Very very nice

Amazing experience

"A Bargain Hunter’s Delight in the Heart of Siliguri". Huge variety of imported and local goods at highly competitive prices, the market's lively atmosphere, with colorful stalls and animated vendors, adds to its charm. Quality varies especially for electronics, bargaining required or else overpaying is common if you're not cautious

Welcome to the iconic Hong Kong Market - Siliguri’s answer to every shopaholic’s wildest dreams — and every husband’s worst nightmare. This iconic bazaar isn’t just a market; it’s a high-octane shopping safari, with bargaining as the official language and “fixed price” a fictional concept. Tucked in the heart of Siliguri, this place is as chaotic and colorful as a Holi party on roller skates. It’s famous (read: borderline notorious) for selling everything from branded lookalikes to genuinely unbranded originals, all imported — well, allegedly — from Thailand, Nepal, Bhutan, and of course… Hong Kong (wink wink). What’s in the Bag? - Electronics that may or may not live beyond their warranty-free existence. Earphones, trimmers, speakers — you name it, they’ve got five versions of it in five different spellings. - Fashion items that are 99% style, 1% stitching. From ‘Gucci’ belts to ‘Adidas’ sneakers, the market offers you the global experience, minus the guilt-inducing price tags. - Bags, toys, perfumes, watches, and clothes for the whole family — including that one cousin who only shops in street markets but flexes like a Milan runway model. Trivia That Tingles Your Brain - The market came up in the late 1990s, riding the wave of cross-border trade from Nepal, Bhutan, and China. - It’s named "Hong Kong Market" not because of any direct tie to Hong Kong, but because "Import Market" didn’t quite have the same ring to it. - It’s a hotspot for tourists from Bhutan and the Northeast, who treat it like their own mini Dubai Shopping Festival — minus the camel rides. Real Talk If you want to test your negotiation skills, empty your pockets joyfully, and return home with 6 bags of "branded" joy for the price of one coffee at Starbucks, then my friend, this is your Disneyland. Just don’t come with a full wallet or a weak resolve. You’ll either return with a suitcase or a story. Or both. Mood: Bargain-hunting Beast Mode!

A typical market offering all the essentials—bags, shoes, clothes, accessories, and umbrellas—alongside some tourist-friendly items like souvenirs, magnets, and more. However, the variety is quite limited, with most shops selling similar products. Despite mentions of bargaining in several reviews, we found that prices were largely fixed, with little room for negotiation. Visited on a Saturday, the market was fairly crowded, and shops began closing around 7:30 PM. Additionally, there are several smaller markets around its various entrances, adding to the shopping experience.

This market is mainly known for the chinese imports. But you can get almost everything here from clothes to shoes, from household items to decoratives, and many more. This is a big market where there are a lot of options to do. It offers a variety of items at potentially lower prices than other markets, but be ready for bargaining.

If you are from Kolkata, Then Chandni market is far far better. I am Talking about electronics shopping. There is almost nothing electronic in hong kong market, forget the "Imported goods" thing. Sure you get a lot of varities in clothing. But hong kong market has only clothing and wearable accessories to provide. Or Either I didn't find the place I was supposed to.

One of the best places where you can get everything u want 😜.. But if you have a bargaining power then welcome 🤗😁.. Be careful from some shop kippers... Air ventilation is low... Avoid weekend.... Approx 500 shop with different types of accessories available here..

I loved exploring Hong Kong Market in Siliguri it’s a lively street market with trendy clothes, bags, footwear and cute accessories. The prices are super affordable and bargaining makes it even more fun. The lanes are a bit crowded but that’s the charm of street shopping. I wouldn’t really recommend visiting in hot weather it’s better to go in the evening when it’s cooler. It's totally a must-visit for fashion lovers

Fantastic place but the road from Tumling will be hell even in a 4x4. It's very cold (once it gets cloudy and chilly) even in October so take appropriate warm clothes. Ideal for treks. Do not mess with the yaks and the horses. The yaks might chase you thinking you have salt. Running water is a big issue here.

West Bengal s highest mountain peak but it is very crowdy. Beautiful sceneries can be seen from here . Most favourite trekking attraction is sandakhfu for trekkers. You can also come this place by landrover but trekking is more adventurous.

One of the most beautiful place I have ever visited. I was there in the month of February 2024. It was a bit off season and at night temperature was around -5 degree. Hotel sunrise is one of the choices for staying there. But when I stayed there , there was no electricity, so as usual there was no room heater or anything to keep us warm, so in that climate condition it was a bit difficult for all the travellers. Even glass windows were frozen inside the room. But the very next day when we saw the clear sky and the beautiful sunrise , all our exhaustion had turned into joy and happiness.you can visit the place either by hiking or by car , you can reach to Manibhanjan from NJP , from Manibhanjan you can hire a guide if you want to reach the place by trekking,it’s a 4 days trek only for sandakphu , and if you want to cover Phalut , then it’s a 5 days trek. Another option is you can take the legendary Land Rover or Mahindra Marshal kind of jeeps to reach there. If the sky is clear then you can see the most mesmerising view of Kanchanjunga range. I am sharing some photos from my gallery. Keep travelling keep knowing the u know.

Reach there via Phalut. Trekked approx 21 KM. Exhausted, dwindling somehow reached the trekkers hut. But the next day sunshine gave the tranquility I craved for long

Sandakphu is the highest point of the ridge and of the state of West Bengal, India. The peak is located at the edge of the Singalila National Park and has a small village on the summit with a few hotels. Four of the five highest peaks in the world, Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu can be seen from its summit. Must visit place in West Bengal, its beauty is beyond expectation.

