Day 6 - Tiger Hill Viewpoint and Ghum
We visit Tiger Hill viewpoint this morning, watching the sun
rise from behind Kanchenjunga, India's highest mountain. The sun
projects pink hues across the snow-capped peaks and, as the last
remains of darkness vanishes, each jagged summit is bathed in
golden light. Later, we travel on the steam-hauled Toy Train to
Ghum, the highest hill station in the area. Here, we take a tour of
the Darjeeling's Mountaineering Institute, the final resting place
of Tenzing Norgay, a Nepali Sherpa mountaineer who was one of the
first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
