Tiger Hill is one of the Tourist Attractions in Darjeeling India

Few people do not want to enjoy the natural beauty and the sightseeing places of different countries.

But even if they're going to, many people must hold back because of the budget. So, Darjeeling is a perfect option for those who wish to travel abroad cheaply. There is nothing new about the particular value of Darjeeling as a tourist destination.

The city is located at 6,700 feet above sea level, so it is cool almost throughout the year. Situated at the foothills of the Himalayas, this city overlooks the scenic beauty of the world's third-highest peak, Kanchenjunga. Tea gardens are arranged on the hill slopes, the famous toy train, and the world's highest railway station 'Ghum.' So, for those who are strongly attracted by mountains and clouds, Darjeeling is the perfect destination.

You need to keep two things in mind when going to Darjeeling. First, to go to Darjeeling, you must get an Indian visa. Second, you have to keep that energy to travel on the road. Because Darjeeling cannot be directly reached by air, those who do not have a visa now but want to can select Phulbari port. You can come from Dhaka to Banglabandha in Panchagarh, pass through Phulbari immigration, and quickly reach the Siliguri Jeep Stand. Another route is through Chengrabandha through the Burimari border in the Lalmonirhat district. But in this case, going to Siliguri takes relatively longer. Distance from Banglabandha to Siliguri is less. Now, coming to Siliguri, you will get a jeep, bus, and taxi to Darjeeling. It will take you just two and a half hours to drive from Siliguri to Darjeeling.

The most famous peak in Darjeeling, Tiger Hill, is best known for its trekking routes and panoramic views of the mountains, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga. Tiger Hill can be reached by walking or car through the oldest tea plantations. Visitors from different places are advised to witness the first rays of the sun at Mt. Don't miss the opportunity to capture it on your camera, as it will be an amazingly enriching experience.

Anyone who climbs Tiger Hill in Darjeeling becomes a poet. Visit the hill just before sunrise; the view will be simply adorable. As the sun slowly rises from the horizon, it lights up the sky. Get lost in the sight of Tiger Hill, which is beyond words. Although the event lasts a few minutes, it will be a fond, lifetime memory. Face east and wait for the clouds to get brighter and brighter. The sky changes its color from purple to orange. As the sun rises from the mountains, the peaks of Kanchenjunga and Everest glow with delight. The bright ball of fire slowly rises through the hills, and the tourists will cheer loudly.

A beautiful sunrise will keep you warm throughout the day. Experience this beautiful moment of Tiger Hill with your loved one close. It would be best to consider traveling to Darjeeling in 2021, as the city is ready to welcome tourists starting July 1. When you reach the small town of Darjeeling at the foothills of the Himalayas, make sure you don't miss the sunrise at Tiger Hill.

Tiger Hill is located 11 km from Darjeeling in West Bengal. It offers a spectacular view of the sunrise at 2590 meters. It takes at least an hour to reach the city's mountains.

One of the most popular places to visit in Darjeeling is the Himalayan Railway, a narrow-gauge train track about 2 feet between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling.

I got off the bus and thought about how to get to Darjeeling. Many people said having a jeep car on a hilly road is better. Sit in a jeep. A man delivered a beautiful woman. He held up his suitcase. The seat next to me is empty. The driver respectfully seated him next to me. It appears to be Nepalese or hill Gorkhas. The state of being intoxicated by fragrance. He saw me and then sat on the seat. It felt good to see beautiful women on the mountain road. A little later the woman sat opposite me. Eyes widened. I smiled a little. I hesitated. I wondered what I was thinking in this middle age. Darjeeling asked me. I nodded yes.

The jeep started going up past Kalimpong. Hands and feet are freezing in the cold. A woman may be thinking a lot about her family and business. I also tried to stay immersed in my state. I did not understand how the time passed. The jeep stopped at the Darjeeling bus stand. We exchanged glances while exiting the jeep and went to our destinations. I got down and went to a nearby hotel. At first, I thought that I would not go to Hotel Rockbill, but I changed my mind and went to Hotel Purnima.
