Photos Of Batasia Loop
Darjeeling, West Bengal, India
Batasia Loop is a remarkable feat of engineering and a picturesque landscape in Darjeeling. It was constructed by the British to solve the problem of a steep gradient for the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR), also known as the Toy Train. To reduce the incline, the railway line takes a circular 360 -degree turn, creating a spiral loop. The word "Batasia" itself means "windy space" in Nepali, a fitting name for the area's cool and often breezy climate. At the center of the loop lies a beautifully manicured garden and a memorial dedicated to the Gorkha soldiers of Darjeeling who sacrificed their lives in various wars. The Batasia Loop is not just a functional part of the railway line; it has become a major tourist attraction, offering stunning panoramic views of Darjeeling town and the surrounding mountains, including a clear and majestic view of Mount Kanchenjunga. The loop is surrounded by lush green flora and colorful flowers, making it a feast for the eyes and a great place for a leisurely walk. The Toy Train passes through this loop, creating a perfect photo opportunity for visitors. The serene atmosphere, combined with the breathtaking natural beauty and the historical significance of the War Memorial, makes Batasia Loop a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Darjeeling. It is a symbol of both the ingenuity of human engineering and the pristine beauty of the Himalayan foothills.
