Batasia Loop Tourism
Type of destination: Tourist attraction, Architectural Landmark
Ideal visit duration: 1-2 hours
Batasia Loop, located in the quaint hill town of Darjeeling in West Bengal, India, is a mesmerising and innovative piece of railway track architecture. It was created in 1919 to lower the gradient of ascent of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Batasia Loop offers an astonishing 360-degree panoramic view of Darjeeling's landscape, including the majestic Kanchenjunga mountain range. The beautifully manicured garden at the center of the loop and the War Memorial, constructed in memory of the Gorkha soldiers who sacrificed their lives in wars, add to the significance and allure of the place. The loop wraps around the garden, and as the toy train slowly encircles the loop, visitors can appreciate the engineering marvel and enjoy the breathtaking views. It's not just the scenery but also the cool mountain air and the stunning sunrise that attract tourists to Batasia Loop.
