🚂 The Joy of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway: A Toy Train Ride
Step aboard the legendary Darjeeling Himalayan Railway and be transported into a world of nostalgia and natural beauty. Affectionately called the “Toy Train,” this UNESCO World Heritage railway winds through lush tea gardens, misty pine forests, and charming hill towns on its route from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling. With its vintage steam engine and narrow-gauge tracks, the ride is a delightful blend of engineering marvel and old-world romance. As the train chugs slowly through Batasia Loop and Ghum—the highest station on the line—every curve offers panoramic views of the Himalayas and local life. It’s more than just a ride—it’s a journey through time and terrain that leaves a lasting impression on every traveller’s heart.
