Experiences in Kasauli

Description :

Winding along the edge of the hill, the Gilbert Trail is one of Kasauli’s best-kept secrets. It begins just past the Air Force Station and offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding valleys. As you walk, the forest closes in gently—cedar, chir pine, wildflowers—and the soundscape narrows to birds, wind, and your own footsteps. Easy to access and under 2 km end to end, it’s a favourite for slow travellers and birders alike. Go early for the softest light.

Monkey Point sits within an Air Force Station, so access is limited—but worth the effort. A short uphill walk leads to the peak, where you’ll find a small temple, a scattering of langurs, and a panoramic view that stretches all the way to Chandigarh on clear days. Sunsets here are dramatic—glowing clouds, a chill in the air, and the hush of elevation. If you like your views wide and your moments unhurried, this one’s for you.

Established in the 1820s, the Kasauli Brewery is more than a distillery—it’s a piece of colonial history that still hums with activity. Step inside to see age-stained barrels, copper vats, and wooden beams that have stood for over a century. Guided tours explain how whiskey is made, with tastings sometimes offered on site. It’s not polished or overly commercial, which is part of its charm. A great stop for history buffs, curious sippers, and anyone craving a little heritage with their hill holiday.

The Heritage Market isn’t flashy, but that’s exactly why it stands out. Wooden shutters, hand-lettered signs, and slow-walking locals give it a lived-in, unhurried charm. Stop at the general store for apricot jam, pick up hand-knit sweaters, or just people-watch from a tea stall. You’ll find little nods to the past tucked between everyday errands. Best explored on foot and without a plan, this ramble is more about soaking up atmosphere than ticking off sights.

Set at the junction of Mall Road, Christ Church is one of the oldest standing churches in Himachal Pradesh. The Gothic architecture, worn stone walls, and coloured glass interiors offer a serene pause from the bustle outside. Surrounded by deodars and framed against the hills, it’s also one of the most photogenic spots in town. Open during the day and especially lovely in the early morning light, it’s a must-visit whether you’re religious or simply reflective.

Perched higher than Kasauli and much less visited, Dagshai offers a different kind of stillness. Once a British military settlement, it’s home to colonial homes, winding lanes, and the Dagshai Central Jail—now a museum chronicling its layered past. You’ll find fewer crowds, open skies, and a strong sense of time slowed down. Great for half-day visits, especially if you enjoy heritage trails and understated history. Pack a thermos, bring a book—it’s that kind of place.
