On this day tour, I will take you for a Toy train joy ride. This 125years old and UNESCO World Heritage site train will take us for a ride around the picturesque Batasia Loop with a short stoppage for photography of the beautiful tea garden landscape with the backdrop of Mt. Kunchenjungha. The next stop is at Ghoom Station where the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway had its tracks laid back in 1879 and reached Ghoom by 1881. This is home to the highest railway station in India (7, 407 ft) and the joy of riding in a vista dome powered by the steam engine is a must! You will also be taken to the Museum of the station. In Ghoom we also visit one of the oldest Buddhist Monastery. On our return, we stop at Batasia for a lunch break at a local restaurant. Then we visit a tea plantation and witness the making of the world-acclaimed Darjeeling tea. Evening hi-tea is in one of the iconic restaurants in town and end the day strolling along the Observatory hill area. Welcome to my home!
