Kalka Railway Station to Shimla Hotel Transfer Destination Reviews

Zdenek R

Very nice mountain train. Small carriages for 15 people each. Very nice scenery. The train was 150 minutes lates as the mons brough for the track. But that was not an issue as the journey is the experience. 100 kms bring 100 tunnels and 1000 bridges. Normally scheduled to take 5 hours.
