The Kasauli Toy Train: A Journey Through Time


The Kasauli Toy Train, also known as the Kasauli to Shimla Toy Train, is a historic narrow-gauge railway line that connects Kalka, a town in Haryana, to Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh. Built during the British era in the late 19th century, this marvel of engineering has not only stood the test of time but has also been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving its heritage for generations to come.

The Scenic Route:


The journey on the Kasauli Toy Train is nothing short of magical. As you board the quaint train, you'll be transported back in time to an era when steam engines ruled the tracks. The train chugs through lush forests, over deep valleys and across towering bridges. The scenic beauty of the hills in Himachal Pradesh, dotted with pine and oak trees, is a sight to behold. The journey offers panoramic vistas that are a photographer's dream.

Kalka to Kasauli Toy Train


While the Kasauli Toy Train doesn't have a direct route to Kasauli, you can board it from Kalka, a town that's approximately an hour's drive away from Kasauli. From Kalka, you can embark on a mesmerising journey up the hills, passing through small hamlets and dense forests, before reaching the charming town of Shimla. During the trip, which takes around 5-7 hours, you'll have the opportunity to soak in the beauty of Himachal Pradesh's landscapes from the comfort of your train seat.
