The 2S class has wooden benches. Off course the journey is a little bumpy when compared to the first class.

Hi Shoaib

If you have booked the First class, keep your fingers crossed as this being season time there could be some surprises. Normally. the wait list should get cleared.

The Shimla bound Himalayan Queen only leaves when trains from Delhi arrive. This train connects 2 trains from Delhi, the 14095 Himalayan Queen and the Shatabdi Express which arrives at 11.45 am. This being a tourist \'toy\' train, local do not travel on the train as it takes longer time to reach Shimla than by road.

These pictures are that of the Kufri tourist place. Resorts nearby are quite good. Toshali Resort and Shilon Resot are about 10 km from Kufri towards Chail and best for tranquility.

Can\'t say this about Kufri Resort as it is just before the mentioned tourist place. It is fine if you stay within the Resort but once you come out you know what to expect.

Hope this helps.

Weather will be pleasant in October in Shimla as monsoon is over by then. It will be a little crowdy if you are traveling during the Puja holidays.

From Shimla to Manali you can take HRTC or HPTDC buses. HPTDC runs a daily deluxe bus from Shimla which leaves at 8.30 am to Manali and can be booked online on HPTDC website. HRTC (state transport) also runs daily service to Manali and you can check the time table online.

In case you wish to hire a cab, get in touch with Himachal Taxi with your requirement. They can offer cabs for Manali drop or for your entire trip.

Hi

Thanks for your comment here. July is monsoon season in Himachal. If you enjoy traveling in the rains, you are welcome :)

Trains on these tracks do not have pantry cars and all food is sourced at Barog Railway station. Regarding refund rules, they remain the same as for other Indian Railway trains which can be accessed here on the Indian Railways site.

Hi

July is the best time to travel to Lahul and Spiti as these are the summer months for these areas. If you need any help in planning your tour please send me an email

Hi Muneer

July is definitely a rainy season in Himachal. Shimla and Manali are major tourist destinations and there is not much of a landslide problem on highways. It is only when you move above Manali towards Rohtang that landslides happen frequently. More than the landslides, I guess it will be the rains which will be a major factor in your travels. It rains heavily in July here.

Hi Charles

This train has a general compartment and you will have to get your ticket okeyed by the TT to sit in the general compartment. It is the peak tourist time here and getting a seat in the unreserved compartment can be a problem.

You cannot travel on other two trains with the ticket of train no 52453.
