    Part of the famous duo of Tenzing and Gombu Rocks, this rock is the shorter of the two and is named after Gombu, nephew of Tenzing and also the first man to conquer Everest twice. Situated on the Lebang Cart Road, this rock is fairly visible from the road itself, and is regularly used by HMI students for rock climbing trainings. Relatively easier to climb when compared to the much taller and much more difficult and steep Tenzing Rock, aspiring climbers and tourists can climb by paying a minimal fee. For the less adventurous, there are road side stalls selling a multitude of Darjeeling delicacies which they can enjoy while admiring the rock!

    Gombu Rock and Tenzing Rock are just opposite.. There is a small temple opposite of Gombu Rock. it's used for rock climbing.. Good place to visit and Great for non professional climbers.. You can climb Gombu Rock with some guided person at extra cost.. Some local food shops available.. Visit time 30minutes without guided climbing..

    Named after Gombu Sherpa, who was the first to climb Mount Everest along with Tenzing Norgay, this place is named after him as a tributary. Here HMI arranged training campaign. This is a famous tourist spot where people visit at a regular basis.

    When I was in class five I heard about Gombu Rock has got its name after Nawang Gombu. He was Tenzing's nephew and he had climbed the Everest twice and became the first person to do so. He climbed Everest first in the year 1963 and then in the year 1965. So i decided to go once feeling the experience.... Hmmm

    Sheer steep cliff. Trainers are there with harness & ropes but don't know how would normal tourists climb it. It's for professional climbers.

    A total waste of time. It's just a rock nothing beautiful. Surrounding is very dirty. If you are from south india you will find it a waste as there are many such rocks everywhere. Calling it a tourist spot is waste