One of the most difficult terrain to conquer. ROADS are almost non existence. But adventurous. If you're looking for adventure you can definitely visit this place. View of Kanchenjunga is Mesmerising and the sunrise is just wow

The last 14 km trekking from Tumling to Sandakphu is totally WORTH it!! I would suggest everyone who lives in West Bengal to atleast visit this place once in their lifetime. This place is indescribable and unbelievably BEAUTIFUL! ❤️ One of the best place I've been. Very cheap, if you know the place and people. If you want to go by car, book Land rover car from the ticket counter. It will be very cheap for you. PLEASE don't allow the "Tour Guide" book the Hotels and Cars, they will charge double. The Guide will tell you Hotels/cars are not available etc... Just to fill up their pockets. Always book cars and hotels by yourself. Don't go for so called guides (dalals). People are very nice and helpful over there.. I've been to this place two times.

So bad manager don't book this hotel . I stay 3 night so I understand what is it . Don work tv, water hitter, unclean bathroom, and staf is so bad ,

This is the best hotel in batasia loop...and the owner is so friendly , staff are also responsible,service is so good...amazing.

Very friendly stuff. Food quality good. Washroom is good.

Great experience in this location

Nice atmosphere, peaceful place, love to visit

Bad

Check for the clouds at around 3am before heading here to get an idea whether you can see the mountains especially the Kanchanjunga. The vehicle management needs to improve. The entire tourist population of Darjeeling will be here with atleast 300 cars on a weekday and more on the weekends. So be ready to walk a bit because your driver will prefer keeping the car at the far end to ease the departure. No official observatory here when I went in the month of October 2025. You'll have some local vendors who serve maggie and momo as well. So enjoy this place and be hopeful that the weather gods bless you

Bike is allowed after 9 am. Road is fine. Sunset is more beautiful than sunrise.

Visited Tiger Hill and had a wonderful experience. The sunrise over the mountains was stunning, and watching the golden light hit the peaks felt magical. We also had pahad wali Maggie, which tasted amazing in the cold mountain weather. Overall, a beautiful and refreshing visit!

Sunrise view from the tiger hill is a mesmerizing experience. And also the view of Kanchenjunga from here is wonderful. Must visit place if you visit Darjeeling.

Iconic Place in Darjeeling for Sunrise View !! Kanchanjunga in the golden rays of Sun was just pleasure to eyes 👀! Perfect place for photoshoot and If the sky is clear the you can get a view of the Mt. Everest too!

It's an amazing view point ,one should definitely visit in a life time. Mesmerizing sunrise and kanchenjunga mountain range will make your visit worth the time and effort you put to reach there.

At Tiger Hill before the dawn, The world is quiet, still, and calm. Then slowly, light begins to rise— A golden whisper in the skies. Kangchenjunga wakes in glow, Blushing pink with morning’s show. The Sleeping Buddha shines in gold, A sight that never can grow old. Clouds drift soft, the air is chill, Magic lingers on the hill. In that moment, pure and true— The mountains feel like they’re blessing you. A sunrise framed in heaven’s hue—

Peace Pagoda is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Darjeeling. The moment you reach here, you feel calmness all around. Surrounded by pine trees and cool mountain air, the white stupa shines brightly, spreading a sense of purity and harmony. The atmosphere is very serene — perfect for meditation or quiet reflection. You can also enjoy a breathtaking view of the snow-covered Kanchenjunga peaks from here. The place is clean, well-maintained, and the monks are humble and welcoming. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Darjeeling — not just for its beauty, but for the peace it gives to your heart. Early morning or evening visits are best for clear views and peaceful moments. There’s no entry fee, and the path is easy to walk. Don’t forget to remove your shoes before entering the main area. ⭐ Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) 🕊️ Vibes: Calm, spiritual, and refreshing 📍 Tip: Visit early morning for sunrise and silence — truly magical! ---

Truly Peaceful: Kanchenjunga Views & Japanese Culture The Darjeeling Peace Pagoda is a must-visit for total peace and incredible mountain views. The natural setting is beautiful, filled with lush trees and the sound of birds chirping, making it instantly calming. On a clear day, the view is spectacular—you get a clear, majestic shot of the Himalayas, especially the iconic Kanchenjunga. The Pagoda itself is an important symbol of Buddhism and global harmony. It was built by the revered founder, Nichidatsu Fujii Guruji, and its simple, elegant design beautifully showcases Japanese culture and architecture. It's a wonderful, pristine spot for quiet reflection. Highly, highly recommended!

A calm and spiritually refreshing place with stunning views of the Darjeeling hills. The Japanese Temple exudes serenity, and the rhythmic chanting of the monks creates a deeply peaceful atmosphere. The adjoining Peace Pagoda, with its gleaming white structure and golden Buddha panels, is beautifully maintained and photogenic. A short walk connects both sites, making it a fulfilling visit. However, parking can be quite congested, especially during peak hours, so it’s better to come early or hire a local cab. A must-visit spot to experience peace, architecture, and panoramic views of Darjeeling in one frame.

Japanese peace Pagoda and Japanese Temple is one of most famous place in Darjeeling West Bengal. Named aptly as 'Peace' Pagoda, the tranquility of the place can hardly be expressed in words. Japanese peace pagoda is a revered place which is believed to be the symbol of spirituality and peace. This place is relaxing and calm. All the white colors space gives very pleasing vibes around the area. Not much crowded at all. We stay there around 1 hours

Peace Pagoda, Darjeeling I visited this beautiful temple with my family, and it was truly a peaceful and spiritual experience. The place radiates calmness and positivity the moment you step in. Situated amidst the scenic hills of Darjeeling, the Peace Pagoda stands as a symbol of harmony and unity for people of all faiths. The view from the top is absolutely mesmerizing — you can see the town and the surrounding mountains in all their glory. A must-visit place if you’re in Darjeeling — not just for its beauty, but for the sense of serenity it brings

Nice place. Japanese Temple and Peace Pagoda are in same place. Peace Pagoda is more beautiful. And most beautiful thing is the scenic beauty of nature. And if weather is fine then you can get to see the Royal Crown of Himalaya The Majestic Kanchenjunga mountain.

