The Kalka-Shimla Railway is a UNESCO World Heritage narrow-gauge railway that has been chugging through the Himalayan foothills since 1903. The 96 km journey from Kalka (656m) to Shimla (2,076m) traverses 102 tunnels, 800+ bridges, and 919 curves as it climbs through terraced fields, pine forests, and dramatic mountain scenery. The engineering marvel was built by the British to connect their summer capital to the plains, and riding it today feels like traveling through a living museum. The toy train's gentle pace allows you to absorb every twist and tunnel of the Himalayan landscape.
What makes this place special
The longest tunnel on the route at 1,143 meters, with a haunting legend about the engineer Colonel Barog who the tunnel is named after.

A multi-arched gallery bridge that curves dramatically along the mountainside, offering spectacular views of the valley below — one of the most photographed railway bridges in India.
The final 30 km climb offers the most dramatic scenery — deep valleys, towering deodars, terraced hillsides, and the first glimpses of Shimla perched on its ridge.
