In hilly terrain, it’s very difficult to lay railway tracks, so if you want to travel through Rail, the nearest that you can get to himachal through train is Kalka. After that you will have to either use a taxi or a bus.
By road – Bus & Taxi service
Though Himachal is connected to all major Indian cities by road, out of bus and Taxi, a Taxi is the best option to travel comfortably! It also saves time.
February through June is the best time to visit Himachal in its full glory, and if you want to visit Himachal for snow, months of December through February are the best.
It will not be wrong to say that Himachal is a sort of year-round destination as tourists also visit it in Monsoon season. July through September months are really pleasant and people visit HP despite the fact that it become prone to landslides because of heavy rains. Autumn months are great too if you want to see the valleys painted in colors.
