Shimla - Quick Break| Winter Vacation| Holiday before Holiday Season

As you all must already be aware of my recent vacation. I bring to you details of our vacation.

Hope you like the blog. Shimla, capital city of Himachal Pradesh, is a place everybody wants to visit.

How we Traveled

I feel the best way to travel to Shimla is by train via Kalka. We were travelling from Delhi.

There are number of trains that run between Delhi and Kalka. We took the Delhi-Kalka Shatabdi. Our train started from Delhi at 7:40 AM and we were in Kalka at 11:40 AM.

Kalka is connected to Shimla through narrow gauge toy train. The Kalka-Shimla Toy Train is a journey one should not miss. We boarded the Himalayan Queen which is scheduled at 12.10 PM. The journey between Kalka and Shimla took around 5 hours.

The toy train passes through multiple tunnel and your eyes are treated to beautiful sceneries of Mountains and Valleys of Deodar trees.

Where we Stayed

Thanks to Mommy and her Job at Bank of India, holiday homes have always been our bet for stay options during vacations.

None of us like those fancy hotels. What we look for are clean place to stay with good food for dinner option.

The associated hotel’s name is The TARA Lodge (do not go by the name J it was quite good with basic amenities and really good food!). It is walking distance from the High court parking and the walk to the MALL Road was also very easy.

                         

Tourist We

We reached on Saturday evening and spend the rest of the day at ease. Had some hot cup of tea and dinner and got accustomed to the weather. It wasn’t very chilly as there has been no Snowfall yet.
