One of the most beautiful location near Darjeeling. But our government is not taking care of the area/ location to promote tourism.

The place has some nice small waterfalls where tourists flock to take pics, even get costumes for the same. The place is well maintained and a lot of construction goes on because of the frequent landslides that happen in the area. This is a part of the city sight seeing in darjeeling and is a nice place to visit.

the flowers here are beautiful, the garden is huge with seating arrangements too, better to visit when the waterfalls falls are fed by the rains.

I have visited total 12 places of tourist interest in Darjeeling. However, I didn't find anything special in them except the Rock Garden. though the roads are not in good condition, the garden is someway a peaceful and pleasant place to spend an hour or more. However, those who have already visited the Kempty Falls near Mossourie, they may avoid... More

What foolishness made us go there I dunno. We drove through one of the worst road we ever drove. Got bumped and tossed to reach the rock garden, and all we say were rocks, no gardens, and a sleepy attendant waiting to charge you for it. What a waste of time and effort. We didnt even enter the place, left... More

Travelling to this park was exotic due to the steep roads (roads were not in good condition though), lots of medicinal trees that gives a pleasant aroma for the travel. Park was very good, we tried tasting wild oranges (small sized), those were awesome.

The path to the rock garden (chunnu summer falls) is really bad, quite steep and unpaved for quite a distance. It is a slow but exciting ride down on a quick descent (best to take jeeps or vehicles that can handle this). But the views on the ride at the bends are amazing. It was almost sundown when we reached... More

After reaching there, we found there is a ticket counter for ticket worth of Rs. 10/- for... More
