TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD BY STEAM THE DARJEELING - HIMALAYAN RAILWAY

The Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway is totally charming, and once out of the lower portion, so are the people, especially the children. We start our journey at Siliguri, not quite the start of the railway, but the site of the engine shed and an Indian Rail station, so there are 3 gauges. During our journey, the railway crosses Hill Cart Road 177 times and rises 6874 feet to the summit at Ghum. Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world at 28,000 feet was visible from near Darjeeling, mostly it's not! You'll take a ride on the train, and see some of the scenery and the people as well as the trains in action. The DHR is now a UNESCO world heritage site, and a truly outstanding, delightful little railway. BONUS FEATURE - The sugar mill at Riga in Bihar Province, with it's 0-8-0T, an odd crittur, ox carts and kids! Dolby 2.0 audio. Running time 1 hr 45 mins plus previews. BLU-RAY HIGH DEFINITION 16:9 1080i
