Kalka, 90 km from Shimla, is the railhead where the UNESCO-listed Kalka–Shimla toy train begins its 96 km climb to Shimla. The drive from Shimla follows NH-5 through Solan, Dharampur and Pinjore, descending to the foothills in about 2.5 hours. Kalka sits at 650 m at the base of the Himalayas and is the last major town before the climb to Shimla begins.
Many travellers arriving by train from Delhi or Chandigarh switch to a cab at Kalka rather than taking the 5-hour toy train. The road is four-lane and in good condition. Kalka railway station is the main pickup point; we also pick up from Pinjore and Dharampur.
