Kalka Shimla Railway: Toy Train Travel Guide
Four regular tourist train services run on the Kalka Shimla railway. These are:
Shivalik Deluxe Express -- a premium express train with carpet, wide glass windows, cushioned seats, relaxing music, and upgraded toilets. It fits 120 passengers. Food is provided, and the train only has one stop at Barog. It departs Kalka at 5.45 a.m and arrives in Shimla at 10.25 a.m.
Himalayan Queen -- a standard train, with first and second class carriages. Food isn't provided but can be purchased at the nine stations it stops at along the way. Some of the stops are for 5-10 minutes, so this train is the most suitable for those who like to get out and explore. You'll be able to take plenty of photos.
Rail Motor Car -- uniquely resembles a bus from the time of the Second World War. It's got a transparent roof, and fits only 14 passengers. It's also an express service, with food provided. There is one stop, at Barog. It can be difficult to get tickets though. It departs Kalka at 5.25 a.m and arrives at 9.25 a.m
Vistadome Him Darshan Express -- a new train with seven carriages featuring glass roofs and modified windows to provide panoramic views. It is the only train that's air-conditioned. It departs Kalka at 7 a.m. and arrives in Shimla at 12.55 p.m., with one stop at Barog
Toy Train Travel Tip : To have the most comfortable experience, choose either the Shivalik Deluxe Express, Rail Motor Car, or Vistadome trains. Unless you travel in first class, common complaints about the Himalayan Queen are overcrowding, hard bench seats, dirty toilets and nowhere to store luggage.
The train fares are as follows:
Shivalik Deluxe Express -- 510 rupees one way for adults, and 255 rupees for children.
Himalayan Queen -- 470 rupees one way for adults, and 235 rupees for children.
Rail Motor Car -- 320 rupees one way for adults, and 160 rupees for children.
Vistadome Him Darshan Express - 800 rupees per passenger, one way. Kalka
Shimla NG Passenger -- 270 rupees one way for adults in first class, and 135 rupees for children. 25 rupees for unreserved seating.
Kalka-Shimla NG Express -- 295 rupees one way for adults in first class, and 150 rupees for children. 65 rupees one way for adults in second class, and 25 rupees for children. 25 rupees for unreserved seating.
The best views are on the right side of the train when going to Shimla, and the left side when returning.
If you find it necessary to stay overnight at Kalka, there are very few accommodations to choose from. A better option is to head to Parwanoo, a few kilometers away. Himachal Pradesh Tourism has an unremarkable hotel there (The Shivalik hotel). Alternatively, if you want to splurge, Moksha Spa is one of the top Himalayan spa resorts in India.
