HILL STATIONS

My First Road Trip Adventure to the Tranquil Kasauli!

Dr Nikhil Aggarwal

Last updated: Apr 6, 2022

My cousin, a friend and I planned a road trip to Kasauli!

Due to the excitement of embarking on my first road trip, I could not even sleep properly the night before. Our trip started from Gurugram on a fine day in the month of May.  

One our way, we gorged on yummy parathas loaded with butter and sipped on some buttermilk at the popular Sukhdev Dhaba in Murthal.

We were hungry again! This time the snacks packed by my mom and sis rescued us. Then we had a few refreshments in Chandigarh, another pit stop. That day I understood why they call Chandigarh as “city beautiful”.

Soon we were on the winding roads and amidst the cool mountain breeze. Wow!

After reaching Kasauli, we took some rest at our accommodation, Ros Commons. Soon we left for a stroll. Kasauli is a hill station apt for the lovers of tranquility and nature. We visited Kasauli Baptist Church to seek some blessings, the peaceful place lies just near the market.

Right in the middle of the market was Rudra Café, where you can enjoy yummy food in a cozy atmosphere. Their lemon coriander soup, sweet corn soup and veg salt n pepper were great. The food was fresh and satisfied our taste buds. Everything was pocket-friendly! We even loved the music played there.

Soon it was raining heavily and we got drenched while walking back to the resort! However, the weather was heavenly.

The next day, we wanted to do some sightseeing. The Kalka Shimla toy train was on our list so we reached Dharampur, the closest station where we parked our vehicle and boarded the train! The cute little train moves slowly while offering splendid views of the mountains and the gigantic trees. Although, we could not secure seats, the views were worth the trouble! One can easily feel that he or she is in another world.

After clicking a lot photos, we got down in Solan where we relished strolling and eating at the local market.

Located in an air force area, Manki Point was our place to visit for the next day. The Hanuman temple has too many stairs so I ditched walking up although others went all the way up! Nevertheless, I had a great time enjoying a piping hot aloo paratha at the military canteen where Maggi was also great. We went back to Rudra Café to have some breakfast before leaving the hill station. The Mexican omelette and the Irish coffee were amazing!

On our way back, we stopped at Chandigarh and enjoyed a movie. Later, it was a halt at our favourite Sukhdev Dhaba in Murthal where we gorged on some dinner. We reached home at one in the night.

The end of my first road trip left me all excited and craving for more!

Kasauli – A Complete Travel Guide

Resurrecting the charm of everything old school and Victorian, is this nature-lovers paradise in Himachal Pradesh , Kasauli.

Kasauli is the kind of place you’d want to run to the laps of, for some peace of mind and fresh air. Whether you’re backpacking alone or with a bunch of close friends, the hill station will make you want to stay longer.

Staying at colonial-era cottages with colourful roofs above your head and the cosiness of the lush greens for your feet.

Getting out of your comfort zone and exploring through pine forests with trails following the scent of exotic herbs.

Watching every building and architectural magnificence speak of the hill station’s glorious past.

Wrapping up days sitting by the crystal clear lake and watching the sunset down in Kasauli.

With all this and much more, here’s everything that you need to know about this beautiful valley .

Table of Contents

En route Shimla from Chandigarh, you’d spot this hilly cantonment town that’d surely make you stop and stare for a while. Spread across almost 12 sq. km in area, the quaint place is best explored on foot or a bike.

Located in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, the hill station comes around the lower edges of the Himalayas and is relatively the most pleasant place of all.

How to reach?

The nearest airport to Kasauli is the Shimla airport which is 55 km south of the hill station. The Jubbarhatti airport has frequent flights, but they are often subject to the fluctuating weather around Shimla.

Which makes the Chandigarh airport a usually preferred option. Located about 60 km from the town of Kasauli, there are regular domestic flights flying down here. Connecting major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Amritsar, Chennai, Srinagar, and Kolkata.

Both the airports have well-facilitated public transport services as well. From pre-paid taxi services to buses at nominal prices.

40 km from Kasauli is the railway station of Kalka. From the cities of Amritsar, Delhi, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Mumbai and so on, there are trains that go to the station of Kalka.

You can avail of the bus and cab services from here that’d directly take you to the valley.

The cities of Chandigarh, Delhi, Shimla, and Ambala have several buses and taxis making runs to the hill station.

There are several connecting buses as well through which you can make another bid after a brief halt. This will be convenient for those who prefer not to go on a long and tiring journey.

Roads are at a considerably good condition and follow a picturesque route that’d make you feel a lot more relaxed and comfortable through the journey. There’s a range of options in terms of the transport buses, and among these the Superfast and Super Deluxe options are the most opted ones.

