I thought buses just waited till they were full, added an extra 30 passengers then departed.

As for the train......

The station codes you need are.....

Kalka = KLK
Simla = SML

Below I have coppied another post I done to help everyone with the Indian Railways website.

Here's how to get the trains between a pair of stations........


Go to the following page.

http://www.indianrail.gov.in/src_dest_trns.html

Enter Source Station Code - KLK

Enter Destination Station Code - SML

(To get station codes, click here.)

Enter Class - All Class

Then click on Get It.



onto next page........to get availability.

Click on circle next to train number.

Please check Days Of Run as not all trains are daily.

Look at top left of screen.....

Enter Your Journey Date - 30 - Oct. (for example)

Enter Quota - General or Foreign Tourist Quota

Look at the top right of the screen for Classes, click on the circle next to the class you want (make sure it's on the same line as the train you want).

Then click on Get Availability

Himachal Tourism runs coaches from Shimla to Manali. You can reserve them by sending a email at hptdc@sancharnet.in Check this link for more details http://www.hptdc.nic.in/trans.htm

For Railway timings from Kalka to Shimla check out the Railway link at http://www.hptdc.nic.in/access.htm#rail

You can reserve the tickets at http://www.irctc.co.in/

Hope this helps.. Happy travels in my state..

Thankyou steven_ber and Vasuki.
I followed the procedure on www.indianrail.gov.in and found availability and fares. But how do i book or reserve? There was a hyperlink for a reservation form and wheni clicked it, it showed me a form that had to be printed and filled in by hand. What do i do next??

I have sent an email for the bus bookings for Shimla-Manali.Thankyou very much.

for the busses - get to the nearest sales agent for HPTDC in bangalore and book by paying cash the volvo buses are comfortable and get sold out fast. get seats in the middle row meaning seat numbers from 10-25 as these are 30-35 seaters and the last row is not comfortable.

regards
