Engineering Marvel: The Story of Batasia Loop
Constructed in 1919, Batasia Loop is an ingenious railway innovation that allowed the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Toy Train to navigate a sudden 1,000-foot drop in gradient by completing a full 360-degree loop through beautifully landscaped hill gardens.
The Gurkha War Memorial
In the center of the loop garden stands the poignant Gurkha War Memorial, erected in 1998 to honor the supreme sacrifices of brave Gorkha soldiers who fought in all post-independence conflicts of India.
