The 88-km Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) was constructed in 1879. The two-foot narrow gauge line connects Darjeeling town to New Jalpaiguri, offering delightful views of the scenic countryside.Colloquially known as the toy train, this major tourist attraction is an engineering marvel and a part of India’s colonial heritage. In 1999, after Unesco declared it a World Heritage Site, the number of tourist arrivals grew exponentially.
