In and Around the Town

                

Kasuali 24 Kms from the guest house, Kasauli lies at the height of 1927 metres amidst the pines, deodars and oaks. Kasauli is a quaint little town that seems to exist in a time wrap in an era that reminds 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. Hotels in Kasauli are aplenty but they are usually packed in season desoite being expensive. Kasauli is surrounded by a mixed forest of chir-pine, Himalyan oak and huge horse-chestnuts. Its narrow roadslither up and down the hillsides and offer some magnificent vistas. You can get vantage views from Monkey Point barely 4 k.m. from the bus stand.
