Kalka-Shimla Toy Train

For good reason, the Kalka-Shimla train trip is a highlight of Shimla tourism. UNESCO just included this narrow-gauge railway to the mountain railroads of India World Heritage Site, which was built in 1898. The train trip gives amazing views of the surrounding hills and villages as it winds along the exceptionally picturesque and rugged route from the Shivalik Range foothills at Kalka (Haryana) to Shimla. It stops at a variety of tourist spots along the road, including Solan, Dharampur, Summer Hill, Salogra, Taradevi, and Barog. You'll pass through 864 bridges, 919 turns, and 102 tunnels on your way to the top.