Visited the Peace Pagoda in Darjeeling during our trip, and it truly left me feeling calm and blessed. Such a beautiful and peaceful temple—surrounded by mountains, greenery, and fresh air. The place has a very calming energy, and the white pagoda itself is so stunning and serene. I went there with my husband, and we both felt a deep sense of peace just walking around. The view from the top is amazing—you can see the entire city and even the hills beyond. It’s not just a tourist spot; it genuinely gives you a spiritual vibe. If you’re someone who enjoys quiet places and beautiful architecture, this one’s a must-visit in Darjeeling. Simple, soulful, and picture-perfect!

Beautiful resort, with amazing decor and friendly staff. It is centrally located. There are two lifts, one from the parking lot and another from the front entrance. The resort is spacious and spread over different levels. The parking, though available, is limited. The food is good but the buffet is too expensive compared to the choice of dishes offered. Rooms are spacious, with good heating arrangement, but the wardrobe space is limited. The mobile signal of most national networks is intermittent, but the WiFi connectivity is good. The reason for the 4 star ⭐ rating is mainly the intercom. Every time you wish to dial another room, you have to go through the operator.

Beautiful resort, with amazing decor and exceptional hospitality. All aminities available, centrally located. My only concern was with the food. I generally avoid buffets as food in buffet is most of the times average and also you tend to overeat. I stayed there for 4 nights and opted for the alacarte dining. Choice of items is limited, more over the preparation/ taste of food is very very average, rather below average for the dishes I had ordered......absolutely not expected from a star rated property. Will I stay there again - Yes Will i dine there - No

My 2-year old son, wife and I stayed in there for 3 nights and here is my honest experience. Please note we stayed in Lloyd's cottage so the room related details are specific to the room. Rest of it is generic Hotel itself is excellent - huge and spread out hotel with a colonial heritage. impeccably maintained. Service - The BEST part. We had been quite demanding, keeping in mind we had an infant with us. Every request was kept with a smile. Amenities - Cannot imagine needing anything else from a hotel. They provided slippers, bathrobe, even umbrellas, there was a playroom for children as well. Food - the breakfast spread was excellent. The Ala carte menu was decent. Location - Not exactly on the mall but just a 10 min walk in a quieter neighbourhood. Possibly less so for fitter people. Room and view - very decently sized room. We had a balcony with a valley view. Overall we were extremely satisfied with our stay. Our heartfelt thanks to each employee.

The view from this resort was awesome specially sunset and sunrise never to be forgotten. gardens are beautiful. rooms are cosy and well lit. rooms are warm with heaters. washrooms are clean. small snacks in rooms and good night note is left by staff in room after cleaning which is very nice. only thing is hotel should look for more facilities for the disabled or old age people. i enjoyed my stay here. breakfast is delicious and managers are so friendly. my husband birthday we celebrated here and it was a treat.

I went with my European partner and my parents and we were surprised to see that most people staying there were non Indian. So I was happy I dint have to explain much to the staff to adapt food to my partners liking. The property is gorgeous with great views of the city and is very close to the main attractions.

Extremely wonderful experience. We had our small baby with us, the staff made sure that things are utmost comfortable and pleasant for us. Rooms are good, slightly small though, temperature is moderated well despite the extreme cold temperature outside. Facilities are good enough to have a nice stay. Food options are variety are also decent. I would definitely recommend this as a stay when in Darjeeling..

Mayfair Hill Resort is an excellent property in the heart of Darjeeling. The place provides a breathtaking view of the valley. The floral decoration in the entire premises is very excellent. Everything is well maintained. There is no point of error in the whole property. The place is famous among tourists and celebrities as well. Service, ambience, food is 5 Star quality. We celebrated our sister's engagement in the resort and it was a grand success and the guests was delighted by the location. Highly recommended place to visit if you are in Darjeeling.

The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) is one of the premier mountaineering institutes in the world. After buy tickets for zoo the same ticket will give you the access for HMI. There also a museum, which has an immense collection of mountaineering equipment, scales of the mountain range and anything and everything in between. Everything is very well presented. It was good to know that Tenzing was associated with HMI. They also have his shrine. Malavath Poorna is the youngest girl in the world to have climbed Mount Everest Is also trained in this institute.

Excellent place for mountain enthusiasts. Located within the Zoo complex. Different courses are available here from basic to advanced. Ticket has to be taken from the zoo entrance itself

As I stood at the institution in Darjeeling, the Himalayas unfolded before me like a canvas of breathtaking beauty. The snow-capped peaks, majestic and towering, seemed to defy gravity, their rugged grandeur softened by the gentle caress of mist. The mountains' serene silence was punctuated only by the sweet songs of birds and the rustle of leaves, creating a symphony that resonated deep within my soul. The Himalayas are a masterpiece of nature, crafted over millions of years by the patient hands of wind, water, and ice. As I gazed upon their majestic form, I felt the weight of their ancient history, the stories of civilizations past etched into every rock and valley. The institution, nestled in the heart of this natural wonder, seemed a haven for those seeking knowledge and adventure. The Himalayas near Darjeeling are a haven for the senses. The scent of rhododendrons and pine wafted through the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of the forest floor. The taste of local tea, rich and full-bodied, was a perfect complement to the stunning views. As I sipped my tea, I felt the stress of the world melt away, replaced by a sense of tranquility and awe. The institution's surroundings offer a wealth of opportunities for exploration and discovery. From trekking and mountaineering to birdwatching and photography, there's something for every kind of adventurer. As I watched the sun set over the Himalayas, painting the sky with hues of gold and crimson, I felt grateful to be in this enchanting location. In the evening, as the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, the Himalayas took on a mystical quality. The mountains seemed to whisper secrets to the wind, their ancient wisdom carried on the breeze. As I stood there, enveloped by the majesty of the Himalayas, I felt a deep sense of connection to the natural world. The Himalayas near Darjeeling are a treasure trove of natural beauty, cultural richness, and adventure opportunities. Whether you're a nature lover, a photographer, or simply someone seeking inspiration, the Himalayas are sure to leave you spellbound. As I left the institution, I carried with me memories of the majestic Himalayas, their grandeur and beauty forever etched in my mind.

