It was a short trip during this dussehera weekend. Started from Delhi. We boarded Himalyan Queen Express @5.30am from Sarai Rohilla station. If you are planning a budget travel, better to take Himalyan Queen exp.
From kalka, you can take a Taxi (roughly costs around 1200-1300) or you can take a bus (if, on budget but takes more time and tiresome). View from road is awesome with various curves and lush green view.
we got into hotel and the view from hotel was awesome and breathtaking.
