A ride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, affectionately known as the “Toy Train,” takes you through scenic landscapes and loops like the Batasia Loop, offering panoramic views and a visit to the Gorkha War Memorial.
Explore the intellectual and natural heart of Darjeeling at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, where mountaineering legends were trained, and the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park, home to rare Himalayan species like the snow leopard and red panda.
