Apart from Siliguri, Kanchenjunga is also visible from Darjeeling and Kurseong. However, amid the ongoing pandemic, only a handful of tourists have been spotted in the hills.

Meanwhile, the tour operators and hotel owners are waiting for the situation to get back to normal.

This should definitely come as a lesson to all of us: that nature can do better if only we are more careful in how we treat it.
