One of the most magnificent attractions of Darjeeling, Tiger Hill, is famed for its sunrise views over the Kanchenjunga range. The best time to visit Tiger Hill is during the period from October to December. This is post-monsoon season when the skies are clear, offering unobstructed views of the snow-capped Himalayas. Visitors can witness a breathtaking panorama as the first rays of the sun light up the peaks with evolving hues of orange and gold. The weather during these months is pleasantly cool, which is ideal for tourists to also enjoy the various other outdoor activities in and around Darjeeling.
Another recommended period for visiting Tiger Hill is during the early months of spring, from March to April. The hill station is less crowded, and the chill of winter is receding, making the climate comfortable for tourists to soak in the sights. In spring, the chances of a clear day are relatively high, which ensures a good probability of experiencing the majestic sunrise. However, it's important to note that during both of these optimal visiting times, it is advisable for visitors to reach the viewpoint early in the morning, as Tiger Hill tends to get crowded, and the sunrise occurs between 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM depending on the season.
