Darjeeling if the hill is clear

Tiger Hill is a dark jeep and often only fog. The useful day is the tea walk and the mall when you can see.

Written by Dev

Before you go. Do not plan the whole trip around a sunrise that the cloud can cancel.

Overview

The toy train is usually a short joy ride, not the full line to the plains.

Day 1 — Arrive and look
The shared jeep from the plains. Sleep. See if Kanchenjunga is out.
Day 2 — Tea, not a list
Happy Valley or a walk above the town. One monastery.
Day 3 — Out before the fog sits
Morning jeep down. Mall Road can wait.

Stay

A simple hotel near Chowrasta so you are not in a taxi for tea. About ₹2,000.

Move

One shared seat in. Walk after that. Leave a buffer on the day you go home.
