2-Night, 3-Day in Himachal Pradesh – A Complete Tour to Kasauli
Overview
The hills of Solan district in Himachal Pradesh are home to one of the most elegant and charming hill stations that you will ever visit. Developed by the British as a cantonment town, Kasauli is close enough to the national capital that you can plan a weekend tour to this hill station. The small vacation will give you more than any other big hill station can. Full of towering pine and oak trees, colonial cottages and shops, and picturesque roads that set the pace. The stunning views that you get from the ridges will definitely leave a long-lasting impression, leaving you mesmerized.
The Kasauli tour starts when your driver picks you up from the Delhi railway station or airport, and after a ride you will reach Kasauli by the afternoon or evening, which gives you enough time to settle down and get ready for a walk down the winding roads or a little browsing through the local markets. Wake up on the second day feeling refreshed and get ready for sightseeing. You will visit Monkey Point with its hilltop Hanuman Temple, the Lover’s Point, Sunset Point, Gurkha Fort, the Lower and Upper Mall, and the Christ Church. After a fulfilling sleep, your ride back to Delhi will start after breakfast. The trip suits couples, families and anyone who wants an easy weekend in the hills without early starts or long sightseeing days. You stay two nights in a 3-star hotel on double occupancy with breakfast every morning, and travel by private vehicle from Delhi and back.

The arrival time depends on the traffic and your pickup time.
Can you visit Monkey Point?
Since Monkey Point is situated within a restricted Air Force area, a lot of people think that visiting it is difficult. However, you can visit Monkey Point, but make sure that you carry your ID and adhere to all the rules regarding phones and cameras.
