Batasia Eco Garden

Batasia Eco Garden located West point of Darjeeling it is very beautiful and popular tourist attraction in Darjeeling. Very pleased and calm place.

Really a good tourist spot. View of Kanchanjangha is excellent and wonderfully seen from here. A small market is here also.

Great place. It is well maintained. Just the toilets not just here but at almost all the gardens in India need some attention from the authorities. They need to be maintained as well.

Perfect place

If you are taking a toy train ride from Darjeeling, you will pass by this magnificent loop. Otherwise, take a cab from Darjeeling town and visit the Batasia Loop. It's located on Hill Cart Road (i.e. National Highway 55) and takes 20 minutes by taxi from Darjeeling town.nThere is no better place to get a 360 degree view of Darjeeling's landscape including the hill town and the snow covered peaks of the Eastern Himalayas with the majestic Kanchenjunga on one side. And all this from the middle of a lovely flowering garden around which the toy train track is laid.nBatasia means airy space. the As you stand on one side of the garden and see the toy train making a complete loop while hooting its whistle along the way and trying to negotiate the spiral track with a double loop, it's a fabulous experience.nThere are seating areas as well to enjoy the views. The entire area along with the gardens and an approach bridge that leads to the garden is about 50,000 square feet. It has been covered with grass and beautified with both seasonal and perennial flowers and shrubs.
