beautiful. We got the beach view and it was amazing.. This would be without a doubt the best point to witness the majestic Kanchenjunga range. People have made it into a little tourist spot where you can hire a traditional dress and get a photograph or rent a binoculars to see the mountains perfectly. It was quite a fascinating experience and we love it.
