Beautiful view of sunrise better than the crowded Tiger Hill I suppose.. we could see the lights falling on kanchenjunga and changing the colour of the mountain. From the 1st ray hitting the tip of Kanchenjunga to the full mountain being lit up we had a wonderful view. It was very less crowded and some locals worshipping the sun. It was a lifetime experience. I am sharing here the mobile photographs only.

This place is known for his own nature beauty.🙂 You can see Kangchenjunga from this place!❤️ It is also called as Observatory Hill View Point Which is in Darjeeling!❤️

If I have to rank places to visit in Darjeeling I will always rank this as No 1. The beautiful expanse of the snow fed mountains is like a dream. Trust me one is not required to go to Tiger hill at 4 am unless otherwise someone have to take a picture of sunrise. This observatory is good enough to enjoy the view of Kanchenjunga all through the day when the skies are clear. I can sit and spend the whole day sitting here as the canvas keeps changing as the moving clouds play hide and seek with the sun. No entry fees to a was this site. From here the mall road is about - 150 metres walk

One of the best location to enjoy the sunrise view of Mt. Kanchenjunga. At present observatory is under construction. Still you can get the best glimpse from here.

Do visit this viewpoint when in Darjeeling. Take a walk from Darjeeling mall to Observatory Hill View Point in the morning. This is the place where you can sit for hours and enjoy the majestic view of Kanchenjunga. Highly recommend if you're visiting Darjeeling.

It's a beautiful place if you can visit this place mostly in the morning. One can get a picturesque sight of Kanchunjangha peak very clearly... During the evening if you decide to visit then be ready to get a lot of people gathered there...

Clouds drift over Darjeeling hills Like soft and silent cotton mills They weave a blanket of misty white To cover the town in gentle light

The beautiful mountains will give your eyes real pleasure if you are fortunate enough to be there on a sunny day. Most of the time it is crowded with tourists.

Observatory hill is situated at one end of the Mall of Darjeeling, lovingly called the Queen of the Hills. The Observatory hill is famous for some up-end hotels and some good view points, but the most important spot there is a temple complex, the most popular of which is the Mahakal temple which is a superb example of religious harmony. There are two paths to climb the Observatory Hill - one is a lengthier motorable road on the northern side of the hill, the other a shorter but rather steep path for the pedestrians on the eastern side of the hill. The temples: 1. Mahakal temple : As told above, this is the most important temple here, dedicated to Lord Mahakal (a manifestation of Lord Shiva) as well as a manifestation of Lord Buddha. In the sanctum there is the deity Mahakal, three brass covered Lingam representing Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar, and a statue of Lord Buddha. Interestingly, there are two sets of priests, one Hindu and the other Buddhist, and it is a custom to be followed by the devotees to offer Puja to Lord Buddha first. There are colourful flags all over the place, and the Buddhist Prayer Wheel. In front of the temple, there is a statue of Mandi the Bull, the Vahana of Lord Shiva. 2. Ganesha temple : There is a small temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha just in front of the main temple. 3. Durga temple. 4. Mahakali temple. 5. Kirateshwar Shiva temple. 6. Mahakal cave which is the abode of "Saat Kanya" (Seven Daughters - actually Sapta Matrika or Seven Mothers) and Mahakal Shiva. 7. A temple dedicated to Sai Baba. 8. A temple dedicated to Lord Hanumana. The hill offers some beautiful view points from where excellent views of the surrounding and the majestic Kanchenjunga, the 3rd highest peak in the world. In fact, the Kanchenjunga range is dubbed "The Sleeping Buddha", as the range extending from Mount Kabru South to Mount Pandim looks like as if a huge man is reclining in the supine position.

The tea plants in December weren't visible and the place was very crowded. However the view was excellent and if you happen to go on a non-cloudy day then you'll be lucky enough to see Mt. Kunchenjunga from here. There are many stalls to purchase Darjeeling tea over here at low costs. However, in terms of tea gardens it's best to visit the offbeat locations (Eg. Singhmari) rather than here.

There You can See Kanchanjanghaa pick View in Morning time.. There also have a beautiful Restaurant.. Also available Sitting place.. I personally like this place.

People mention a lot of places that provide a gorgeous view of the Kanchenjunga. I have seen many of them but nothing beats the view from here on a clear day. Also, a delightful walk.
