 For centuries, pashmina has been celebrated as one of the world’s finest and most luxurious textiles. Soft, feather-light, and exquisitely warm, it has draped emperors, inspired poets, and travelled along ancient trade routes. But beyond its beauty lies a story of craftsmanship, geography, and cultural heritage that is as rich as the fabric itself.

 There’s a buzz in the air — and a plume of steam rising over Tipong Colliery in Assam! 🔥
In March 2026, as part of our Darjeeling Tours Northeast Frontier adventure, we’ll witness something truly special: the team at Tipong has completed a thorough overhaul of ‘David’, and he’s all set to be fired up specially for our Darjeeling Tour guests on the Northeast Frontier Rail Tour. It has been many years since David was last fired up making this a very rare and special experience. Track-laying work begins shortly, ahead of a trial run, and we can’t wait to see David steaming along the rails once again!  Amit Chopra and Pat Archibald The heart and soul behind every Darjeeling Tours journey.
When you join a Darjeeling Tours adventure, you’re not just signing up for a rail journey or a cultural escape — you’re stepping into the world of two passionate guides who bring India’s landscapes, people, and traditions vividly to life. Meet Amit Chopra and Pat Archibald — two very different travellers with one shared goal: to create experiences that linger long after the journey ends. |
