Kalimpong
Deolo Hill is the highest point in Kalimpong at 1,704 metres and the absolute best place to watch the sunrise over the Kanchenjunga and Everest ranges from this charming hill town. The park at the summit has well-maintained walking trails through flower gardens and the early morning light painting the Himalayan peaks in gold and rose is a photographer's dream. It is genuinely one of the most rewarding sunrise experiences in the Darjeeling Hills region.
Hire a local taxi the night before to take you up at 5 AM — walking up in the dark is not advisable and private vehicles need a permit after a certain point.
