Question Five HRTC buses

There are five buses from Haridwar to Shimla run by HRTC, possibly more by other states [uttaranchal?]

See this link time table for HRTC ....

Kalka also comes enroute, so you can choose to get down at Kalka or continue by the same bus to Shimla

Rishikesh to Simla

Option 1:
Train #4609 Hemkunt Express leaves Rishikesh daily at 16:20, arrives Amballa Cantt at 21:15. Stay overnight in Amballa Cantt, and take #4095 Himalayan Queen at 09:45, arriving Kalka at 11:20; take #255 leaving Kalka at 12:10, arriving Simla 17:20.

Or stay in the station waiting room at Amballa Cantt, and at 02:30 take #2311 Kalka Mail to arrive Kalka at 04:55, and take #241 leaving Kalka 05:30 to arrive Simla 10:15.

Option 2:
Bus or shared autorickshaw from Rishikesh to Haridwar. Train #2053 Janshatabdi leaves Haridwar at 14:35, arrives Amballa Cantt 17:30. Train #2005 Kalka Shatabdi leaves Amballa Cantt 19:47, arrives Kalka 21:15. Stay overnight in Kalka. Train #1KS leaves Kalka 04:00, arrives Simla 09:15.
