Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

Climb onboard the Darjeeling toy train in India and you'll feel like you've stepped inside a storybook. The railway – which happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site – takes travellers on a fantastic journey from the lower throws of the Eastern Himalayas through vibrant rolling hills and tea plantations. It's a short trip, but it makes up in diverse, dramatic views what it lacks in length.
