Welcome to Kasauli !!

Kasauli, unlike other popular hill stations such as Shimla and kullu, is a quiet town. It is ideal for people who want to spend a holiday in the midst of green hills and untouched natural beauty. If you are a solitude lover or an artist, it has everything you could want, scenic beauty, serenity and warm, friendly people.

77-km from Shimla and 35-km from Kalka, at 1,927m, Kasauli is a quaint little town that seems to exist in a time wrap of an era that reminds one of the 19th century. Its colonial ambience is reinforced by cobbled paths, quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades and scores of neat little gardens and orchards. Mixed forests of chir-pine, Himalayan oak and huge horse chestnuts surround Kasauli. Its narrow road slither up and down the hillsides and offer some magnificent vistas.

Kasauli has two Mall roads, namely the Upper Mall & the Lower Mall. The Upper Mall has very few and limited shops, while the Lower Mall has many shops with variable varieties. The architecture of the British-era building is impressive. Since Kasauli has large Army presence, new construction is not allowed, which eventually has saved Kasauli from becoming another concrete jungle.

Not many hotels are available in Kasauli. So, it is better to book a room in Kasauli before you go. Even in off season and especially during the weekends, it is difficult to find decent accommodation in Kasauli.
