Tiger Hill, Darjeeling
The little Toy Train that puffs its way into the hills of Darjeeling is worth a visit in its own right, as are the famous tea gardens, where you can sample local produce. Tiger Hill, about 11 km from the town, offers amazing views towards Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak; on a clear day you can even spot Everest. Watching the light hit the snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya at sunrise is pretty special.