Invaluable tourist spot in Darjeeling. Great place to view the glorious attempts to climb the tallest mountain peaks in India and Nepal. We also get the opportunity to see the various gear used by the countless mountaineers in their attempts to climb them. There are also the statues of Tenzing Sherpa and Edmund Hillary. We pause there in awe as we recollect their heroic feat. The entire process of mountaineering is described in detail there. There are several magnificent photographs too.

Museum is really very good, depicting 3D model of entire Himalayan mountain range. There is audio visual talkies here.

An absolute gem for anyone interested in mountaineering, adventure, or Himalayan history. The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute is not only well-maintained but also deeply inspiring. The museum section is filled with fascinating exhibits, including gear used by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary. The location is scenic, nestled near the Darjeeling Zoo, with a backdrop of the Himalayas. Great for families, students, or solo travelers. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and the entire experience is both educational and enriching. Don’t miss the mountaineering wall, training areas, and the tribute to Tenzing Norgay — it truly reflects the spirit of adventure that Darjeeling is known for. Highly recommended!

This Himalayan zoological park is good place for Visitors, inside 3 place to visit and enjoy most beautiful time

Very beautiful view from the bridge. Peaceful at dawn.

It's Proud of North Bengal [ Dooars]Sevoke Cronation Bridge[ Arch Bridge]

It's a land mark to be precise and a heritage too. Can be visited once , nothing much to explore

It is a CORONATION BRIDGE MORE, comes under SEVOKE roadway, West Bengal. This point you see two National Highway are meets one is NH31(old) and another one is NH10.Connecting the districts of Darjeeling and Kalimpong.It was named to commemorate the coronation of King George VI.

Beautiful but too much vehicles ruining the place...

It's a very beautiful place.

Nice Experience, Great place.

It's a beautiful cactus nursery Entry fee is 20 per head and car parking is 30 rupees per car Different types of cactus are there It's a must visit place for the tourists You can enjoy snacks inside the nursery The closing time is 4.30pm

Absolutely loved my visit to Pine View Nursery in Kalimpong! The nursery boasts an incredible collection of over 1,500 species of cacti from around the world, making it a paradise for plant lovers and a truly unique spot in Kalimpong. The displays are perfect for photography and learning about exotic plants. You can even buy some beautiful cacti to take home as souvenirs. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kalimpong.

Pineview Nursery in Darjeeling is a very beautiful and peaceful place to visit. It is not a big tourist attraction, but it feels special the moment you walk in. The nursery is full of different kinds of plants, especially cacti and succulents that you don’t usually see in this region. Some are tiny and cute, while others are tall and strangely shaped—it feels like walking through a little desert garden on a hill. The paths are clean and well maintained, and the staff are friendly and happy to answer questions. I was surprised to learn how many varieties of cactus they grow here. The display is arranged neatly, with colorful pots and name tags for most plants, which makes it easy to look around and learn. From the nursery, you can also enjoy a nice view of the surrounding hills, which adds to the charm. It’s a quiet place, away from the crowd, and perfect for people who love nature and gardening. Visiting Pineview Nursery was a refreshing experience. It showed me how beautiful and unique plants can be, even in a small corner of Darjeeling. I left with a peaceful mind and a smile on my face.

Nice collection of cactus plants. But very small

Avoid this place in Kalimpong. Bad experience. Staff is exceptionally rude and wasn't allowing us entry as we had just 10 minutes left. Although we were allowed later we were charged the full ticket fee. It is a really small place with very few cactus. Maintenance is very bad and seems the entry fees goes to the staff's pockets.

A cactus lover’s paradise in the hills! 🌵✨ Pine View Nursery in Kalimpong surprised me with its incredible and massive collection of cacti — easily one of the most unique nursery experiences I’ve had in India. From tiny, intricate varieties to giant, spiky showstoppers, the diversity here is mind-blowing. Some of the cactus species are rare and decades old, and you can tell they’ve been lovingly nurtured. It’s like stepping into a desert-themed botanical garden, but set against the misty backdrop of the Himalayan foothills — absolutely surreal! Even if you’re not a plant enthusiast, walking among these beautiful, unusual plants is a visual treat. It’s peaceful, educational, and truly photogenic. You’ll definitely walk away with a new appreciation for these fascinating plants. If you’re visiting Kalimpong, don’t miss this spot — a must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys the quiet charm of green spaces. 🌿📸🌵 Would you like a quirky or punny version for Instagram? Something like: “Kalimpong’s sharpest attraction — and I’m totally stuck on it! 🌵😉”

This nursery has good variety of cactus. Entry ticket of Rs20 is reasonable. But a guide for nursery would be better. A small place to spend around 20 minutes.

Delo Park is a lovely spot to spend some peaceful time amidst nature. The park offers several scenic viewpoints that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and landscapes. A small entry fee is required, which is quite reasonable for the experience it offers. Horse rides are available inside the park, which is a fun activity, especially for kids. It's also great to see that the park maintains an eco-friendly approach by not allowing plastic inside. However, the park could benefit from better maintenance in certain areas to enhance the overall visitor experience. With a little more care, it has the potential to be an even more beautiful and well-kept destination.

