Category Natural / Scenic beauty
It offers a stunning 360 degree view of Mount Kanchanjangha along with views of Darjeeling/ Kalimpong/ Sikkim and is often considered by many as the best view point of the snow clad peaks in the entire region. It is located within a distance of 10 kilometers from Algarah. The approach road from the main road to the hill top is in deplorable condition. There is a dilapidated bungalow on the hill top. It was built by the British in 1902 and subsequently burnt down during the agitation of the 1980s.
The approach road can be developed. Alongside a trekking route for brisk trekking activities can be developed as well. On the hilltop a resort with 15-20 rooms can be constructed. A sunrise point may also be constructed.
