Kasauli

Kasauli is not a destination for the hurried traveler. It is a place where you come to listen to the wind through the pines and watch the clouds drift over red-tiled roofs. Unlike its busier neighbor Shimla, Kasauli has successfully preserved its cantonment heritage. Most travelers spend 2 days here, allowing for long morning walks on the Gilbert Trail and quiet evenings at the Mall Road market.

The culinary scene is a modest but delicious affair. You must try the local 'Bun Samosa' and the apple pickles sold by local cooperatives. For those who enjoy heritage, the Kasauli Brewery—established in the 1820s—is a fascinating glimpse into industrial history. Whether you are climbing to the sacred heights of Monkey Point or simply reading a book on a wooden bench at Sunset Point, Kasauli offers a soulful, quiet Himalayan getaway.
