About Kasauli for 2026 — Quiet Colonial Charm

Kasauli is the anti-Shimla — a tiny cantonment town 4 hours from Delhi, low on tourists and high on pine forests. There is essentially one main road and a handful of walking trails; that is exactly the point. Our shortlist favours colonial-era properties on Upper Mall and forest resorts on the outskirts.

Why choose this destination

  • One of the shortest hill drives from Delhi (~4.5 hrs).
  • Cantonment ensures the town stays clean and low-traffic.
  • Walking trails: Gilbert Trail, Sunset Point, Monkey Point.
  • Colonial architecture — Christ Church (1853) still holds Sunday services.
  • Great weekend combo with Chail (30 km) or Solan (18 km).

Local travel tips

  • Tip 1. Kasauli is a cantonment — no loud music, honking or drinking in public places.
  • Tip 2. Mall Road is car-free after 6 pm — walk everywhere.
  • Tip 3. Book Piccadily or Baikunth well ahead for long weekends; town has limited rooms.