For those driving to Kasauli, there’s a proper network of roads connecting from Delhi, NH1, Ambala to NH22. Passing through beautiful valleys of Zirakpur, Panchkula, Pinjore, and the roads that were part of the former Hindustan–Tibet Road.

Best time to visit

Kasauli attracts visitors throughout the year. However, the best time to visit Kasauli is between the months of April to June, as the weather is very pleasant. The town has become a haven for tourists looking for a respite from the scorching heat of the plains. The weather is moderately hot so light cotton clothes will do. The temperature rarely exceeds 32°C. The monsoon season, which lasts from July to October, is also a good time to visit. The rains make the place look even more scenic and green. It is better to pack a jacket or two, as the weather can get a bit chilly during October. As there are occasional showers, an umbrella is recommended.

Top Things to do

1. watch the sunrise at monkey point (manki point).

Distance – 3.4 km

Opening hours – 7 AM to 7 PM.

An unparalleled vantage point and the highest point of Kasauli. The place is believed to have been blessed by Lord Hanuman and so carries a really mystical aura to it. This you’ll witness for yourself when you hike up to watch the beautiful sunset colour the skies in its different shades.

The trail’s going to make you sweat and test the adventurer in you. So buckle up with your supplies for this moderately difficult hike. But it’s also simply astonishing with the view of the sparkly Satluj river from atop the hill.

There’s also a range of sights studded en route to the peak. From the Airforce station exhibiting their best arms and ammunition, a Hanuman temple perched auspiciously, monkeys camping right outside for the little treats tossed their way and a balcony-like view of chestnut and oak forests.

2. Bird spotting at Gilbert Trail

Distance – 2.1 km

Opening hours – 6 AM to 5 PM

Tucked in the army cantonment region of Kasauli, the Gilbert hill is among the few undisturbed and picturesque spots left here.

It’s a short trail leading up to the peak amidst clouds of mist. This is also why it’s exciting to spot birds flying through the clouds and camouflaging their colours within the forest.

The 1.5 km stone walkway begins from a lane that’s believed to be dedicated to lovers and traces its way through emerald foliages. What makes this paradise a more peaceful retreat is that not many tourists have Gilbert trails fall under their list of places to visit in Kasauli.

So if you’re someone who enjoys some tranquil time watching the nature at its best form, then the trail is where you’d want to go to.

3. Spooky trails of Dagshai

Distance – 22 km

Opening hours – 10 am – 12.30 pm, 2:30 pm – 5:00 pm (Jail and Museum timings)

Here’s a trip through the haunted narratives of Kasauli. Stylised from “Daag-e-Shahi” which translates to “a royal stain”, Dagshai was formerly a prison-like settlement arranged by the Mughals. While now it is converted into an army cantonment homing few locals, the stories and graves here bring spooky stories down to your platter.

It is not visited by many tourists, but travelling down here should definitely fall under an adventure seeker’s list. Wildly spread forests would accompany you at most times with its canopy.

Walking down to the Dagshai Central Jail and the graveyard that has a history dating back to the British colonial period. Few of these spots have been transformed into a museum and the vibes you’d get from here would surely send chills down your spine.

4. Exploring science through the Central research institute

Distance – 300 m

Opening hours – 9 AM – 6 PM (Monday to Friday)

One of the unusual yet enlightening spots of Kasauli. While the research centre cannot be visited from inside and is restricted to a tour around certain areas, it is imbued with a perfect blend of information and entertainment.

Managed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the Institute that was laid down by the Britishers is now training the future minds of the country.

It is also one of the important centres conducting diligent research and development activities on vaccines and virology in collaboration with the World Health Organisation. Keeping the country’s name on high ranks since almost forever.

A guide through the history and science of the 75 years long institution is definitely a must-visit while you’re here.

5. Celebrate Kasauli with the year-round festivals

Distance – NA

Opening hours – NA

Kasauli is high in a festive mood throughout the year and they take the phrase “Life of the Party” quite literally.

Every month it’s a new fair or festival that adds colour to the entire valley. And regardless of you being a tourist or visitor, the festivities welcome everyone like their own.

From the Lohri festival celebrated during the harvest season to the Basant Panchami of the spring season, and everything in between. Kite flying in the cloudy days, buffalo fights with constant cheering, bonfires being lit, traditional thali cooked above the wood, people dancing around joyously, and so much more!

These are the times the community comes together and celebrate the health, wealth and prosperity that God had gifted to them. It holds immense religious and cultural importance.

6. Seek blessings at the oldest church of Himachal Pradesh

Distance – 90 m

Opening hours – 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM (every day), Sunday service is held at 9:30 AM

If you want a walk back to the colonial time impressions, this is definitely where you’d want to go. Dedicated to St. Francis and St. Barnabas, you can see the colonial homage that has been left behind in all its glory.

