Tiger Hill at sunrise is a tradition of some sort for visitors to Darjeeling. Tiger hill is about 7,500 ft, and Darjeeling is about 5,000 ft, so it is a bit higher, but I think that the sunrise and mountain views from Darjeeling are almost as good, and you don't have to get up well before sunrise to catch a share-jeep to Tiger Hill. But it does draw a crowd, several thousand on the morning that I was there, mostly to see the sunrise, with little interest in the first light on the mountains. The tallest nearby peak is Khangchendzonga.
