We are specialists in steam railway tours, railroad vacations and rail excursions in particular narrow gauge railway experiences (Indian Hill Railways) and steam railway holidays. We are experts in railway touring and enjoy a very special relationship with the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society - the DHRS - and we offer a completely unique steam charter train dining experience on the DHR. We also offer specialist Photo tours, guided photographic vacations, wildlife and landscape photography holidays and travel photography tours. We can assist our clients with their Indian Visa arrangements and make all Indian train bookings on our tours.

Peter (“Fuzz”) Jordan
Giving up his “day job” as an accountant, Peter founded Darjeeling Tours in 2003 after running his first Indian tour for the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society in 1999 – and has run most of the tours since then. He’s a real expert on all things Indian (particularly the railways) having travelled there regularly for the last 25 years! Fuzz says "Since I first visited the country in 1979, the colour, the atmosphere and the railways of India have always ensured that a further visit was necessary: India’s like that - there’s always a reason for another visit. The people are so friendly and the sights so remarkable that each day brings something new and exciting. It's a privilege to introduce others to the magic of India, and Darjeeling's Railway in particular." Amit 'Fixer'
A graduate in Tourism from Delhi University, Amit has a natural agenda of making people happy whilst on tour with him! Never say 'No' attitude for the last 20+ years is what keeps him on his toes! Tourism & Hospitality is in the blood as he grew up watching his family serve guests from across the world. Nothing is too big or too small for him. It's hard not to fall in love with India or elsewhere he leads a trip. He goes beyond the call of duty to ensure each and everyone has a good time on a tour. Loves Cricket, photographing and riding trains and talking aviation (....and a casual pint or two of proper beer!) Jagdeep 'Jag'
'Jag' as he's fondly known. Enjoys looking after people and taking care of the finer details. He is got an excellent organisational & leading skill. A friendly go getter attitude makes him win many hearts that he mastered over fifteen years of client servicing. A post graduate in Tourism from Indian Institute of Tour & Travel Management, Gwalior. He takes it personal when it comes to showing around his Incredible India to the overseas guests and ensures that each one goes back with a love for India! Jag is a real mascot for heritage and the traditions of Incredible India! |
