Kalka Shimla Railway- Must See Documentary by wocomoTRAVEL
- 6 years ago
This route is a list of superlatives: the train from Kalka-Shimla climbs the foothills of the Himalayas on a route of 96.5 kms.
The railway line passes through spectacular mountain landscapes, climbs up to 1.500m above sea level, drives through 103 tunnels, crosses 864 bridges and takes 919 turns.
Only the travel time is not a record: the Kalka-Shimla’s travel is about six hours long. Nevertheless - or perhaps precisely because of it - locals enjoy the journey as much as the tourists who came to discover the north of India.
The Kalka-Shimla Railway is a Wolrd Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2008.
The Kalka-Shimla Railway, the Kangra-Valley Railway and the Matheran-Hill Railway form a network of narrow gauge railways in India that are lovingly called „toy trains“.
These trains travel on narrow gauges over hundreds of breathtaking bridges in curves and tunnels that slowly meander through the captivating Himalayan countryside.
With beautiful and powerful high-definition imagery (1080p), renowned ARD filmmaker Peter Weinert takes railway fans and enthusiasts of exciting travel documentaries on a journey into an extraordinary world.
