Kangchenjunga as seen from Tiger Hill - Darjeeling
View of Kangchenjunga as seen from Tiger Hill in Darjeeling, India.
Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world, and lies partly in Nepal and partly in Sikkim, India. It rises with an elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft) in a section of the Himalayas called Kangchenjunga Himal that is limited in the west by the Tamur River, in the north by the Lhonak Chu and Jongsang La, and in the east by the Teesta River.
The main peak of Kangchenjunga is the second highest mountain in Nepal after Mount Everest. Three of the five peaks – Main, Central and South – are on the border between North Sikkim and Nepal. Two peaks are in the Taplejung District, Nepal. Kangchenjunga Main is the highest mountain in India, and the easternmost of the mountains higher than 8,000 m (26,000 ft). It is called Five Treasures of Snow after its five high peaks, and has always been worshipped by the people of Darjeeling and Sikkim.
Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations based on various readings and measurements made by the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest, known as Peak XV at the time, was the highest. Allowing for further verification of all calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain.
Tiger Hill (2,590 m) is located in Darjeeling, in the Indian State of West Bengal, and is the summit of Ghoom, the highest railway station in the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is famous for its panoramic view of Mount Everest and Mt. Kangchenjunga together.
It is 11 km from the town of Darjeeling and can be reached either by jeep or by foot through Chowrasta, Alubari (incidentally the oldest tea plantation in Darjeeling) or Jorebangla and then climbing up the incline to the summit, which takes about 2 hours at an easy pace.
The first rays of the sun shoot ahead and shed light on the twin peaks of Kangchenjunga painting it pink and then bathing it in a beautiful orange colour.
From Tiger Hill, Mount Everest (8848m) is just visible, peeping out through two other peaks standing by its side. Makalu (8481m) looks higher than Mt. Everest, owing to the curve in the horizon, as it is several miles closer than Everest. The distance in straight line from Tiger Hill to Everest is 107 miles.
On a clear day, Kurseong is visible to the south and in the distance, along with Teesta River, Mahanada River, Balason River and Mechi River meandering down to the south.[5] Chumal Rhi mountain of Tibet, 84 miles away as the crow flies, looks like a great rounded mass over the snowy Chola Range. One comes face to face with this peak of superb beauty from Phari Jong which is 129 miles away from Darjeeling.
While at Tiger Hill, you can also visit Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, which offers great picnic spots, and its two artificial lakes serve as a reservoir for supply of water to Darjeeling town.

Beautiful Darjeeling
The Queen of the Hills Darjeeling is located in the Lesser Himalayas at an altitude of 6,710 ft. It is a favored tourist destination, noted for its scenic beauty and the mountain panorama.
Kanchenjunga is the world’s third highest peak with a height of 28,169 ft, located on the boundary between Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim. Though it is not clearly visible often from the main town, a trip to Tiger hill at the summit of Ghum, ensures great views. If you are lucky (we are lucky enough to see the actual beauty), you might even catch a glimpse of the mightiest of them all – Mt Everest & Mt. Kanchenjunga together....... It was a memorable trip with Friends & Family in October 2007.
Stunning golden sunset over India's highest mountain - Kanchenjunga
Kanchenjunga lies on the border between India and Nepal so both countries can legitimately claim the summit and peak as theirs!
Around 8 kms from Gangtok Tashi View Point located on the Gangtok – North Sikkim Highway offers the spectacular view of Mt. Kanchenjunga and Mt. Siniolchu. Tashi View Point was built by late king of Sikkim - Sri Tashi Namgyal. This is basically a sunrise point to watch the majestic panorama of Mt. Kanchenjunga and Mt. Siniolchu with other snow clad peaks and can have an experience of the change of colour of snow on the mountains during the Sunrise.

Allowing for further verification of all calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that Kangchenjunga is the third-highest mountain.
Kangchenjunga was first climbed on 25 May 1955 by Joe Brown and George Band, who were part of a British expedition. They stopped short of the summit as per the promise given to the Maharaja of Sikkim that the top of the mountain would remain inviolate. Every climber or climbing group that has reached the summit has followed this tradition.

India: The Darjeeling Himalayan Mountain Railway - No.22
We are a backpacking couple travelling overland through India and this video is about one of the things we had on our bucket list... a trip on the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Darjeeling Himalayan Mountain Railway. It's a toy train (narrow gauge) that climbs up from Siliguri to the Himalayan tea town of Darjeeling.
It's one of the best rail journeys in the world and although we didn't get views of the Himalayas we loved the journey through the towns and villages, especially as the train literally passed over vegetable stalls, within touching distance of shoe shops and set the dogs howling!!
