Step aboard the historic Kalka–Shimla toy train and slip into a slower, more charming time. Built in 1903 by the British to reach Shimla, the former summer capital, this narrow-gauge railway is counted among India’s most scenic train journeys. As the train gently climbs uphill, it winds through rugged mountain landscapes, pine forests, and quiet curves that feel far removed from the modern world of travel.
The toy train offers some of the most peaceful views around Kasauli. You can board from Dharampur, travel up to Barog, and return on the same route, making it a relaxed one-hour journey filled with long tunnels, forested stretches, and hillside vistas. Every bend reveals something new—misty trees, old stone bridges, or the soft rhythm of the train echoing through the hills.
Declared a heritage railway by the Himachal Pradesh government in 2007 and later recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, this mountain railway is one of only three toy train routes still running in India, alongside Ooty and Darjeeling. When in Kasauli, this timeless train ride is simply unmissable.
