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.

What are you looking for in a holiday: 1. Away from noise in city 2. Away from the pollution in city and towns 3. Away from the daily hustle and crowd 4. Away from the tensions in life Well Chattakpur seems to be the idle solution to the above. As you travel to this tiny village above the 8000 ft of sea level you might regret your decision as the link roads are almost equivalent to hell. Unless you're an ornithologist, you would pray for the road to end fast though the forest else will suggest you to pull out your telephoto lens and become the next Salim Ali of India. There's no dearth of birds and butterflies around the way to Chattakpur. Once you are in the village you will be surprised to see only a handful headcount of people and houses in the vicinity but there warm welcome will make you feel homely and will make you forget the aforementioned problems in your life. The breathtaking view of the Kanchenjonga is so mesmerising from the hilltop that you will definitely decide to come over this village again and again. There's hardly any noise/air pollution here, neither life chases you to finish your deadlines. During daylight enjoy the clear view of entire Kanchenjunga and during the nights do stargazing in the clear skies above. So what are you waiting for , pack your woolens and book your tickets to New Jalpaiguri and from there reach out to Chattakpur post booking a homestay.

Starting from The Mall in Darjeeling (referred to as Chowrasta these days), if you keep to the left and take a turn around Observatory Hill in a clockwise manner, you will get maximum enjoyment of this fantastic walk. I love doing this walk twice a day a day when I am in Darjeeling.

A mesmerising place to visit and spend some quite time in the shadow of giant pine forest.. if you’re enough lucky and sky is clear, you will be able to watch the mighty mountains with white shimmery ice on the top of that in opposite site.. a man made creation could be such beautiful I didn’t have enough idea..I went there in winter.. I think winter is the best time to visit this place..

It's during our(me and my mother) stay in Darjeeling, we were taken to the Rock garden for which we were charged some extra money, as this is normally excluded from the `Darjeeling sight seeing' list. There was no entry fee taken at the gate. The Rock Garden is extremely beautiful place to visit. It has natural fountains inside, it's actually a small hill which one would love to climb. There are places to sit and relax, no one is going to disturb you. Though the arrangements were man made but the hill and the fountains are really natural. Altogether. a lovely place to visit.
