itinerary.oneDayHeading

Darjeeling in a day — Tiger Hill dawn + toy train + Mall

Pre-dawn

Tiger Hill sunrise (11km, 30 min drive + 10 min climb). Leave hotel by 4:30am. On clear days visible: Kanchenjunga (world's 3rd highest, 8586m) + Everest (far left, tiny). Entry ₹50. Return via Ghoom Monastery (1875, oldest in Darjeeling) + Batasia Loop (toy train memorial).

Morning

Back at hotel 8am. Breakfast. Happy Valley Tea Estate tour (open 8am–4:30pm, ₹100/person) — walk through the gardens + small factory demo. Don't miss the first-flush tasting.

Midday

Darjeeling Mall (pedestrian-only strip) + Chowrasta square. Lunch at Keventer's (1920s cafe, still serving breakfast-all-day) or Glenary's (heritage bakery 1885, second-floor restaurant). The view from Glenary's window is a Darjeeling postcard.

Afternoon

Joyride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (UNESCO) — 2-hour steam loop from Darjeeling to Ghoom and back via Batasia Loop. ₹1800 1st class. Book 30+ days ahead in peak season. Or: Peace Pagoda (1992, Japanese-built, 10 min from Chowrasta) for a gentler afternoon.

Evening

HMI (Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, open 9am–4pm, closed Thurs) is worth 90 min if you're mountaineering-curious — Tenzing Norgay's original climbing gear is displayed. Dinner at Kunga (Tibetan, institution since 1970s).

itinerary.badWeather

Darjeeling gets 3000mm annual rainfall — Jun–Sep often fog-socked with zero Tiger Hill visibility. Monsoon alternatives: Happy Valley tea tour (covered), Keventer's/Glenary's cafe mornings, HMI museum, Darjeeling Zoo (red pandas + snow leopards — one of the best Himalayan zoos in India). Skip Tiger Hill if weather is bad; the 4:30am wake is wasted on a gray dawn.
