| Darjeeling offers glory of natures at its best and its changing faces in different seasons. Even if one merely sticks to the best method of getting about it in the hill walking, it can be a very rewarding experience. The famous Sun Rise from Tiger hill is worth visiting early in the morning when the sky is clear, the view Mt. Khangchendzonga is clearer from here than any other places. For the more adventurous there are treks ranging from a few hours to a few weeks. The Darjeeling region has the distinction of offering a breathtaking view of four of over 8000 metre high peaks-Everest, Khangchendzonga, Makalu and Lhotse, from one place Sandakphu.
