    🇺🇸 - In this India Travel Vlog we will be showing you our first toy train journey. If you enjoy this tour, then be sure to subscribe to see our upcoming videos from across India. You should add India to your travel wishlist! In this India travel guide and India vlog we will show you this must-visit country! India is known by many names - Jambudweepa, Al-Hind, Hindustan, Tenjiku, Aryavarta, and Bharat. One country, many names. Jai Hind!
    So far in India we have taken a 12 hour train from Delhi to Amritsar where we met quite a few interesting characters. From there we did a "do it yourself" food tour of India's best food and now we are making our way to Shimla; a hillstation at the foothills of the Himalayas. We are going from Kalka to Shimla via the Himalayan Queen; along the rail that is a UNESCO World Heritage site and was built in 1903. Today we will show you India's most Scenic Train Journey.

    Technically, the most scenic train route in India is the New Jalpaiguri - Darjeeling route, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage, but Kalka - Shimla is amazing too, especially during snow season.

    What an awesome looking train, both inside and out! Very traditional and loved the atmosphere in the carriage. Epic footage and views along the way, I think you may be right about it being the most scenic train in India. Everyone was really friendly and you got to hang out of the window - it's not a contender for best train ride if you can't do that!
