Is it better to take the Toy Train or just go by car?

This is the most common dilemma! If you are a first-timer, the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train is a beautiful UNESCO experience with over 100 tunnels and stunning bridge views. However, it takes about 5 to 6 hours just to cover 96 km. If you are traveling with family, kids, or heavy luggage, it can get quite tiring. Most travelers now prefer a shimla and manali tour by car. Going by car is much faster, offers better legroom, and allows you to stop whenever you see a beautiful viewpoint or a good dhaba. Plus, once you reach Shimla, having your own car makes it much easier to visit spots like Kufri or Mashobra without waiting for local taxis. For the best of both worlds, take the train for one short leg and use a car for the rest of the journey!
