Darjeeling Himalayan Rly in 1979 

less population, less folks, less vehicles and the roads seems wider........ Golden moments

The year 1979.... I went to study at Mount Hermon School in Darjeeling. I was a student of Class 1 then. To me the whole place was mesmerizingly captivating. Yet, being away from home made me gloomy most of the time. However, the quaint little town impressed me a lot with all its charm. The misty mornings, the sudden downpours, the steaming Tibetan cuisines, the majestic view of the Kanchenjunga...all made a permanent place in my heart. Love you Darjeeling.❤

शानदार विडियो सुटिंग के लिए धन्यवाद । लाजवाब साईड दृश्य।

The very next year I, as a child, visited Darjeeling for the first time. Thank you a lot for uploading such a nostalgic video !

Hamro dharohar hamro pehchaan,,, always love my birth place.. 🙏 Thanks for uploading...

We're so lucky that this railway still survives.

Am overwhelmed to see this video. Of dhr..And most importantly I can see my grandpa. .Working there..Miss u grand pa..

Took me back to my childhood. Thank you. I still remember running to the book store inside Darjeeling station just to see the numerous comics kept on display and nagging my mum to buy me one which was difficult considering the economic condition we were in then..😁😁

I didn't want the film to end, such a lovely railway. thank you for uploading

Awesome video.. Thanks for uploading it. I am reliving those bygone days. In 1979 I was staying in Darjeeling and my house was close to the railway track and it was fun watching these trains go by.

I visited the Batasia Loop in 1984 and the Gorkha Memorial as well as the garden there was not built yet. Thank you for sharing this video. Feeling nostalgic...

Awesome video. Took me back 50 years ago and the adventures I and fellow friends had as students trying to outrun the train and at the Z lines that left me in the learch once. Nostalgia at its best. Thanks for the upload.

Omg hamro purano darjeeling 😱😱my birthday date......1979...... I'm so happy😊😁

Kafi khubsurath nazara hai...pahadon ke beech aur sadak ke darmiyan se guzarthi huwi train dekhne mein dil lubha gaya...is nazare ko dekh kar film Aradhana ka woh mashhoor aur romantic gaana yaad aagaya..."Mere sapno ki rani ".Shukriya is pyari si video ke liye....

No FB, No Instagram, No Google, No RU-vid, No Mobile. Such an beautiful golden days

Thanks for uploading such a wonderful and valuable video. We love Darjeeling.

Amazing video of Darjeeling

As an avid model railroader, this train is on my wish list, both as a model and an adventurs, if ever I am within coo-ee of Darjeeling I'm going for a ride for sure. So much history and all on a teapot.

Wonderful video . Nostalgic Love to see Green Ambassador . My last ride on Land rover during my visit to Darjeeling in 2003.

00:44 the green ambassador looks stunning though 😍...never seen an ambassador this colour in my real life ...

What the era was that.... Lovely Darjeeling train and views.. We never witness such a beautiful Darjeeling again.. I missed those days...

Wow😍😍😍my beautiful town dj.we are lucky to see this in 2019.thanks for uploading

Tata trucks, Ambassadors, Land Rovers, goods bogies, green hillsides without houses, no overhead wires, no vehicles running alongside the train....the Darjerling I grew up in. The only thing that looks better now is Batasia. What a wonderful vedio!!

The old wooden houses of Kakjhora till remains 80's. "Saraswati Salownay" is well preserved by Municipality in those days.

Yehi darjeeling maan parcxa. I love darjeeling. ❤❤❤

Love u Darjeeling I m

I am from Siliguri, now toy train runs.

Amazing vintage video indeed that has etched an everlasting memory in my mind! That was the era when this place looked real beautiful. Now will never feel like visiting Darjeeling with its transformation...

Would have loved to witness our place wish I was born on 1969.such a beautiful place it was

Very much glad to see this 🚊

1979 i born ,amazing

Thanks for uploading amazing and great video 👍👍👍😊😊😊

I had been in this loop in year 1987 it was in similar state still then except for a solitary view point structure very near the bridge and the Hut shown in clip wasn't there. No tickets to reach there and it all depended on your luck that you could capture a train in you photos. Ofcourse there was a makeshift kuccha volleyball court where locals played where at present war memorial stands.

An era gone by

Many many thanks for this video...

