Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a 2-foot narrow gauge railroad track that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling and is one of the most popular sites to visit in Darjeeling. The miniature train that gushes amongst the foggy hillside and gives simply magnificent views of the valley is the highlight of this 88-kilometer railway route.

The building of this historic railway began in 1879 and was completed in roughly two years. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 due to its popularity as a tourist destination. The Himalayan Railways Station toy train trip is both thrilling and soothing in character.

A trip on the toy train is one of the things you should not miss when visiting Darjeeling. It's no surprise that it's at the top of the list of Darjeeling's greatest tourist attractions.
