    Yes. The Kalka Shimla trains run even during Winter. However not all services are available. There is likelihood that some services are cancelled and the possibility of delay is very much there due to bad weather.

    Roads are open round the year throughout Himachal except for the road to Leh via Rohtang. You can very well travel by road upto Manali. Again the movement will be slow but beautiful for sure.
