A beautiful building built in the British era surrounded by endless green well maintained gardens interspersed with small water bodies will lift the hearts of everyone. The children can enjoy the endless gardens while the grown ups can add to the experience by visiting the museum. If u are visiting from another city make sure to keep a full day aside for a complete experience.

Kanchenjunga Mountain

Reviewed By UNCLESAM911 - Muscat, Oman

Seeing the sunrise kissing the peak of the mountain is a must if you can bear the pain of getting up early at 4 AM to be able to reach the tiger point to catch a glimpse of the sunray bursting out over horizon setting the peak literally on fire with all visitors across furiously clicking to capture the savoury moment for posterity . It is one feeling that lingers on in some dingy corner of your brain and your mind will scream for more.

Eco Tourism Park

Reviewed By anirbanmdr - Bardhaman District, India

It takes a lot of time to visit all the places. We visited replicas of seven wonders, Mask park, rose garden, musical fountain, replica of Ghoom station, Mist garden, tropical gardens, Rain garden, Butterfly fountain, rose garden, formal garden, wild flowers garden and replica of Eiffel Tower. By the time we reached Japanese gardens it was well past 7 and counter was closed. It is so big here that you can easily lose your way, specially in night.

Tiger Hill

Reviewed By FARHANA128 - Gangtok, India

Tiger hill is famous for sunrise view, as on your right hand side there is sunrise hue is coming up in sky and its first rays touches Kachenjunga mountain on your left side gives you different shades. Very mesmerising view as one side is golden above horizon and below Darjeeling still in dark with glittering night lights. But for getting this experience one has to leave his bed very early in morning and lucky enough to have get crystal clear weather.
