A boat out onto Sukhna Lake

Take a pedal boat, a shikara or the solar cruise out onto the rain-fed lake below the Shivaliks at the hour when the light goes flat and the whole city seems to be walking the promenade.

Boat charges set at the counter by type of craft; lake entry free · Daily, 5:00–21:00; winter mornings for migratory birds, evenings for the promenade

The Kalka–Shimla Railway from Kalka

Tunnels, arched viaducts and a continuous climb through pine and oak; the original locomotives came from Sharp, Stewart and later Hunslet.

from ₹65 · March to June and September to November; winter runs can be beautiful but cold
