Within
the serenity of Kurseong if one wish to witness the history of Darjeeling
district and its sub division then without any hesitation one must go to the
site of Toy Train Station which is perfectly perched within the glides of main
town.
As
per the history when Britishers came down to Darjeeling district they were so
bemused to see the wonders of Himalaya and its terrestrial beauty they decided
to introduce the run of Toy Train within the hemisphere of Darjeeling district
and as a result the site is now one of the most allured destinations within
whole Kurseong.
Here
what best you can do is experiment with ride as the toy train that runs from
Kurseong travels all the way to Darjeeling and the ride of it would be quiet
different as compare to other. Moderate gauges that runs through the line of
sharp bends discovering the entire natural symphony speaks the volume.
Perhaps
that could be the reason why people from all around the world travels a long
distance just to see the history of world renowned Toy Train. While you take a
ride you would be addressed with Himalayan hospitality as the splendid
mountains, greenery around, busy town life and between those pictures steam of
Toy Train blowing its whistle characterises the solemn approach of brilliance.
