Description

The story of the Toy Train begins in the late 19th century, when Darjeeling was the jewel of the British Raj and its tea plantations were in full bloom. Transporting tea from the high hills to the plains was backbreaking work. Horses and bullock carts simply could not handle the winding, steep terrain. The solution was audacious for its time: a narrow-gauge mountain railway, threading its way through tea gardens, pine forests, and bustling little bazaars.
