Kasauli is one of the small towns in various hill stations developed by the British during the peak of the empire in India. Kasauli is a cantonment and town, established by the British in 1842, and is located 77 km from Shimla and 54 km from Chandigarh. It is a charming hill station with lots of old world charms of the 19th century. Its colonial ambiance is reinforced by stretches of cobbled roads, quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades and many neat little gardens and orchards. The narrow roads of Kasauli slither up and down the hillside and offer some magnificent sights. The upper and lower malls run through Kasauli's length and one can enjoy long walks in the anonymity of the sleepy town. A mixed forest of pine, oak and huge horse-chestnut encircles the town.
Monkey Point is a major tourist attraction in Kasauli, apart from its shopping malls. Monkey Point is a hill which derives its name from Rishi Man-ki who used to worship an idol of Lord Hanuman, and later the summit was crowned with a small temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman.
Colonial architecture is represented by Christ and Baptist churches in the town. There is also the Central Research Institute that makes vaccines. This Institute was established in 1906 by Dr. Sample.
