Not only is Tiger Hill in Darjeeling, West Bengal one of the incredible spots to visit but it also has a historical background of great delight. The Tiger Hill Darjeeling History is also linked to British colonialism in the region and its ballooning adventure tourism industry.


In the late 1800s, as a hill station, Darjeeling was preferred by British colonial army officers during the summers away from the scorching heat of the plains. Tiger Hill East Sikkim became famous for sunrise views and so attracted both locals and tourists. The pinnacle was named after the Bengal tiger. Since bushy forests occupied that region, there were high populations of the Bengal tiger, which are now extinct. Such connections to animals and the environment only added to the wonder.


To promote tourism, the British constructed several viewpoints and connecting trails to the hill. As the years went by, it became a favourite spot for many people who were eager to see the incredible sunrises over the beautiful Kanchenjunga ranges. The cold weather conditions, combined with the great sceneries of the mountains, made a lovely getaway, which remains to be the case today.


As part of Darjeeling Tour Packages, Tiger Hill is often included in itineraries due to its historical significance and stunning natural beauty.  Tourist get to enjoy the services of not only the hilltop viewing area but also offer visited Ghoom Monastery elevating the purpose of their visit. 


Like the majority of the places in Darjeeling, Tiger Hill is also a popular tourist destination that attracts thousands of people every year for its exceptional sunrise views and the history behind it. In short, whether it is the beauty of the place or the history, Tiger Hill is a place that is quite hard to forget.
