Snowfall has started in the 'Queen of the Hills'.........sandakphu and falut received snowfall few days back...........now the famous tiger hill,batasia loop,ghoom also received snowfall..........great season ahead........DHR is also ready to run from 25th december..........
Catch this train and reach NJP by 8.00am .....take the famous DARJEELING HIMALAYAN RAILWAY and reach upto Tindharia......see around place nearby like kurseong,the famous makaibari tea estate and reach Darjeeling

Heard So Much About Darjeeling Mail Over A Decade. Finally Had The Privilege By The Same On 2nd Feb. I Must Say The Train Is Over Hyped.

PROS:
1. Cleanliness Was Impeccable
2.
...
more...
Bedding Provided Was Neat & Clean, Well Washed & Ironed

CONS:
1. There Ain't Any Pantry Car In The Train. Hence, A Cup Of Coffee Charged Here Is INR 15/-. And Bread-Omletter [ Not Even Butter] Is Charged INR 40/- . Simply Loot Business. One Doesn't Have Any Other Option Than Having Such Pathetic Food On A Higher Price
2. Train Reached NJP 2 Hours Late
Early In The Morning We Realized There Is No Water Supply In Wash Basins & Wash Rooms

Next Time I Travel To NJP , I'll Probably Take Kamrup Exp

Made numerous travels. In general a very well maintained train in terms of cleanliness. Regarding schedule, I faced same pattern in every travel - on time departure from SDAH, before time arrival at MLDT, at least 30 min delayed arrival at KNE which remains or sometimes extended until it reaches NJP.

For getting a confirmed ticket in Darjeeling Mail, you need to book in Premium Tatkal quota because 50% chances of getting your ticket in WL. If you book in any other quota, i don't sure that you will get a confirmed ticket.
