Heritage Train Ride

Shimla

Board the iconic Kalka–Shimla Railway — a UNESCO World Heritage narrow-gauge line built in 1903. The 96 km journey through 102 tunnels, 864 bridges, and 919 curves across breathtaking Himalayan scenery is a bucket-list rail experience.

5–6 hours (one way from Kalka)₹30–400 (chair car to 1st class AC)Year-round; misty monsoon and snowy winter add drama

Pro tip from your tour advisor

Sit on the right side of the train from Kalka for best valley views. The Shivalik Express is the most comfortable option.
