Kalka - Shimla Railway, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh

Kalka-Shimla Railway line has been granted 'World Heritage Status' by UNESCO. If you're planning a journey please make sure that you check the departure timings and grab your seats well in advance as theres a huge crowd of holiday makers.

The journey is long (5-6 hours) and takes you through a picturesque landscape full of green hills, oak trees, wild pomegrenates, brick viaducts, himalyan springs. You can criticize it for its long duration (if you go to shimla by road, it wont take more than 3 hours), but the long time is only reason why people take the train so that they can enjoy it.
