Darjeeling Toy Train Guide: Joyrides & Full Journeys (2026)

The UNESCO Darjeeling Himalayan Railway offers short steam joyrides (Darjeeling–Ghoom via the Batasia Loop) and longer diesel services from NJP/Kurseong. Book the popular joyride well ahead in peak season.

What we handle

TripTrix Voyages arranges transfers, stays and all documentation for Darjeeling. No special permit is needed for Darjeeling itself; nearby Sikkim areas may require inner-line permits, which we arrange.

  • Gateway: Bagdogra Airport (about 3 hours by road to Darjeeling)
  • Best time: October to December and March to May for clear mountain views; the monsoon (June–September) is lush but drives are slower.
  • Permits, transport and stays fully managed

TripTrix Voyages arranges the full Darjeeling hills experience for the travel trade — net rates on request for any itinerary.
