Darjeeling Himalayan Railway runs from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling, which is popularly known as Darjeeling toy train. Being listed under UNESCO World Heritage Sites it has a long history. It was completed in 1881.Riding in this train was on top of my list but in November 2011 the train was not functioning for some reason. It was disappointing. The joy ride from Darjeeling to Ghoom was available but, tickets were sold out for weeks ahead! Sometimes it is very much necessary to plan ahead huh?!
It should be a lovely experience for sure. The Ooty train experience is fun too.

ReplyDeleteDo it next time, if possible. Even I want to ride it.
