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.
Karmaa Dorjee Chyoling Monastery
This monastery was built in 1761 by Lama Dorje Rinzing above the Observatory Hill, where the Mahakal Temple stands now. Later, it was relocated downhill to Bhutia Busty.
This church was built in 1843.
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.
