During your Darjeeling trip in 2025, there will be 12 Toy Train Joyrides daily. This includes 8 diesel-powered and 4 steam-powered Toy Trains.
A Toy Train Joyride in Darjeelingis like getting lost in a kingdom of clouds. The train chugs slowly along the mountain paths with its rhythmic “chick-chick” sound. The surrounding green carpet of tea gardens and the touch of cold clouds brushing against your face make for a beautiful experience.
As the train navigates the winding paths, you catch glimpses of the Kanchenjunga peak, witness the play of sunlight and shadow on the hills, and breathe in the soothing scent of pine trees. The cool air, the stunning natural scenery, and the warmth of memories fill the heart.
This Joyride is not just a journey; it’s a peaceful conversation with nature, making every moment unforgettable.
