This is not a picture of Lave. It is Batasia loop in Himalayan Queen Railway, which starts from Siliguri and completes at Darjeeling via Ghum (one of the highest railway stations in the world). It is a narrow gauge line. Speed of this train is very slow – that you can jump off it at one side of Batasia loop and jump back on at the other side!
Also, the pic depicting Almora is also not from Almora its Om Parvat in Pithoragarh district, Uttrakhand. Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_Parvat
