Your Experience on the Darjeeling Himalayan Train Hi everyone! 🚂 I’ve been reading about the iconic Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the Toy Train, and I’m super excited to include it in my upcoming trip. It’s one of the major highlights I’ve seen in almost every Darjeeling tour package from Delhi, and I can’t wait to experience it myself!
But before I book the tickets, I’d love to hear from those who have actually taken the ride:
How was the overall experience?
Was it scenic and peaceful, or crowded and slow? I heard the Ghum–Darjeeling route is the most popular.
Which route did you take?
Did you go for the Joy Ride from Darjeeling to Ghum and back, or did you travel a longer stretch like Kurseong to Darjeeling?
How’s the booking process?
Can I book this online in advance, or do most Sikkim and Darjeeling tour packages include it already?
Is it worth the hype for first-time visitors?
Would you recommend this ride for kids and family members, or is it more for railway/history lovers?
Best time of day for the ride?
Morning, afternoon, or evening? Which gives the best views?
This ride is something I’ve dreamed of since childhood, so I want to make it memorable. 😍
Would love to hear your real stories, travel tips, or even photos if you’ve got any! Also, if you booked a Sikkim and Darjeeling tour package that included this train, please let me know how it was managed.
Thanks in advance, and happy travels to all! 🙏
