77 kms. from Shimla and 35 kms. from Kalka, at 1927 metres is Kasauli, a quaint little town that reminds one of the 19th century. Its colonial ambience is reinforced by cobbled paths, quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades and neat little gardens and orchards. Kasauli is surrounded by a mixed forest of chir-pine, Himalyan oak and huge horse-chestnuts. Its narrow roads lither up and down the hillsides and offer some magnificent vistas. You can get vantage views from Monkey Point, 4 kms. from the bus stand.
