Born of Legend and nurtured by history would describe Kasauli pretty well. This quaint town is said to have come into existence when Lord Hanuman placed his feet on a hill here during his quest for the Sanjeevani Herb. During the colonial era it was developed into a British cantonment town. Its colonial ambience is reinforced by cobbled paths, quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades and scores of neat little gardens and orchards. The famous Lawrence school at Sanawar and Christ Church are fine examples of colonial architecture.
The forests surrounding Kasauli are of chir-pine, Himalayan oak and huge horse chestnuts. Magnificent vistas with view of Chandigarh plains and the River Sutlej are open to those visiting Monkey Point, Sunset Point and Gilbert Trail.