Built-in a very classy style, the church with pastel shades will definitely gravitate you. Enhanced by Gothic architecture and distinctive features of a cruciform floor, clock tower, sundial, and so much more, this place looks heavenly.

Watching the sunlight reflected through the stained glasses, creating beautiful patterns right across the aisle. It’s an image that’d stay with you. And would make you want to revisit this beautiful place over and over again.

7. Unfurl history at the Gurkha fort

Distance – 41 km

Opening hours – 9 am – 6 pm

Trekking through serene villages to the fort that’s at an elevation of nearly 4500 feet above sea level, is an adventure in itself. Added along with this is the structure that has eternally stood to tell the stories of the Gurkha wars that was fought decades back.

Majestically standing at the uphills of the Parwanoo region, there are sights both within and outside the fort that’d leave you awestruck. Whether or not you’re a history buff, each fresco here whispers narratives that would drive you to know more.

The canons that date as back as 180 years old, till the eucalyptus trees that tower over the structure as a protective natural Frontier. There’s so much to be educated upon as well as explore here.

8. Photograph the nature at Sunset Point

Distance – 1.6 km

Opening hours – 8 am – 7 pm

This place is all the magic that you need. Situated not farther from the main town, the Sunset point is one of the best ways to bring your day to an end.

Sitting on the swing that’s casually perched on top of the hilly terrain, and watching the sunset down with every moment being counted. It’s the most breathtaking sight you would wish to turn into a ritual.

Exactly why photographing the moment is something that you’d treasure in the years to come. And if you’re lucky enough, you’d be able to spot some really beautiful sights including the view of a microscopic Chandigarh.

A lot of people come here to enjoy the calmness and solace. Most of the time that comes from simply watching the city’s shadowy evenings grow brighter with the nightlights.

9. Take a swig of the finest in Kasauli brewery

Distance – 4.2 km

Opening hours – 7 am – 7 pm

What’s a chilling day in Kasauli without some freshly brewed local daaru? Take a trip down to the Kasauli Brewery and sip onto their best-crafted drinks.

Established in the 1800s by Edward Dyer, it’s among the oldest distilleries in Asia itself. So not only do you get to chill here but it also probably is an honour to make a visit down here.

Enjoy a glass of scotch whiskey brewed to perfection while hearing about its beautiful history narrated through every sip of it. Unwind yourself and loosen up after a day filled with adventurous exploring of the valley.

10. Shop crazy at the Mall road

Distance – 120 m

Opening hours – 8 am – 8:30 pm

Keeping the best and obvious guilty pleasure of every traveller for the last – The mall road experience. Among the few things that’d leave a vivid memory from Kasauli, is the nooks and corners of the Mall road.

With shops selling everything from antiquities to handicrafts and warm cups of soup to a traditional bowl of momos.

Ideal for the shopaholics, it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that this is where the soul of the town lies. Wide smiles and welcoming gestures of the people selling the most beautiful things crafted exclusively at Kasauli.

The place has got everything that’d keep you hooked for hours. Make sure to grab a lip-smacking plate of street food while you’re exploring this beautiful marketplace.

• The trekking trails are moderately difficult, and carrying a good pair of shoes and essentials can always come handy.
• Certain places such as the Manki point fall under the Air Force Station and wouldn’t permit you to carry certain electronic gadgets. Keep this in mind and secure your items beforehand.
• The cantonment areas also often require prior permission to visit, and it’s an easy procedure.
• At all times carry water with you. It’d be a task to look for water refilling spots and shops around some areas of Kasauli.
• If you’re making a visit during public holidays, there could be a slight change in opening hours and entry fees, so make sure you have it all checked before you make a visit.

How to spend 72 hours in Kasauli – 3 Day Itinerary for Kasauli

• February 7, 2024

The year 2020 was a bust. No doubt there. The traveling plans that we had were just shelved. Now with the vaccinations getting distributed and the cases at the lower side, traveling again is very exciting. Obviously the precautions are still necessary. We started year 2021 in Kasauli, part of my favorite state, Himachal Pradesh . Kasauli is not to be confused with Kasol.

Kasol is further up in the mountains, adding 4-5 hours in your journey from Delhi. Kasauli is comparatively closed and we decided on this destination because I wanted my pet dog, Goofy, to accompany me. However, at the end moment we decided to not take him due to some issues. I have shared by 3-day itinerary for Kasauli here:

How to reach Kasauli

Kasauli is not your totally offbeat destination which you need to figure out the route to. It is pretty straight forward after crossing Chandigarh. In fact, there is very little part of road where you would drive through mountainous terrain. Just the last 30-45 minutes are where you’d be driving along the mountain curves. So Kasauli is perfect for families or travelers with pets.

