Four Scenic Indian Train Journeys Worth Taking Once

Some train rides in India are special because of the views along the way.

They can show passengers mountains, valleys, forests, rivers and coastlines.

One such journey is the Kalka–Shimla Toy Train.

It starts in Kalka and travels into the hills of Himachal Pradesh.

The train passes forests, bridges, tunnels and small hill stations.

It eventually reaches Shimla.

The railway has a narrow-gauge track and is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Its slow pace lets travellers enjoy the landscape instead of simply driving to Shimla.
