From Varanasi we took a plane back to Delhi. From Delhi we took a train to Kalka where we changed to a toy train, and took that the rest of the way. It was very early morning when we reached Kalka, and we had 1 or 2 hours before the toy train would leave, but not long after we arrived it was possible to get into the toy train and find out seats. Here are a picture of the toy train.
The next pictures are some of my favorite from the toy train ride.
One of the sights we went to see is the Jakhu Temple that is located on Jakhu hill. Here is a link to the story about Lord Hanuman http://hinduism.about.com/od/lordhanuman/a/hanuman.htm
If you choose to walk up the hill to the temple as we did you will come across this sign.
I must admit that according to this I am not fit at all, I think it took around 45 min to get to the temple. Below there are a few pictures from the walk to the temple and the temple.
After this we spend the next few days doing a tour of the surdrounding of Shimla and walking in the city, before the trip back to Delhi. And my trip home to Copenhagen.
We stayed in Shimla for a few days, like Gangtok in Sikkim, it reminds me more of an European city in the hills than of India. As a European that was struggeling a bit to get use to the heat, a trip up to the mountains was perfect, the weather was still warm, but now it was only around 25-30 degrees. So much more comftable for me. Below you can find a few pictures of the city and sights in the city.