Thanks for the upload..

Very detailed video of a bygone era on India’s hill railways.

After Bengalis entered Darjeeling it's not like before anymore. People of Darjeeling were friendly,honest,loyal but now locals have learned chutiyapan. It was so clean before

Happy to see 😊😊😊 but also sad 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏻🙏🏻 I was young

Nice memory thanks for uploading 😁😁

Thank you for this vide of my village.. but now Everything has changed . .

It is like a time travel ... wow, just magical

Bahh!

Love form Darjeeling ❤️🧡❤️🧡

Oh Wow... Suuper delighted to watch your vdo, Sir Paul. The famous Toy train and Darjeeling during more than 4 decades ago. I was in my lower schooling days, perhaps. Hats off !!! ... God Bless

Most fantastic Rail journey.

Heart touching

Love from siliguri ❤

Lovely 👍

43 years ago from today 😭

If it was realised earlier darjeeling would surely have been swatzerlnd in india...

Excellent picture

Well we messed up pretty bad and we have gone beyond repair God bless our Darjeeling so much beauty now slowly becoming a dump really very sad

Excellent video it is..!!!! Heritage site footage is really worth cherishing.

Love from Darjeeling It was much clearer in 70s

No constructions and buildings aside the highway roads, no massive constructions, no private vehicles. No Competition, no one is Hippocratic. Just simple life, happy life. Only the locals dominate this place and no interference of outside world.

Just wow😯❤

Those were the golden days.

"Mere sapno ki rani kab ayegi tu"

It gives me memories of the Toy Train

We miss old dj

What saddens me is despite technological development, influx of money, increased businesses..... Darjeeling has gotten worse over the years. For a town that relies heavily on tourism, there is absolutely zero development, roads are worse, traffic is worse, garbage everywhere, houses everywhere....Beauty is nowhere..... And we have Subhash Ghising, Bimal Gurung and Aneet Thapa and most importantly Mamata Bannerjee to thank. All that's left is a fond memory of what used to be.

त्यस समय यो ठाउँ यति सुन्दर हुनुको प्रमुख तिन कारणहरु हुनु सक्छ : १ आजको जस्तै मानिसहरु माझ प्रतिस्पर्धा थियन । २ पैसाको पिछे भन्दा कला को साधनामा थिए । ३ येही कै खाट्टी बासिन्दा हरु मात्र थिए । ४ दर्जीलिंगेहरु मात्र आपस्तमा मिलेर रहेका थिय । ५ हप्तामा एकपल्ट रिंकमा बाइशकप हेर्यो, चोवरस्ता र फुलबारी घुम्यो सन्तोक ।

heart touching

This is called real world

After seeing this video I found out that how we are messing with our town places were so clean time to take up stand, current darjeeling needs to get maintained naturally so we can call it as QUEEN OF HILLS proudly✌

Amazing

🥺 my place ❤️❤️

The Queen of Hill's👌

दार्जीलिङको आफ्नै पहिचन थियो। यहाँ नेपाली घरहरु मात्र थियो । गीत, संगीत, शिक्षामा अव्वल हामी नेपालीहरु । दार्जीलिङ को नेपाली मिठो । यहाँ को बोली मिठो । यहाँका केटाकेटी हरुले ईंग्लिश पनि उतिकै राम्रो बोल्न सक्ने । गीतार बजाउनु, गोली खेल्नमा, सिलाई बुनाइ गर्न मा यहाँ का युवा बर्ग खप्पिस । त्यो दार्जीलिङ मा राजनीति को भुत पसेको थिएन । मानिशहरु पैसा को पछी थियने । समस्या थियो तर सन्तोक पनि थियो । बर्तमान मा त हाम्रो दार्जीलिङ लाई कसैले खोसेको जस्तो भईसक्यो । हाम्रो दार्जीलिङ लाई हामीले नै गुमाइ सेक्यो । फेरी फरकेला त्यो हाम्रो दार्जीलिङ ???????????

hamro Darjeeling

Epic

Lovely video!God Bless You! Amen ✝️☪️🕉️🔔🕯️💙!

Mash Allah

Old 3 coach train looks better than present 2 coach train.

Ñice video

We cannot undo the destruction that we have done but lets try and preserve what is left of this beautiful town we call home.

It's now paradise lost

❤️❤️❤️
