Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is back on track:
The Darjeeling Toy Train is now back to enchant passengers travelling between the hill town of Darjeeling from New Jalpaiguri (NJP). The train ride returned on August 25 after not moving for about 17 months. The Darjeeling-Ghoom-Darjeeling train route too returned to provide passengers with joy rides August 16 onwards.
The much coveted toy train service was suspended after the COVID 19 pandemic took hold of the world last year in the month of March.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the finest heritage train rides in the country. If you want to experience slow travel, then this is the best option. You will get properly acquainted with the Eastern Himalayas.
