A ride on the Ropeway is one of the best ways to experience the spectacular views Darjeeling has on offer. The ride gives a mesmerizing view of lush green valleys, streams as well as tea-gardens from a high point.

When the ropeway glides over the beautiful town, you will be able to witness the picturesque natural beauty with your partner in serene solitariness.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage, the joy-ride on the Toy Train gives you ample time to witness and absorb the unrivalled scenic beauty.

Officially known as the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the train operates on a 2-foot gauge (610 mm) track, making it one of the few remaining narrow-gauge railways in the world. The railway was built between 1879 and 1881, and is recognized for its innovative engineering and the breathtaking beauty of its route.

One of the most famous spots on the route is the Batasia Loop, a spiral track designed to help the train gain altitude, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the Kanchenjunga peak. The romantic train ride and the freshness of the jungles and forests surrounding the spiral train tracks will definitely kick some punch into your relationship.

When water slides down the rocky slopes in gleaming sunlight, the cascading waterfalls add great beauty to the spectacular Rock Garden.

The area is well-maintained, with terraced gardens, small bridges, and seating areas that provide visitors with scenic views and a place to relax. What makes the Rock Garden a sight to behold is the diversified colourful flowers in the terraced gardens.

The best time to visit is during the summer and autumn months when the weather is pleasant and the waterfall is at its most vibrant.
