Now Shimla is very well connected but we still opted for the train journey from Delhi and afterwards boarded the famous Kalka-Shimla Train, which is also famous with name “Toy Train.” Kalka-Shimla Railway became part of the World Heritage Site Mountain Railways of India.
Aayan is a big fan of Thomas trains so this one always use to fascinate him and we got an opportunity to visit the place. For Kaira this was her 1st train journey so she was quite amused looking at the surrounding.
Though the train journey is pretty slow somewhat around 5-6 hours but i find time is less to admire the beauty of this place and what else you can ask for sitting in a train with nice breeze, gorgeous landscape and rain.
On the way it started raining heavily and we can’t capture anything so just few lovely droplets on the window glass.
Clear view from the train and love that magical mystic smoke on the mountains, it just takes you to a different world.
Train stopped at Tara Devi station for a while.
Few more clicks to enjoy till the train starts the journey again-
I am just finishing my post with the photo of my little darling as she was happy that time.
Though I feel that words are not enough to write about the beauty of this place but surely it is a worth experience and a wonderful memory.
wow ! very nice journey . This route is really very beautiful. I would love to be there a day on this route.
Thanks.. It was indeed a very beautiful journey and at the same time to enjoy every bit of nature. Do visit it once you will surely love it.
Summer capital because it is mountainous and cool there? I like mountainous areas myself. In our country, we do not have trains going up the mountains though.
Oh what a beautiful journey! I love these old trains, there's something so stately yet homely about time that speaks of the romance of travel in those days gone by.
I find long train rides with beautiful nature vistas relaxing. I love nature, I enjoy looking at mountain views.
Thanks so much for the tour here, its been a while I haven't ride a train. This is a relaxing ride, though its raining, it doesn't change the atmosphere of your journey.
Looks like a fun journey. That's what I love about long train rides. You get to enjoy the beautiful views.
Picturesque mountains. Looks like a nice getaway for the family. The baby is so happy in the last photo.
I used to love long train journeys. Nowadays the fast-paced society is making me feel like i'm in a rush always. :/
The view in the journey is really scenic and even better as you've reached your destination. It must be epic riding this 113 year old train railways.
What a great and fun jorney with your whole family you had. I bet your whole family enjoyed your trip
Nice to see spending time with your family. I love those railroad…great history indeed. A 113 year old Toy train is phenomenal.
I love train rides (not the ones we have in our country though) because it gives the chance to view the beauty of one's place. Your son did look like he's really enjoying his experience. 🙂
Wow! such a pleasant journey for your boy. Seldom do I take train ride .
What a fun journey. I bet your kids had a delightful time. I would love to ride on the toy train, too 🙂
It has been a while since I last took a train to anywhere. Sometimes is nice to take train although it will take more time than express coach or flight but we get to enjoy the country side scenery.
your kids probably had lots of fun! it seems like young kids love trains, don't they?
aw this looks so fun and the kids are cute! any kid would love this
It's interesting to be taking a train journey~ I've never tried that except the speed rail which i end up dozing inside instead…
Such a beautiful piece of history in India! I wish we had something as nice as this in the Philippines! 🙂
What a great place to travel and relax. I seldom take train but would love to go if I can.
What an enjoyable fun train ride for the family! Would love to experience this too and go through more than a hundred tunnels. Your kiddos are adorable, love your baby girl's smile!
Very nice to ride around the mountains through this medium and you really enjoyed it. Government of India should spend an amount to elevate their trains to modernity.
I am not the travelling type of person still I liked this post and the variety of pictures you posted! Thanks a lot for the share! 😀
Its already on my list and yeah great content and photographs.
I think a bit of rain made the train journey even more enjoyable! Loved the photos!
Omg! My little boy would really love this. I hope they have one here in Singapore
This looks like a super cool adventure and the boys are too cute.

I didn't know this much about Darjeeling. The view and the weather looks amazing.
What a beautiful journey!Your pics are lovely and the scenery looks great!You seem to have enjoyed it a lot!
Thank you for the interesting read. What a route less travelled. My boys love trains too, so I can imagine the delight of your boys to ride in the train.
My boy is a fan of trains, so I think he would love this! Such a quaint and interesting experience!
I am always very intrigued with India and this is an interesting insight. Such an interesting experience especially for the kids.
Train rides are always so fun and interesting with so much to see along the way. This will be such a treat for my girl too.
What a lovely train ride! I can image how scenic the view is! Would love to be on a choo choo train journey!
The scenery of the train ride through the Himalayas must be breathtaking. Thanks for sharing!
