Kasauli
is one of the small towns developed by the British
during the 'hey day' of the empire, and reached
by a branch road from the Kalka-Shimla road. The
quite beautiful hill-station of Kasauli has a
Pastur Institute that produces the anti-rabies
vaccine against mad dog-bite and, at the same
time, treats victims who have fallen prey to the
dead disease, Hydrophobia. The institute in Kasauli
set up in 1900, is the oldest in India, taking
care of pet, police and army dogs as well as their
masters.
77-km from Shimla and 35-km from Kalka, at 1,927m,
Kasauli is a quaint little town that seems to
exist in a time wrap of an era that reminds one
of the 19th century. |

Its
colonial ambience is reinforced by cobbled paths,
quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades
and scores of neat little gardens and orchards.
Mixed forests of chir-pine, Himalayan oak and
huge horse chestnuts surround Kasauli. Its narrow
road slither up and down the hillsides and offer
some magnificent vistas.
Monkey Point : The highest point
in Kasauli called Monkey point is just 4-km from
the Kasauli bus stand. The Monkey Point commands
an excellent view of the distant plains of Chandigarh
region and the river Satluj, tracing a silvery
trail through the scene. A small temple is also
situated on the top of the hill, which is dedicated
to Lord Hanuman. According to a legend, at the
end of Ramayana when Lord Hanuman was returning
from the Himalayas after obtaining Sanjivany Booty
or the Magical Herb, his foot touched the hill
and thus the top of hill is in a foot shape. On
a clear and starry night the gorgeous view of
Chandigarh can be seen from the Monkey Point.
Sanawar : Just 6-km from Kasauli, Sanawar
houses one of the best schools in the country.
The Lawrence school is almost one hundred-years-old
and a major attraction of the town.
The Christ Church : Still unspoiled
and very much as the British left it fifty years
ago, Kasauli has a fine old church. The Christ
Church, is a typically Anglican structure of the
period and its foundation stone laid in 1844. |
