A beautiful park with a package of cultural programmes performed daily during the tourist season. The park features a giant Statue of Lord Shiva, a temple, and provisions for live-interactive entertainment. The best time to visit the park is in the evenings. You may think of it as an alternative to Tiger Hill to see the sunlight magic on Kangchenjunga from this park. Good spot for photographers, as this place is not very crowded. A nice landscape is visible from this park.

An attraction off the beaten track, and the resting place for the figures who have contributed to Darjeeling significantly. It contains various graves, including the one of Alexander Csoma de Kőrös (Hungarian: Sándor Kőrösi Csoma), a Hungarian philologist who authored the first Tibetan-English dictionary and grammar book.
Quite a hike from the centre, Darjeeling's second oldest tea estate is open for visitors. An employee will guide visitors through the tea factory, showing the full process of tea production and explaining the different varieties of tea. At the end of the tour, tea samples are tested, and you can buy teas produced from the estate.

A rehabilitation centre for the Tibetan refugees in Darjeeling, established on 2 October 1959, following the Dalai Lama's escape from Tibet. It contains a monastery and a museum.
The oldest site of Darjeeling. This hill is also known as the “Makal-Babu-Ko-Thaan” in the local area. It is said that a Red Hat Buddhist Monastery stood at this very spot. The Nepalese people destroyed this monastery in the 19th century. The Mahakal Temple now stands on this hill.
