About the sun in Darjiling
In Darjiling, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 13h 51m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 10h 26m: a difference of 3 hours 24 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 10 June (4:42 AM) and the latest sunset on 2 July (6:35 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Darjiling lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 86.4° above the horizon, on 21 June.
