The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, built during British colonial rule, connects Siliguri and Darjeeling. It features 12 steam locomotives from 1889-1925, still in use today, and is a major tourist attraction. The railway, a World Heritage site, uses a narrow gauge track with loops and zigzags to climb steeply without tunnels. Initially set to close, its UNESCO listing in 1999 boosted tourism, saving the railway. The 86 km journey takes 9 hours, offering views of tea plantations and Kenshinjunga, the third highest mountain.
