Ride of the World Heritage Toy Train in the Himalayan summer resort Darjeeling!
The historic Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was built in the British period for tea transportation. Today, though maximum services are offered through diesel locomotives, steam locomotives have been persistently used for tourism between Darjeeling and Ghum which is a one hour ride one-way, also termed as "Joy-Ride".
Due to its small size it was nicknamed as"Toy train" that later became famous amongst tourists throughout the world. "