Where to stay in Kasauli

My personal opinion is to stay in homestays. Also, I generally prefer to stay a little away from the hustle bustle of the main city. Every hill station has a mall road these days. So a hotel located on mall road may not let you get indulged in the mountain vibe. We stayed at Nature’s Stay hotel, but not in their regular rooms. Our pick was Owl’s Nest, which is a homestay operated by this hotel, within the same premises. Our experience was pretty mediocre and I wouldn’t recommend this stay. Frankly, we considered this only because they allowed pets. Otherwise, there are plenty other options. But still if you want to know about this property, you can read my tripadvisor review about the same.

3 Day Itinerary for  Kasauli

Kasauli is best covered in 3 days. You can start early morning from Delhi and by 11-12 PM can be in Kasauli, including the stops. We took a bit more time due to the ongoing border issues because of the farm bill related riots.

Itinerary Snapshot

Day 1: Reach Kasauli, Check in, sunset at Cafe Mitti

Day 2: Visit Sunrise point, Narinder Sweets, Cafe Rudra at Mall road, Sunset at Gilbert trail / Manki point

Day 3: Check out, cable car ride & lunch at Timber Trails

Here is the itinerary in detail.

Day 1: Check in, Visit Cafe Mitti

Reach Kasauli from Delhi or Chandigarh. Once you have checked in your homestay, just relax and wait for the Sunset time. Head out to Cafe Mitti around 3-4 pm and get a good table to see the gorgeous sunset while munching on their delectable food. The Sunset views from Cafe Mitti just can’t be missed.

My recommendations here would be their hand beaten coffee, wood fired oven pizza (try cafe mitti special) and cheese garlic bread. Day 1 better be chill as day 2 is going to be more about exploring Kasauli. You can sit back and relax while enjoying the mountain air at Cafe Mitti.

Day 2: Visit Sunrise Point, Narinder Sweets, Cafe Rudra, Gilbert Trail/Manki Point

Don’t worry, it seems like a lot to do in one day. But the last three attractions are close by. You can try and find a sunrise point to admire the beautiful Sun in it’s glory to begin your day. Then head to Narunder Sweets to savor their famous Bun Samosa. I think it will be an understatement to say that it’s world famous in North Delhi. After enjoying the Bun Samosa, chill at Cafe Rudra till it gets milder in the evening. Then head on to do a hike at Gilbert Trail / Manki Point. It’s not much of a hike frankly, there’s a well constructed road on which you need to walk. But it is still worth it as cars are not allowed, making it a peaceful nature walk.

Day 3: Leave Kasauli, Enjoy Cable car ride to have lunch at Timber Trail Resort

On your way back from Kasauli, you may cross Parwanoo. This hamlet tucked in the lower ranges of himalaya, is home to Timber Trail resort. Via Cable car, you can reach the Moksha Resort which hosts a restaurant & bar. The view from the restaurant is jaw dropping and you can really enjoy the Sun creating various shades of orange in the sky.

Now, you know how to spend 72 hours in Kausali. You might have gathered other useful information from this post. However, what if you are travelling from Delhi? One of the 9 most recommended destinations around Delhi is Kausali. In addition to knowing the Delhi to Kausali Distance, you can learn more about the routes here:

Exploring the Scenic Route: Delhi to Kasauli Distance and Journey

Embarking on a journey from the bustling streets of Delhi to the serene hill station of Kasauli offers travellers a refreshing escape from the chaos of city life. Situated in the state of Himachal Pradesh, Kasauli is a tranquil retreat nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan ranges, renowned for its lush greenery, colonial charm, and breathtaking vistas. For those seeking a picturesque getaway, the Delhi to Kausali distance may seem daunting, but the journey is dotted with scenic vistas and memorable experiences.

Distance and Route

Kausali distance from Delhi is approximately 290 kilometres, and there are multiple routes to reach this enchanting hill station. One of the most commonly taken routes is via Chandigarh, which offers well-maintained roads and stunning views along the way. From Delhi, travellers can take the NH44 or NH152 to reach Chandigarh and then continue on the NH5 towards Kasauli. The journey takes approximately 6-7 hours by road, depending on traffic conditions and the chosen route.

Scenic Landscapes

Pit Stops and Refreshments

Along the Delhi-Kasauli route, travellers will encounter several towns and cities offering opportunities for pit stops and refreshments. Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab and Haryana, serves as a major midway point where travellers can take a break, refuel their vehicles, and indulge in local cuisine at roadside eateries and restaurants. Additionally, en route to Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh, there are numerous dhabas (roadside eateries) serving delectable Punjabi and Himachali delicacies, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
