Following are the five tourist spots that are the top sightseeing spots in Darjeeling, so let’s get going:
1. Tiger Hill
On your Darjeeling Trip, you will come across different opinions on this one. Some people say it is a waste to go to Tiger Hill, while some say in favor of the hill. The reason is, that Tiger Hill is known for the surreal sunrise that can be enjoyed from this hill. It can be seen in the very early hours, between 3-4 AM, during October to November and March to May.
Apart from these months, it is nothing special considering the number of hills and the beauty of each one of them being too much.