This park is just awesome in beauty. The park is situated in the high mountain of Delo hill(Kalimpong). You can see wonderful view of Tista river, Kanchanjangha and hilly region. If you a nature lover, a wonderful feeling will come by walking in the park.

Psalm 121:1-2* - "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."# Kpg Delo park with my homies ! 😍 The views were absolutely breathtaking - the hills, the gardens, and the serene atmosphere made for a perfect getaway. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, took plenty of pics, and even spotted some lovely flowers. A must-visit for family picnic, friends tour ,couples looking for a relaxing break! ❤️

Nice place it's a clam place. The park has entey fees of Rs 20. You can ride horses 🐎 here. The park's lush landscape, variety of flowers, and scenic views make it a perfect spot for relaxation

Lush green paradise here at Delo park. It’s well maintained and clean. Lovely experience being here during monsoons. Activities such as paragliding and horse riding happen here after monsoons. There’s a small shop where you can purchase souvenirs.

One of the best tourist spot in Kalimpong dist. Here's nature is soo beautiful. clean area no shop inside the park. Horse riding and bike riding for kids in the park. Para grinding spot near by the park. Some shop are outside the park. Ticket fees rs 20/- per person, it's open from 9am to 5 pm.

Beautiful place. Walking and taking snaps in between clouds was wonderful. Love the pine forest inside the park. Want to visit again.

This is one of the sacred sites for Buddhists. It is said that Lord Padmasambhava/Guru Rinpoche (the "2nd Buddha" who popularised Vajrayana Buddhism) blessed this lake. It is called a wishing lake that can make your wishes come true. It is said that you can never see leaves floating on the lake despite many trees around as the birds regularly pick up these leaves. The entry fee here is 30rs, and the parking fee is 20rs. From parking to the lake, it is a 7-10 minutes easy walk. The pathway leading to the lake is really beautiful and peaceful. It is mandatory to maintain silence around the lake due to its holiness. There is a monsatery also near the lake & Guru Rinpoche's statue. If you are up for some activity, you can trek for around 15 minutes to reach the lake viewpoint, which gives an aerial view of the lake. The Guru Rinpoche Cave also comes along this trek. The trek has a steep climb, so it is not advisable for all but is worth the effort regardless.

Khecheopalri Lake is a serene and sacred spot near Pelling. Surrounded by lush forests, it's revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. The lake's still waters and tranquil ambiance make it a peaceful retreat. A must-visit for those seeking spiritual solace and natural beauty. But I thought taking money for this place not good choice.

"Magical Vibes, Pristine Beauty – A Must-Visit in Sikkim!" Khecheopalri Lake, often called the "Wish-Fulfilling Lake," is one of Sikkim’s most sacred and enchanting destinations. Nestled amidst lush forests and misty hills, this tranquil lake radiates peace and spirituality.

Often referred to as the "Wishing Lake," it's revered by both Buddhists and Hindus, believed to fulfill sincere prayers. Sacred Significance: Known as "Sho Dzo Sho" in the local Lepcha dialect, meaning "Oh Lady, Sit Here," the lake is steeped in legends and spiritual importance. Natural Beauty: The lake's pristine waters are remarkably clean, with leaves rarely floating on its surface—a phenomenon attributed to birds that swiftly remove them. Biodiversity: Surrounded by dense forests, the area is rich in flora and fauna, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

This Lake Situated in the Western part of sikkim is a wish fulfilling lake according to the ancestors. The lake is visible only from a distant and u cannot touch the water It is supposed to be holy and pious lake.you have to walk 800 metres from the parking area to reach the lake.there are many naturally growing medicinal plants around the lake.there is a small cabin converted into place of worship. The people managing this place must keep this place clean as the temple cabin was filthy and garbage,used bottles,eatables and what not was left Abandoned. When you return back after asking for a wish at the lake you must try the Wood Fired Pizza.they make it in front of you and you can find it bang on near the lake's entrance.

Completely waste of money and time, I would not recommend any one to visit this place. Practically there is nothing to see, a small lake with dirty surroundings that’s all. Entry fee is Rs 20 per person, but at the time of entry they gave us discount (for eight people they had taken only 150), initially we didn’t understand the reason but after visiting that “ভাগার“ we realised that entry should free

The beauty of the lake is very nice. It is surrounded by forest but still you can't see any leaves floating on the lake. There's a lot of fish in the water and you can feed them. This is a very holy place for the local people. Entry fee is 20/- per person.

It's a very beautiful and quiet place when we visited with zero tourist. Had the entire waterfall to ourself. One best part to visit during monsoon season when we can see the waterfall on its full form. Don't be stunned with just the one near the road, do go up the stairs and get lost in the beauty of another waterfall.

It is a huge waterfall and water is coming very fast. Go upstairs to see the actual waterfall. Zip lining is available in this place. It’s a budget thing to experience if you are interested. There is a entry fee of 20 rupees per person for this waterfall and zip lining will cost 100 if you pay online.( Rate as of October 2025)

This waterfall located near Yoksum offers spectacular views of the water cascading down the mountainside. At the time of our visit it was raining as such the water was gushing down in full volume which made a wonderful sight.

If you love waterfalls then this place is a must visit when you go to Sikkim. It’s near the city of Pelling which is a part of western Sikkim. There are two points for this falls, make sure to go for the one that is above. Doesn’t cost much to go above. Don’t forget to take nice pictures!

It's a water falls right on the road to Pelling. It's a beautiful high falls with quite huge water. There is a small falls right on the roadside but the main falls is located little inside where you could reach after a little walk and a flight of steel stairs. Entry fee is Rs. 20/- per head. Nice place to spend sometime to enjoy the falls.

A short beautiful escape to nature❤️ This place is quite affordable and the scenic beauty of the waterfall just amaze you. The nearby stalls offer snacks and souveniers at quite affordable rates.

