2 Days in Kasauli for Nature Lovers
Kasauli is a quiet hill station with lush forests, winding trails, and stunning views of the Himalayas. I love coming here to escape the city noise and breathe in the fresh mountain air. The pace is slow, the people are friendly, and the scenery is just beautiful. Whether you're walking through pine-scented woods or sipping chai with a view, Kasauli has a way of making you feel at peace.

A relaxed introduction to Kasauli's colonial charm, scenic trails, and stunning viewpoints, with plenty of time to soak in the mountain air.
Activities
Sunrise at Monkey Point
Start your day early with a short hike to Monkey Point, the highest spot in Kasauli. The trail is gentle, and the panoramic views of the Himalayas at sunrise are breathtaking. Don’t forget to look for the small Hanuman temple at the top—it’s a quiet, spiritual spot.
- Wear sturdy shoes—the path can be slippery in places.
- Carry water and a light jacket; mornings can be chilly.
Stroll on Mall Road
After breakfast, take a leisurely walk down Mall Road, the heart of Kasauli. Lined with colonial-era buildings, cozy cafés, and small shops selling local handicrafts, it’s perfect for people-watching and picking up souvenirs. Stop by the iconic Christ Church for a quick look inside—its stained-glass windows are lovely.
- Try the hot ginger lemon honey tea from a street vendor—it’s a local favorite.
- Visit early to avoid crowds, especially on weekends.
Gilbert Trail Walk
In the late afternoon, head to Gilbert Trail for a peaceful walk amidst pine forests and rhododendron trees. The trail is easy and offers stunning views of the valley below. Keep an eye out for colorful birds—this area is a haven for birdwatchers.
- The trail closes by 6 PM, so don’t start too late.

Christ Church & Heritage Walk
Start your day at the iconic Christ Church, built in 1853, with its beautiful stained glass and colonial-era architecture. The surrounding area is perfect for a quiet heritage walk, with old British-era bungalows and cobbled pathways. The church’s peaceful ambiance makes it a great spot for some quiet reflection.

Sunset at Sunset Point
Head to Sunset Point in the late afternoon for panoramic views of the Shivalik ranges. Unlike Monkey Point, this spot is quieter and offers a more relaxed vibe. The short walk through pine trees to reach the viewpoint is just as enjoyable as the sunset itself.
