The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the DHR or the Toy Train, is a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal. Built between 1879 and 1881, it is about 88 km (55 mi) long. It climbs from about 100 m (328 ft) above sea level at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 m (7,218 ft) at Darjeeling, using six zig zags and five loops to gain altitude.

Once the toy train reaches Batasia loop, it takes its passengers around the beautiful garden. The sight of the entire Darjeeling town from this point is absolutely jaw dropping, as is the view of the snow capped peaks of Kanchenjunga- when the train reaches Kurseong. One can always go and take a look at the War Memorial, situated right at the center of the garden which was built to honor the Gorkha martyrs. The train next stops at the world’s second-highest railway station to be reached by a steam locomotive — Ghoom, at 7,000 ft. for 30 minutes , so that the passengers can get down and take a stroll inside the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Museum.
