Located on the road from Chandigarh to Shimla in the Solan district, Kasauli is a hilly cantonment town that makes for an ideal peaceful holiday location, especially for a weekend getaway. Mainly known for its accessibility from Chandigarh and Delhi (located just 65 km away from Chandigarh), Kasauli is not about particular attractions or activities but the beautiful villas and the serene environment.

Kasauli is a cantonment town dotted with lavish Victorian buildings built by the Britishers who resided here years back. The quaint village has nature trails and beautiful viewpoints. Popular attractions here include Christ Church, Central Research Institute, Monkey Temple, and Sunset Point. It is also a pilgrimage place as Lord Hanuman is believed to have rested here during his search for medicines for Lord Lakshaman. The birthplace of Ruskin Bond, Kasauli is visited by writers looking for inspiration. 

Since Kasauli is located in the southwestern part of Himachal and is on the relatively lower edges of the Himalayas, it is famous for hiking trails. It is nestled amidst beautiful woody forests of pines (Chir Pine), herbs (Milk Thistle) and cedar trees.
