This century old railway is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, together with the DHR railway, noted for it’s technical achievement as well as spectacular location. Unfortunately, in the purest Indian spirit, trash is generally present, caused by travelers who refuse to use the bin and throw everything off the windows. But, as long as you look further than 100m, things look really nice.
Although there are no loops or zig-zagz, 893 bridges and 103 tunnels are needed to negotiate the rough terrain. The journey is 95km long and lasts 6 hours.
At the end we arrived in Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh and former summer capital of the British Raj.