Kanchenjunga Waterfalls is a breathtaking spot near Pelling. The powerful flow, lush green surroundings, and cool mist create a refreshing experience. Easy to reach and perfect for a quick scenic stop. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

The site offers a truly stunning mountain view, complemented by a huge Buddha statue that creates a deeply peaceful environment and spiritual experience. The grounds are well maintained, featuring a beautiful landscape that enhances the visitor experience. With ample opportunities for photography, this destination stands out as a must-visit place for travelers seeking serenity and scenic beauty.

This place is mind blowing. It's a magnificent temple which gets hidden in the clouds during rains. There're a few food stalls and gift shops from where you can buy souvenirs too. There're vendors from whom you can take traditional dresses and take pics. The best part is , they only give the clothes and you take unlimited pictures with it. Such a bliss. Definitely a must visit. It's peaceful z majestic and has amazing vibes at the same time.

Great to see this place. Whole area is calm and peaceful.The Lord Buddha Statue is mesmerizing as well as the paints of the temple. The garden is also well maintained. The whole area is clean except the public toilet. There are many food stall where you authentic food and also buy some handicrafts items.

Very Awesome and very peaceful place . You can go there and spend quality time with your family. It has museum in it . Place is quite peaceful and clean. Recommend place in Ravangla. It's a major tourist attractions in Ravangla.

A peaceful and spiritually uplifting destination nestled amidst the misty mountains of Ravangla. The towering statue of Lord Buddha is truly majestic, set against a scenic backdrop of lush hills and clouds. The park is beautifully maintained, with well-laid walking paths, manicured gardens, and an informative monastery museum inside the complex. There’s an e-cart service for ₹300—not mandatory, but I visited during heavy rain, and it was extremely helpful for a comfortable visit without getting drenched. On a clear day, you can easily skip it and enjoy a serene walk.

A modern park dedicated to Lord Buddha. It's got battery operated vehicle to reach The buddha statue or one can walk up the stairs. At night when the whole park lights up the environment becomes mesmerizing

We visited Buddha park on 04.06.2025. It was raining a lot since morning. It was densely foggy. We couldn't see the Buddha statue for a long time. The weather cleared a bit after a while but we weren't satisfied. So we came back in the afternoon and stayed till evening. The weather was absolutely clear then. The morning tickets allowed us entry in the afternoon. Ticket prices were Rs. 80/person and with a student ID, you can get ticket for Rs. 20. Parking charge was Rs. 50.

May jhor Homestay is located near Suntalekhola taxi stand. The nearest Railway station Chalsa is about 20 KM and Siliguri 80 KM. All the rooms with attached washrooms. There is a sitting area and Balcony with great views. Homemade tasty food available.

We started our journey from Madarihat which is around 100 km away from Samsing/Suntalikhola. We were five persons in the group. One of the main attractions was beautiful tea gardens both the sides in our way to. Samsing. At Suntalikhola you have to take the local car from the spot for the sightscene. They charge you Rs 400 for almost nothing. So we dropped the plan and decided to travel by walk. First we went to hanging bridge. Then started to trek few km up towards muchaki army camp. There is a nice spot to take a look to the beautiful villages in this route. Foods are overpriced, you will find few local restaurants at Suntalikhola stand.

Suntalekhola is an amazing place. Surrounded by thik forest, amidst pure nature. But we couldn't enjoy it as the forest development corporation cottages are in pathetic state and not liviable. Filthy , dirty damp , no place to keep your clothes. It is a nightmare. The price is very high for this filthy place. Forest department has no right to waste govt money and neglect >

This hotel is in Darjeeling district. If you want to go from Siliguri, first you have to come chalsa. From chalsa you can go by book a car or by local sharing car. You have to go through metili & samsing. Main attraction of Suntalikhola is hanging wooden bridge, Orange garden and of course charming weather.

Awesome life time experiences I've earned during my recent Goecha La trek. Amazing bio-diversity and green trails with thrilling sensations I ever had before, would like visit again. It's a paradise for the trekkers.

Very beautiful places and love the nature. Survival of mankind without nature is impossible and humans need to understand that. If nature has the ability to protect us, it is also powerful enough to destroy the entire mankind. Every form of nature, for instance, the plants, animals, rivers, mountains, moon, and more holds equal significance for us. We should fully enjoy the nature without disturbing its ecological balance. We should care our nature, make it peaceful, keep it clean and prevent it from the destruction so that we can enjoy our nature forever. Nature is a most precious gift given by the God to us to enjoy but not to harm.

Unable to add pictures for Yumthang Valley at the right location, but that place is one of the most beautiful locations I've been yet. Pictures are just out of the world and no filters needed at all.

An ethereal beauty offered by this serene place - adorned with purple tapestry of flowers, crystal white river, massive array of alpine trees and snow capped black mountains. It's a magnificent view which can barely be forgotten. It will have an indelible impression on my memories - a piece which I would cherish forever.

