Taking a Trip Back in Time

The toy train of Shimla is one of the most talked about attractions here. Travelling in the momentous Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage toy train is something that tourists cherish in their hearts forever.

The British built the railway in 1903 to connect to the then summer capital, Shimla. The entire journey is breathtaking. As the train slowly chugs through the steep track, travellers can enjoy the view of majestic mountains and beautiful pine forests to their heart’s content.

The train covers a distance of 96 kilometres (60 miles) and passes through 20 railway stations, 800 bridges and 102 tunnels and takes about 900 splendid curves.

The longest tunnel is near Barog, which is the main railway station. It is more than one kilometre. The most exquisite scenery is from Barog to Shimla. It takes your breath away, literally.

People come to Himachal Pradesh bogged down by life’s pressures and tensions. They return home completely rejuvenated in mind, body and spirit. The place instils a positivity and cheerfulness in visitors. They are more ready to resume their life’s routine after a heavenly trip to Himachal Pradesh.
