Activities & Attractions (1)
Tiger Hill Sunrise (with quiet side viewpoint)
Leave Darjeeling around 3:45–4:00 AM by pre-booked taxi; sunrise usually ~4:45–5:15 AM depending on season. Skip the main observation hall and walk a little down the road on the hill’s slope (your driver will know a side pull-off) for fewer people and cleaner compositions of Kanchenjunga and the changing sky.
Restaurants & Food (2)
Kunga Restaurant
Tiny, no-frills Tibetan joint just off Gandhi Road. Order the steamed chicken momos (or veg momos), a bowl of thukpa, and butter tea or lemon ginger honey for a warming, post-sunrise breakfast.
The Park Restaurant
Quiet upstairs dining room with simple, contemporary decor and large windows. Go for Darjeeling-style chicken curry, vegetable chakali, and garlic naan; ask for medium spice and a corner table by the window.
