Planning a winter vacation? Shimla’s quaint little toy train, braving through heavy snow, traversing across the beautiful valley makes for a magical experience!
Did You Know?
- The Kalka-Shimla Railway is more than a 100 years old!
- The train stretches 96kms, passes through 102 tunnels, goes over 969 bridges and along 919 curves; all in a 6 hour breathtakingly beautiful journey!
- It journeys through an altitude of 2,100ft at Kalka to 5100ft at Shimla, so be prepared for that heady feeling as you get off!
When travelling in the hills, the weather can be quite unpredictable, so remember to carry the right gear for the season. In summers, Shimla is refreshingly cool, apart from a few light showers. You could carry a sweatshirt in case you tend to catch a cold or a light wind cheater for that hilly drizzle.
However, if you are looking to get away from the vacation crowds, experience Shimla's splendor from mid August to February. The temperature ranges from a cool 12 degrees c to a chilly 0 degrees c.
During this weather, you can thermals, sweatshirts or sweaters and a wind proof warm jacket for layering.
All set for your dream vacation in the hills!
