For a charming and intimate train journey, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in India is a must-visit.
This narrow-gauge railway, affectionately known as the “Toy Train,” takes passengers on a picturesque ride from the plains of Siliguri to the hill station of Darjeeling. The journey features stunning views of tea plantations, lush forests, and the majestic Himalayan mountains. The small, vintage locomotives add to the nostalgia and authenticity of the experience.
From the snow-covered forests of Lapland to the alpine charm of the Swiss Alps and the festive medieval streets of Tallinn, these ten winter wonderlands each offer their own unique magic.
