The Batasia Loop is another magnificent structure placed on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. No wonder most visitors to the Batasia Loop never leave without a photograph of this decorative wall and especially the stone arch built in 1919, because it perfectly encapsulates a spiral railway built to avoid sharper gradients on the ascent at the slopes of Darjeeling where a toy train operates without which it would be impossible upon to travel. 


Having fun at Batasia Loop is one of the most picturesque locations, furthermore allowing views of ranges including the beautiful Kanchenjunga range. The loop allows for the train to make a complete exactly 360-degree rotation covering a round area. In the middle of the loop section, there is a beautifully landscaped area which is called a garden which also has some historical relevance, being a memorial for the Gorkha soldiers, who were garrisoned in these mountains and died during many battles, which are also depicted inside Batasia loop Photos. 


The tranquility of the people as well as the maintenance of gardens more than enhances the beauty of the place making it one of the top attractions in Darjeeling. Batasia Loop Images depicts a beautiful picture showing the mountains, the toy train on the loop, and the green land area among them. The view from the top, which is early in the morning when fog and bright rays are fighting for space among the towering peaks, is one that most photographers and travellers enjoy capturing.


Batasia Loop History is regarded as one of the significant components of Darjeeling Tourism and is invariably found in Darjeeling Tour Packages. Despite its short length it is a highly romanticized straggling chimney with rich history and that is what explains the ‘must visit’ tourist destination ‘Darjeeling’. In case you are looking at looking at the beauty of the Himalayas, rather than studying them, be it history or geology and seeking a place to enjoy peace, Batasia Loop is the place you should go and enjoy.
