built in the <strong>late 19th century<\/strong> during British rule in India. The construction started in <strong>1879<\/strong> and was completed in <strong>1881<\/strong>. The main purpose of the railway was to connect Darjeeling with the plains of Siliguri. Before the railway, people had to travel on horseback or by carts, which was slow and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The railway was designed by <strong>Franklin Prestage<\/strong>, a British engineer. It was one of the first narrow-gauge railways in India. The small <strong>2-foot gauge<\/strong> tracks were perfect for the steep hills of Darjeeling. Over the years, the train became an important mode of transport for locals and a major tourist attraction. In <strong>1999<\/strong>, UNESCO declared it a <strong>World Heritage Site<\/strong>, making it one of the most celebrated railways in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Route_and_Journey\"><\/span>Route and Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/vardhmanvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Darjeeling-Toy-Train-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"Darjeeling Toy Train\" class=\"wp-image-1986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vardhmanvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Darjeeling-Toy-Train-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vardhmanvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Darjeeling-Toy-Train-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vardhmanvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Darjeeling-Toy-Train-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vardhmanvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Darjeeling-Toy-Train-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vardhmanvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Darjeeling-Toy-Train.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Darjeeling Toy Train runs between <strong>New Jalpaiguri (NJP) and Darjeeling<\/strong>, covering a distance of <strong>88 km<\/strong>.
