点评:I don't normally provide negative reviews, but want to spare others the experience we had.
We expected a lot from this given the hype around this elsewhere and the comparatively high cost. We covered the stretch from Darjeeling and Ghoom.
However, the reality was that this was not the picturesque train ride overlooking vistas of tea terraces and mountains that we had expected, but rather a rickety train spewing pollution into the faces of its passengers that crawled up the hill within centimetres of the urban sprawl of Darjeeling and its surrounds. Every 90 seconds passengers experience a sharp horn blast as the driver has to clear the line. There is nothing to see at Ghoom or the other stop. The train also ran an hour late which caused us to shorten our visit to other, frankly more worthwhile, attractions.
It wasn't all bad, the carriages were clean and the passengers were lovely, but that was not enough to make up for the other shortcomings of this experience.
Please avoid.

鉴于之前在其他地方看到的宣传以及相对较高的票价,我们对这次旅行抱有很高的期望。我们乘坐的是从大吉岭到古姆的这段路程。
然而,现实却是,这并非我们期待的风景如画、可以俯瞰茶园和群山的火车之旅,而是一列摇摇晃晃、尾气弥漫的火车,沿着山路缓缓爬升,距离大吉岭及其周边地区的城区仅有几厘米之遥。每隔90秒,司机就会鸣笛示警,提醒乘客注意安全。古姆站和其他站点都没有什么可看的。火车还晚点了一个小时,导致我们不得不缩短行程,去参观其他更值得一去的景点。
当然,这次旅行并非一无是处,车厢很干净,乘客们也很友善,但这不足以弥补其他方面的不足。
请避开这次旅行。
