Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Launches New Train Rides for Tourists
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a famous train, has started new short rides to make it easier for tourists to enjoy the train.
They've added three new rides, with two more coming soon.
These rides are designed for people who want a shorter trip than the full-day ride.
One ride goes between Darjeeling and Ghum, another between Kurseong and Mahanadi, and another between Siliguri and Rongtong.
Tourists can now enjoy sunrise and sunset trips, and even visit a tea estate.
The goal is to give more people a chance to experience the railway, especially during busy times.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway introduced new short-distance toy train services.
Three services were launched over the past 48 hours.
Two additional services are scheduled to start on Sunday.
The services aim to attract more tourists during the festive season.
The new services include options like steam and sunset rides.
