Himalayas Tour By Train with Amritsar [Golden Temple] & Shimla Toy Train Tour [10 Days]

This ten-day trip through northern India traces the era of the British Raj, from Delhi's museums and tombs to Shimla, the old summer capital of the British empire. It mixes classic sights with quieter, lesser-visited spots so you get a real sense of the region without constant crowds.

A highlight is the train ride through the Himalayan foothills, where snowy peaks and plateaus roll past the window on the way up to Shimla. There's also time in Amritsar to take in the Golden Temple, one of the trip's cultural anchors.

This is a fully guided, private tour, so it can be shaped around your pace and interests, including over Christmas and New Year if that's when you're travelling.
