The tourist section still runs on steam trains and the tracks run alongside the road, and sometimes on it, making an interesting mix of traffic and trains.  Trains are less manoverable though so the taxis need to give way, despite blasting their horns in the traditional Indian way.

Visited the Himalayan climbing centre, set up by Tenzing Norgay after he moved to Darjeeling following his ascent of Everest in 1953. Lots of equipment in display used in that world famous expedition. 

Darjeeling still very foggy, but the odd glimpse of the mountains through the clouds gives an idea of just beautiful this place must be in the sun.
