Take a ride on this from Darjeeling to Ghoom. Ghoom is the highest altitue station in India. Ride from Darjeeling to Ghoom and back takes about 2.5 hours. In between the journey you stop at the loop which is a great place for photography. The sound of the steam engine is soothing to the ears. More

I’m sure most tourists would notice the railway tracks coming all the way from Siliguri and criss-crossing the tracks. This railway is... More
