About the Toy Train -
The "Toy Train" due to its small size and narrow tracks, this locomotive marvels, the travellers with its vintage allure and leisurely pace.
As the train chugs along the winding tracks, it offers passengers panoramic views of mist-covered valleys, verdant forests, and quaint hillside villages. The rhythmic clatter of the wheels against the tracks and the gentle swaying of the carriages evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting travelers to a simpler time.
The train departs from Kalka, a bustling town in the foothills of the Himalayas, and ascends over 4,000 feet to reach Shimla, traversing 96 kilometers of breathtaking terrain along the way.
One of the highlights of the journey is the passage through the Barog Tunnel, the longest tunnel on the route, which offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The train also passes through picturesque hill stations like Solan and Barog, each with its own distinct charm and character.
The journey takes approximately five to six hours to complete, allowing passengers ample time to soak in the scenic beauty and enjoy the leisurely pace of the ride. As it winds its way through the timeless landscapes of the Himalayas, it invites travelers to step back in time and experience the romance of rail travel. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a unique adventure, a journey on the Shimla Toy Train promises memories that will last a lifetime.