Changu Lake, often called Tsomgo Lake, lies nestled amidst dramatic Himalayan peaks at an altitude of around 12,313 feet, only a short 40-kilometer drive from Gangtok in Sikkim. This serene glacial lake, famed for its stunning palette of blues and emeralds, enchants every traveler who lays eyes on its tranquil surface surrounded by wild, snowy mountains. During the cold months, the lake transforms into a mirror of ice, shimmering under clear blue skies, while the warmer seasons unveil a bloom of vibrant wildflowers like rhododendrons, poppies, primulas, irises, and alpine foliage that adorn its shores with a painterly riot of colors. Local folklore infuses Changu Lake with mystical aura: it is said to be the abode of protective deities, and Sikkimese Buddhists and Hindus alike revere it as sacred, regularly visiting for rituals and faith healing. In ancient times, Buddhist Lamas would read the lake’s shifting hues to prophesy fortunes. Guru Purnima celebrations fill the lakeside with prayers, and legends speak of Lamas and shamans gathering here, their rituals blending into the whisper of cold mountain winds. The best time to visit the lake is between April and June, when the last traces of winter melt and the valleys come alive with flowers and birds – including migratory Brahminy ducks and the dazzling red panda. September through November is ideal for crisp air and crystal-clear vistas, while January to May sees the lake frozen in untouched grandeur, perfect for those seeking the otherworldly beauty of ice and snow. Monsoon months are best avoided due to landslides and travel difficulties. Traveling to Changu Lake means winding along the scenic Gangtok-Nathula highway, either in a private cab, shared jeep, or organized tour. The journey itself is unforgettable, with spectacular abrupt gradients and waterfalls en route. Access requires a restricted area permit, so all documentation should be carried without fail. Travel accessories make the difference between comfort and hardship. Visitors should pack thermal layers, warm jackets, rain gear for unpredictable shifts, and sturdy waterproof shoes for icy terrain. A well-stocked backpack with snacks, water, travel permits, sunscreen, and camera is essential. Yak rides along the lakeside offer a charming local experience, and kiosks at the shore sell warm tea, yak cheese, local trinkets, and provide snow boots or gumboots on hire. Changu Lake is more than a destination; it is a soulful, aesthetic journey into the heart of Sikkim’s culture and nature—a place where myths live in shimmering waters and every moment spent feels carved out of poetry and wonder.

The Tsongmo lake is very calm and beautiful nestled in between the mountains. The water is crystal clear. The weather was very sunny and windy, it was tough to stable. If you are planning to visit nathula please spare some time for this lake. We ride the cable car and went to the highest pick of the mountain. The road was awesome and the scenario is marvelous. You can bargain for cheap YAK ride as well.

The ropeway ride was a highlight — super smooth and well-managed by the Indian Army. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking! Also, the Yaks there are strong, healthy, and add a fun twist to the experience. Riding one around the lake felt like stepping into a postcard. Honestly, Tsomgo Lake is one of those places that’s worth visiting in any season. Whether you're into nature, photography, or just want a break from the usual, this spot has something special.

It is built on the memory of Baba Harbajan sigh who given his services to Army and Nation. Inspirational place. And also we can find one waterfalls and Lord siva statue over there. It is operated by Army

A small yet good stop to visit when going to or coming back from Nathula pass. This place is an inspiration to our soldiers ! You can get eating options here and can add this as a stop on your trip. There is an issue with parking here. You would need to coordinate with your driver to meet at a certain point. The police patrolling ensures the cars keep moving, so we had to be quick in getting into the car. This place is also a no drone zone. So it’s better to be informed and not carry or fly any drones in this area.

A Patriotic place to visit while U go to Natula, Sikkim. Where our Brave soldier gave his life for our Country. It's a quiet place to enjoy. Along the road u can see Army camps which r restricted to take photos. Prasad served for tourists.

During our trip to Sikkim, one of the most peaceful and memorable spots we visited was the Baba Harbhajan Singh Temple. I went there with my friends, and though we faced around two hours of traffic on the way due to weekend rush, the experience was absolutely worth it. The temple is located at a high altitude between Nathula Pass and Jelepla Pass, surrounded by stunning mountain views. The weather was chilly but refreshing. Once we reached, we went straight to the temple, which is dedicated to Baba Harbhajan Singh — a soldier of the Indian Army. According to the legend, Baba Harbhajan Singh was a brave soldier who died near Nathula Pass in 1968. It is believed that even after his death, his spirit continued to protect the Indian borders. The Indian Army built a shrine in his honor, and many soldiers still believe that Baba appears in dreams to warn about dangers or guide them. His uniform is still neatly kept, and every year a part of his belongings is symbolically sent home on leave, as if he is still on duty. At the temple, we read about his story and paid our respects. We were also offered prasad, which was simple but felt very special. The peaceful surroundings and the faith that people have in Baba Harbhajan gave the place a spiritual and powerful atmosphere. This visit was a perfect mix of natural beauty, patriotism, and spiritual reflection. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Sikkim.

A Pass at an Altitude of 14140 feet. It's a border of India with china.in tourist season there is too much rush and risks of stampede can arise.keep camphor handy to smell and drink water at regular intervals.

This place is very dependent on visitor. Young people can visit with no problem, but children and old people will SURELY have many problems, nausea, vomiting and fainting. Overall very nice, gives a sense of nationalism. Many small details to see.

Scenic roads leading right up to the border from Gangtok, Sikkim. The roads here are constructed and managed by BRO who do an amazing job of ensuring the road is in top condition. Army personnel manning the roads and check points are extremely helpful and polite. Good food joints dot the entire stretch.

Nathula Pass is a high-altitude mountain pass in Sikkim, India, which connects the state to China's Tibet Autonomous Region, serving as one of the three open trading border posts. Historically, it was a major part of the ancient Silk Route and is now a popular tourist destination known for its breathtaking Himalayan views, its strategic Indo-China border location, and proximity to sights like Tsomgo Lake and Baba Harbhajan Singh Temple. Visiting requires a special permit for Indian citizens.

Visiting Nathula Pass was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I went there with my friends during our trip to Sikkim, and we started from Gangtok early in the morning. The drive itself was scenic, with winding roads and breathtaking mountain views. As we climbed higher, the temperature dropped drastically, and soon we were surrounded by thick snow. When we reached Nathula, the entire area was covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow. It was freezing cold, but the excitement kept us warm. We had a great time playing in the snow, clicking pictures, and just soaking in the surreal atmosphere. It felt like we were on top of the world! Nathula Pass is located at an altitude of 14,140 feet (4,310 meters) above sea level, making it one of the highest motorable roads in the world. One of the main highlights was visiting the Indo-China border. We could actually see the Chinese side guarded by their army, and it was both thrilling and a bit emotional to stand so close to an international boundary. Of course, you are not allowed to cross it, and the army presence is very strict, but it was fascinating to see. The place was quite crowded, with many tourists braving the cold to witness this high-altitude wonder. Overall, Nathula Pass was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll always cherish. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sikkim!

