Kasauli - Part 1
Kasauli is a cantonment and town, located in Solan district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The cantonment was established by the British Raj in 1842 as a Colonial hill station, 77 kilometres (48 mi) from Shimla, 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Chandigarh and lies at a height of 1,800 metres (5,900 ft). Kasauli - This small hill station seems to live in time warp that belongs to the 19th century. The narrow roads of Kasauli (1951m), Himachal Pradesh, India, slither up and down the hillside and offer some magnificent vistas. A mixed forest of pine, oak and huge horse-chestnut encircles the town. Its colonial ambience is reinforced by stretch of cobbled road, quaint shops, gabled houses with charming facades and scores of neat little gardens and orchards
