About Ghoom
Quiet, hilly Ghoom is known for Buddhist sites with mountain views, including the Samten Choeling monastery, with its huge Buddha statue, and colorful 19th-century Yiga Choeling Monastery. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, or Toy Train, is a tiny, winding narrow-gauge railway with mini steam and diesel locomotives running from Ghum Railway Station, which has an adjacent museum, plus low-key eateries nearby.
