Shimla Narrow Gauge railway
Shimla Narrow Gauge railway
India
March 2005
The narrow gauge Kalka Shimla Railway connects Shimla to the main railway network at Kalka. Travel by rail is slow but the scenery and 103 tunnels en route make it a fabulous trip. Shivalik Express (deluxe train with facilities like Shatabdi Express) runs daily on this route.
We took the train to one of the intermediate stations, then we had a rather good lunchbreak at a restaurant with a lovely garden, followed by the train back to Delhi, where our trip to India ended. We then flew back to London.
Entance to one of the many tunnels.

Friendly Indian family.
They took a picture of us, we took a picture of them!
