Shruberry Nightingale Park

Shruberry Nightingale Park, located just 1.5 km from Darjeeling Mall, offers a serene and scenic escape, accessible via a steep climb. This well-maintained park provides stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills and the mighty Kanchenjunga, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll or a family picnic amidst the misty mountains. Originally the private courtyard of Sir Thomas Tartan’s bungalow during British times in the early 1900s, the park now features a large statue of Lord Shiva, a lush meadow, and a musical fountain, all contributing to a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere.

The park is a popular tourist destination and hosts daily folk art and cultural performances that highlight regional traditions, enriching the experience for visitors. It is located close to Chowrasta Mall on Jawahar Road, easily reachable within a 10-minute walk. The park is open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, with cultural programs held in the evening, so it’s best to arrive before 4 PM to catch these performances. It’s a perfect spot for anyone seeking relaxation or a moment of quiet beauty in Darjeeling.
