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 is one of the small towns developed by the British during the 'hey day'
of the empire, and reached by a branch road from the Kalka-Shimla road.
