32. Mountain Railways of India

Kalka-Shimla Train, HImanchal Pradesh (Source)

The mountain railways of India comprise of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the Nilgiri Mountain Railway and theKalka-Shimla Railway and are a part of the World Heritage Sites in India. North Bengal is one of the most beautiful scenic temptations on Earth. Fun Toy Train, beautiful Tea Plantations and long tunnels or the Tiger Hills, all will cater to your delight. Built during the 19th and early 20th century, these engineering marvels were a bold and ingenuous solution to the problem of connectivity in the rugged mountains and a gem in the heritage of India. Besides they pass thru the most beautiful terrain and you would love to take a romantic and fun ride here.

Very nice post pandithji, I have visited hampi, pattadakal, western ghats, bruhadeshwara temple, mahabalipuram, taj mahal, Agra fort, fatehpur sikri, kutubh minar, red fort, janthar manthar, Jaipur fort, body gaya, saranath.

I will definitely visit ajantha & ellora, khajuraho, suntemple, & rani ki vav.

But what I observed during my visit to khutub miner was that majority of the stones used were stones from destroyed temples, it is clearly visible that the carvings have been chiseled out or broken, many pillars from temples are used, I find it disturbing, I think it should not be in the list.
