The serene hill station of Kasauli is synonymous with peace and tranquillity. It will help you rid your mind of its clutter and body of its lassitude. Built in the 19th century by the Britishers , Kasauli is located just 77 kms from Shimla and has been able to maintain its old world charm. This picturesque hill-station, is resplendent with tall Deodar, wild flowers, rhododendrons, wild roses, flame of the forest, and flowering Kichnar in summer and is a popular hub for bird-watchers. Legend has it that Kasauli came into being when Lord Hanuman, on his way to getting the Sanjeevani herb, stepped here for jumping on to the Sanjeevani hill. Since then, Kasauli has remained one of the most wannabe destinations of the tourists.
