Shivalik Deluxe Express: Charming journey from Kalka to Shimla

In this video you can understand everything about one of the most Elite Heritage train in Indian Railway.
The Kalka-Shimla Railway was built to connect Shimla, the summer capital of India during the British Raj, with the Indian rail system. It was inaugurated by Viceroy of India Lord Curzon. The 96.54 km route is famous for its scenery and improbable construction. The railway was declared a heritage by the Himachal Pradesh government in 2007, and in 2008 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongwith the other Mountain Railways of India.
The best train to travel by this route is the Shivalik Deluxe Express, which starts in the early morning at 5.20 am from Kalka.
Shivalik Deluxe Express is the official connecting train to Howrah-Kalka Mail (via Delhi). In case Howrah mail gets delayed, departure of Shivalik Express is delayed at Kalka. Similarly, Kalka-Howrah mail starts late if Shivalik Deluxe arrives late from Shimla Related.
The Shivalik Express is best known for its ambience. The coaches are well equipped with reversible cushioned seats, foldable tables for serving food, wall to wall carpeting and wide glass windows, which can be opened. Good relaxing music is played to enhance a more pleasant atmosphere. Indian Railways clubs Shivalik Deluxe in the same category as Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express. Accordingly, price of water bottle, tea and breakfast is included in the ticket fare and the same is served on the train almost right at the beginning. There is only one scheduled stop, at the picturesque Barog station where you can pick the newspaper. The scenery becomes enchanting after Barog Station.
Shivalik Deluxe has single seats on one side and 2x2 on the other side. While going towards Shimla, choose seats on the right, behind the driver, for best views. Seats are numbered but the attendent has the final say.Most of the time during the journey from Kalka to Shimla the valley falls in right side of the train.
It passes through 102 tunnels to reach Shimla . It takes 5 to 5.30 hours to reach Shimla railway station from Kalka. The train route passes through beautiful valley and hills moving upwards throughout its journey upto Shimla.
RECOMMEND/REMARKS-
I recommend this train service from Kalka to Shimla.
