The Shimla Toy Train: India's Most Scenic Journey

[@sayanmandal1289]

Older one is in Darjeeling a beautiful hill station.😊

[@libandames]

We were definitely sad we didn’t make it there on this trip, definitely next time!

[@TheSanthalVlogger]

Darjeeling isn’t that beautiful like SHIMLA. SHIMLA is well planned bill towns. People visits Darjeeling for tea gardens.

[@sumitriyal4343]

Shimla train is UNESCO world heritage its world famous

[@NitinKataria-yj8gz]

But that's still Bengal and this is Himachal, so it's a democratic and sane area

[@Rupenpakhrin11]

Darjeeling is darjeeling

[@laxminarayanverma8875]

Welcome to India/Bharat 🙏🇮🇳

[@libandames]

Thank you so much!

[@Seriouslyfunny1]

Welcome to India. Hope you have a great time here :) Though June onwards is the best time for this train ride, because monsoon rains are starting and the mountains become lush green and dark clouds cover the sky to give a breathtaking sight. If mountains are what you like, then do visit Dalhousie, Kedarnath and Spiti Valley, which border with the Himalayas. They are close to Shimla. A bit on the east is Sikkim and Darjeeling, which are also beautiful.

[@libandames]

Sounds good! Thanks!

Both of you girls be carefull dont be "extra adventurous" you may be unsafe then, because first you get extra adventurous then blame our country that its unsafe, every country is dangerous if you are not careful.There is only 0.01% chance of being harrased in india even if you go to lonely and unsafe places so dont worry but be cautious.

[@vision_111]

Welcome girls.. just be cautious and safe in the metro cities like delhi specifically. It could be dangerous like new york. I hope you understand. And not every temple is worth visiting. Avoid bihar, jharkhand, orrisa, Uttar Pradesh(U.P) to be safe. I would suggest not eat street foods for 2-3 meals in a row or 2-3 days in a row.. bcoz they can upset your stomach.. even we indians don't eat that too often. Have a nice and delightful journey. And plz don't show unnecessary negativity in your videos. ❤
