Kasauli Tour Package 2 Days & 1 Nights

Day 1: Chandigarh to Kasauli, Mall Road, Christ Church and Sunset Point

Your driver meets you in Chandigarh in the morning and heads out on NH5 towards Parwanoo, then up the hill road to Kasauli. It is a climb of about 65 km that most cars do in two to two and a half hours, and it is a pretty one once you cross Parwanoo. If you leave early, you can break the drive at the Timber Trail ropeway in Parwanoo, a cable-car ride across the valley that takes 20 minutes each way. Check in at your Kasauli hotel and drop your bags.

Spend the afternoon on foot. The upper Mall Road in Kasauli is closed to traffic, so it is a quiet stroll past colonial-era buildings, small Tibetan stalls and pine. At one end sits Christ Church, an Anglican church built in 1853 with neo-Gothic stone work and stained glass, one of the oldest structures in town. From there it is a short walk to Sunset Point, also called Lover's Lane, a level path under deodar trees where the light drops behind the Shivalik ridgeline. Get there by about 4 pm to hold a good spot. Evening is at leisure back near the Mall.

Day 2: Sunrise Point, Gilbert Trail, Monkey Point and Kasauli Brewery

Start early. Sunrise Point, known locally as Hawa Ghar, looks east towards the Choor Chandni peak and, on a clear winter morning, a long line of the Shivaliks. After breakfast at the hotel, walk the Gilbert Nature Trail, a flat 1.5 km path that begins near the Central Research Institute and is the town's best short birding and forest walk. Keep an eye out for the Himalayan bird species the trail is named for.

Then drive up to Monkey Point, or Manki Point, the highest spot in Kasauli at the far end of the Air Force station. There is a small Hanuman temple at the top and the view runs across the plains towards Chandigarh. One practical thing to know: the point sits inside a defence area, so carry a government photo ID, and phones and cameras have to be left at the gate. Foreign nationals are generally not allowed up. On the way back you can look in at the Kasauli Brewery, one of the oldest working distilleries in the country, and stop at Dharampur and Sabathu, a small cantonment with a Gurkha fort from the early 1800s that most weekend itineraries skip. Do your last bit of Mall Road shopping, check out, and drive back down to Chandigarh.

How to reach Kasauli and distances

Kasauli sits in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, on the Shivalik range just above the Punjab-Haryana plains. Chandigarh is the natural gateway for a two-day trip.

By road from Chandigarh

About 65 km, two to two and a half hours. The route runs on NH5 to Parwanoo, then up the hill road through Dharampur to Kasauli. This is the drive the package is built around, and it is the reason a one-night trip works here.

By train

Kalka is the nearest railway station, about 25 km below Kasauli and roughly an hour's climb by road. Kalka is well connected to Delhi and Chandigarh, and it is also where the Kalka-Shimla toy train begins. From Kalka your pickup brings you up to Kasauli.

By air, and from Delhi

The nearest airport is Chandigarh (IXC), about 65 km away. If you prefer to start from Delhi, that is roughly 290 km and a six to seven hour drive, which we can arrange as an optional pickup. For a dedicated Delhi-origin plan, our Kasauli tour from Delhi package is the better fit.

Inclusions and exclusions

What is included, and what the package costs

The price starts at Rs 9,000 per person on twin sharing, down from Rs 9,890, and it covers the one-night stay, breakfast, all listed sightseeing, and pick-up and drop from Chandigarh airport or Kalka railway station. Lunch, dinner and any entry tickets are on you, which keeps the base price honest and easy to compare. Every part of the plan is customisable. Add a night, swap the hotel, start from Delhi instead of Chandigarh, or change which viewpoints you prioritise, and the quote updates to match. You are not booking a fixed coach tour. You are booking a private, agent-arranged trip that you shape before you pay.
