This day we will go for Darjeeling sightseeing. In the morning we will visit Tiger Hills at the time of sunrise to enjoy the scenic view of Kanchenjunga, Mt. Everest and several other famous peaks of Eastern Himalaya.
After a short break, we will have a ride on Toy Train of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) which is famous as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Toy train tickets are not included in the main package.
Next, we will visit the Mountaineering Institute, founded by Tenzing Norgay, the renowned Everest conquerer. The equipment used in the climb is arranged here for a display.
Thereafter we will go to the Tibet Handicraft Centre and spend some time in the midst of wonderful tea gardens. Our next destination is Ghoom Monastery. The calm ambience of this place becomes more mystic with dense fog.
We will also take you to Yoga-Chiling 'Yellow Hat' temple. Here you can experience a foghorn-like sound coming from the giant Gyeling pipes blown by the Buddhist monks making the village more interesting.
Then we will have a visit to Chholing and Darli, two popular Buddhist monasteries. Makal-babu-ko-thaan, an Observatory Hill is our place to visit in the evening. It is a popular belief that a red hat Buddhist Monastery called as Dorje Ling or 'Place of the Thunderbolt' was in this place once upon a time. It was destroyed by the Nepalese in the 19th century and now both the Shivas and Buddhist share the present temples.
Return to the hotel and overnight stay at Darjeeling.
