[Continued from
Visit to Agra] We boarded the 12011 New Delhi-Kalka Shatabdi Express at 07:40 am from New Delhi railway station and reached Kalka at 11:45 am. From there we boarded the Himalayan Queen Express which is a toy train. It departed from Kalka at 12:10 pm. It was a thrilling journey as the train chugged through narrow tunnels, breathtaking bridges and panoramic green valleys. It was beautiful, truly beautiful. We reached Shimla at around 6 o' clock in the evening. We booked a room at a Hotel Moon Palace. The hotel is located near the Mall, the centre of the town. After settling all the luggage in the room we set out to have a first glimpse of the city. After roaming for sometime we entered a restaurant to have lunch. The food was quite good and the price was also reasonable. After that we came back to our hotel and crawled straight into the bed.
