Darjeeling is one of the most popular hill stations. It holds captive a cadre of rookie and returnee visitors charmed by its mountain scenery and quaintly cosmopolitan air. Winding up from the hot plains of Bengal roads and railway alike slither through carpets of neatly manicured tea shrubs rounding a final corner to great Darjeeling. The modest town drapes itself along an aerated 2,100 m (6,890 ft) ridge and down the north facing slope perimeters often lost in pre-monsoon fog of early summer. A leisurely day of nostalgia begins with a ride on the Toy Train.
