While we always talk about the sweeping views of sunrise from Tiger Hill and the view of the colossal Kanchenjunga with many other snow clad eastern Himalayan peaks from here, but we hardly talk about the summit of Tiger Hill itself.

True that the blaze of rapidly changing colors of the snow peaks as the sun strikes is an awesome view, but Tiger Hill is great even otherwise. It’s a destination by itself offering not just great views during sunrise, it’s a place where you can soak yourself with Himalayan beauty anytime during the day.

While I have been to Tiger Hill many times to experience the sunrise, I have also been there several times during the day and enjoyed asmuch. However, you must go there during the right season so that all the peaks are visible and there is no mist or fog cover around.
