Kasauli cool
retreat in India
Get Peace of
mind far from city life
This small hill
station seems to live in time warp that belongs to the 19th
century. The narrow roads of Kasauli (1951m) slither up and down the
hillside and offer some magnificent vistas. Directly below is the
spread of vast plains of
Punjab and Haryana which as darkness falls, unroll a gorgeous carpet of
twinkling lights. At 3647 m, the
peak of Choor
Chandni also called the Choordhar powerfully dominates the lower
hills and across the undulating ranges, Shimla is visible.
The upper and
lower malls run through Kasauli's length and one can enjoy longs
walks. A mixed forest of pine, oak and huge horse-chestnut
encircles the town. Its colonial ambience is reinforced by stretch
of cobbled road, quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades
and scores of neat little gardens and orchards.
CLIMATE:
In winter, the
temperature gets quite low and heavy woolens are required.
In summer, the
climate is mild light woolens/cottons are recommended.
