Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Museum

Reviewed By AgniAmrita - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Museum was the house of Sarat Chandra Bose and later Netaji stayed in this house for 7 months. Located in Giddapahar, the property is quite beautiful. Now the house has been renovated and contains many rare pictures and used items of Netaji. Pictures and documents related to great historical events like Haripura Congress Session, interaction with Rabindranath Tagore and Jawaharlal Nehru, Indian National Army, the participation of Hill people in Indian National Movement are displayed in the Museum. A good place to visit for the history buffs with the addition of a great natural beauty.

Himalayan Tibet Museum

Reviewed By NewYorkLuna

A beautiful and educational display on Tibetan culture. Includes artefacts given by the Dalai Lama, an informative exhibit of Tibetan Medicinal Herbs, several detailed dioramas, a photo essay of the current Dalai Lama, and a fabulous Sand Painting, which I was told created by a delegation from Dharamsala that offers a blessing to all who view it.

Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Ghoom Museum

Reviewed By tannud2018 - Srinagar District, India

he Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, known affectionately as the toy train, made its first journey along its precipice-topping, 2ft-wide tracks in 1881 and is one of the few hill railways still operating in India. It has had Unesco World Heritage listing since 1999. Two-hour 'joy rides' from Darjeeling to Ghum and back satisfy most people's toy-train urges. There are normally around six of these pulled by antique steam locomotives daily, and three or so with diesel engines.ust one (diesel-powered) train in each direction daily makes the whole 88km (seven-hour!) trip between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling; another runs just from Kurseong to Darjeeling and back.
