I first travelled to Shimla as a 6 year old. That was the 90s, and life was simpler, so every travel memory is so deeply etched in my memory. I vividly remember taking a train from Delhi to Shimla, changing trains at Kalka station, and taking a toy train for the last leg of the visit. I have pictures of myself hanging from the blue (stationary!) toy train, and loving the wooden doors, cosy seating and the memorable views. Nowadays, Shimla is one of the most frequented hill-stations for North-Indians, and almost second nature for Delhiites to head to this charming hill-town for a quick getaway away from the town.
