Best Things to Do in Kasauli

Welcome to the Quiet Colonial Hill Town

Kasauli is small, peaceful, and refreshing. Pine forests cover the hills, old British-era houses still stand along winding roads, and the air feels cool even in summer. It’s not crowded or rushed, which is exactly what makes it special. People come here to slow down, walk through nature, and enjoy simple mountain views. Kasauli is perfect for couples, families, and anyone who wants a calm weekend in the hills without long travel.


Must-Visit Attractions in Kasauli

Monkey Point (Manki Point)

This is the highest point in Kasauli and offers wide views of the surrounding hills and plains. On a clear day, you can even see the Sutlej River and distant snow peaks. The Hanuman temple at the top adds to the experience.

Gilbert Trail

Gilbert Trail is one of the most scenic walking paths in Kasauli. The narrow trail passes through dense forest and opens up to beautiful valley views. It’s quiet, green, and perfect for nature lovers and photographers.

Christ Church

Built during the British era, Christ Church stands near the Mall Road and is surrounded by tall deodar trees. Its simple stone architecture and peaceful atmosphere make it a pleasant stop.

Sunset Point and Lover’s Lane

These viewpoints are famous for evening walks. The sky turns orange and pink as the sun sets behind the hills, and the surrounding silence makes the moment even better.
