Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

The Darjeeling Himalayas Railway, which was built in 1881, is the first and most outstanding mountain passenger transport line, using the few old steam locomotives that are now available. Sitting in the old carriages and looking out the window, it feels great.

The speed is very slow, and it doesn't feel good. Maybe the season I came is wrong. But the scenery of Darjeeling is still very good. I plan to come next time, in fact, many locals also take this train.

In Darjeeling for four days, I still did not take this small train. In my opinion, I must choose the right season to take the small train. Otherwise, I basically can't see the scenery, and I can only see the white in the clouds and mist. It is said that the scenery in December and January is the best every year. I think I'll do it again.

Very cute little train experience. The ride is not very long but it's quite fun.

1. One of the three major world cultural heritage train lines in India; 2. Locomotives and train carriages in different eras are operated at the same time; 3. Crossing the Alpine Tea Gardens, climbing up to 2,100 meters above sea level from 98 meters above sea level; 4. The fare of the first-class seat is more than 1200 rupees. Even if the price is not expensive in India, if you want to experience a short period, it is better to sit in the last paragraph. The only thing to note is that you may not buy tickets during the peak season.

Very old railway and train. This is a railway built in the 19th century. It is a tool to help Britons living in Kolkata to get to Darjeeling for a convenient and comfortable holiday. Now it is a nostalgic experience. Sitting in the old train smells the Victorian state and enjoy it.
