Darjeeling Himalayan Railway


This miniature steam train which you can enjoy a 1-2 leisure ride on through the mountains, villages passing by homes and shops , within meters of their frontage , is also the one means of travel to Siligory from Darjeeling. For this pleasure you can ride on the train at a very slow speed for the short time 6 plus hours! ( 77kms). You would have to be a train nut to do this as we are not !

We opted for the jeep with 15 others squashed inside , which took 3 ½ hours to complete the 77 km "on/off road" journey as it much more thrill seeking. Adventure tourism India ! You pay huge money in NZ to live life on the edge and go 4 wheel driving. We do it for less than 100 rupees in India !
