Attraction
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (Toy Train)
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, affectionately called the 'Toy Train,' is a UNESCO World Heritage narrow-gauge railway that has been running since 1881. The charming steam and diesel locomotives navigate an engineering marvel of loops, zigzags, and gradients as they chug through the streets of Darjeeling and up to Ghum India's highest railway station at 2,258 meters. The most popular ride is the 2-hour Darjeeling-Ghum joyride that passes through the famous Batasia Loop, where the track spirals over itself through a manicured garden with a war memorial and direct views of Kanchenjunga.