Unforgettable climb to the Indo-China border. Though it was not there in our original itinerary, our car driver helped us visit Nathula Pass. It was a great decision as we got the opportunity to see a marvellous hill station. We had enough warm clothes but we were not really prepared for the thin air at a height of 4300 meters. It was a novel experience. And the slippery ice. And the presence of Indian military personnel everywhere. And the large crowd assembled there to visit the Pass. Though photography was not permitted at the top, we could stay there sufficiently long to get a clear view of the border and could see a few Chinese soldiers as well as a couple of mechanics kin the Chinese territory.

It is important to know the historical Nathula Pass between India and China that was used for trade. On 8 November, 2025, I visited Nathula Pass, there was no snow fall, temperature quit low, that is in between 5 to 9 degrees centigrade.

Driving between Chungthang and Yumthang Valley, be sure to stop at the captivating Bhewma Falls. Cascading down the mountains, this waterfall offers a refreshing break on your journey. Nicknamed after the Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, some say it's due to its impressive height.

Amitabh Bachchan Falls /or Bhewma Falls/or Beumak falls, Sikim We, a family of nine, had a memorable trip to Gangtok and Nathula Pass from April 9-13, 2025. April marked the beginning of the tourist season in Gangtok, and our timing was perfect. One of the highlights of our tour was the breathtaking Amitabh Bachchan Falls, also known as Bhim Nala Falls or Bhewma Falls/Beumak falls etc. Located on the way to Lachung in North Sikkim, this stunning waterfall is named after Bheem due to its impressive size. Locals affectionately call it Amitabh Falls. The water cascades down from a great height, creating a mesmerizing three-stage waterfall. The thunderous sound of the water dropping can be heard from a distance, building anticipation and excitement. As we approached the falls, the roar grew louder, and the sight took our breath away. Near the falls, a small shop offered refreshments, including cold drinks& beer. In the evenings, a lively atmosphere unfolded with campfires, karaoke performances, and rhythmic music that drew in tourists heading to and from Gangtok. Everyone, including us, couldn't help but dance along. The singer's melodious voice captivated the crowd, and they welcomed tourists while requesting them to preserve the valley's beauty by not plucking flowers. This spot was a photographer's paradise. On our return journey, we encountered a Rs 20 entry fee to access a pathway for closer views and photography. The falls served as a memorable gateway to Gangtok on the way up and a pleasant goodbye spot on the return.

The best part of this place is - everyday a live gig happens here. It pulls a crowd to the stall that sells great tea, momos, maggi, and coffee along with beer

This is a beautiful picturesque place to click pictures. It falls on the way to Lachung

Pitstop before Lachung, also known as amitabh bachan falls due to its height. Has some beautiful frames.

Nice waterfall, small stopover place, good for a few clicks here and there.. and to top up the vibes, live singing performer was also there, alongside, a bonfire too! Overall, refreshing!

During the rainy season you will find hundreds (i am not exaggerating) of waterfalls in the Lachung area, some very, very tall, others with great flow etc. Photographing tall waterfalls is a challenge, and these falls always look more impressive in person rather than in photos and videos.

1. Ample parking 2. Lot of stalls where food and alcohol both available. 3. Lot of photogenic places, especially the bridge and the lawn area. 4. Beautiful view but It gets foggy quickly. 5. The journey here itself is a delight where you'll have to cross water streams, rocky roads and many hills. 6. Toilets are not well kept. Do visit the sanglaphu cho lake on top.

Gangtok tour is not complete without zero point. Please confirm there is snowfall. Enjoy this height with full snow around and cold. Car directly comes here with an extra charge in north Sikkim package tour. One car charges 4K in peak season. Great scenario around. It’s above 14000 feet so be ready with oxygen cylinder. The way to this place also too good. Permit done from hotels.

What an experience to be here and the whole scenic drive amidst snow clad mountains is mesmerizing:):) we can hire the boots from the small shops there to walk on snow and to enjoy piping hot Maggi and tea at such an altitude is one experience in itself!! Once we reach, to get acclimatized first before we even move around..!! To carry oxygen (if need be, it will be helpful) as it's unexpected how we feel at such altitude!!

Great place to visit where you can experience snow. Located towards the north part of Sikkim entrenched into the Himalayas this place is perfect for people of all ages for a pleasant experience. People with altitude sickness, breathing ailments or cardio vascular issues should seek medical advise before visiting here. We were lucky to experience fresh snow which had fallen just a couple of days back. Due to the vehicular traffic we were unable to reach the upper ranges which was another 5-7kms away. However, that was not a dampener. Be mindful of the season and timing of your visit to ensure you're able to make the best out of your experience. The road leading up from Lachung to this place is breathtaking though unfinished in some sections.

This is heaven on Earth. Best time to visit is during winter season. U wil see snow capped mountains and clean atmosphere. Bt u can't stay here long as the oxygen level is less at this place. Bt it's a once in a lifetime experience.

Zero Point, also known as Yumesamdong, is a breathtaking, high-altitude destination in North Sikkim, offering panoramic views of snow-covered mountains near the Indo-China border. Situated at approximately 15,300 feet, it is the last motorable point for civilians and is famous for its rugged Himalayan landscape. The crisp mountain air and serene environment offer a unique and peaceful experience away from city life. It is a popular side trip for those visiting Yumthang Valley, the "Valley of Flowers".The road is scenic but can be bumpy and difficult to navigate, especially in winter. Basic roadside shacks serve hot noodles and beverages. They typically pack up by early afternoon due to weather changes.
