Himachal Pradesh : Toy Trains |
 |
Pathankot to Joginder Nagar ( Trains and their
timings including ordinary and luxury trains. |
Unlike the Shimla-Kalka train,
where the passengers spend most of the time going through tunnels,
the Kangra toy train linking Pathankot and Joginder Nagar gently meanders
through a maze of hills and valleys, offering the travellers enchantingly
scenic view. The work on this line started in 1926. Three years later
this, 163 km.
long route was opened to traffic. The entire route commands glorious
views of nature and unveils myriad facets of history, art and culture.
The grand spectacle of Kangra Valley begins unfolding after the train
enters the foothills. Hillocks rise on both sides and as the train
moves over the meandering streams, the Dhauladhar begin to gain in
prominence. Emerging through Daulatpur tunnel and past the ruins of
the old Kangra fort, one is surprised by the change in the landscape.
The Dhauladhar rises up 13,000 feet from the valley floor. The wide
Kangra Valley, with its well-watered terraces, is simply superb. As
the train inches on, the passengers adore the open countryside and
the shining white peaks. An unmistakable pine scent fills the air
and the track is suddenly fringed on both sides by the tea gardens
of the Palampur region. The stretch between Baijnath and Joginder
Nagar is the steepest. Here the train moves at a snail's pace till
it reaches the highest point on the track at Ahju. Not far from here
are the popular para-gliding and hang-gliding sites of Bir and Billing.
As the train approaches Joginder Nagar, the white mountains, gradually
begin fading away.
