we were travelling from Ludhiana and it is 169 km far from Ludhiana, so we hired a Tempo Traveler from Ludhiana and the route was via Chandigarh. it took around 4 hours to reach Kasauli from Ludhiana including breaks for breakfast & all.

Things we explored to Kasauli

1. Timber Trail

2. Moksha Resort

3.Baptist Church

4. Monkey point

5. Mall Road Kasauli

6. Dugshai Graveyard

1. Timber Trail

The view from the heights of the Timber Trail is breathtaking in every aspect. This place is popular for its rope way rides, which are a thrilling experience. Sliding through the mountain ways while surrounded by the incredible natural beauty is a refreshing experience. The deep gorges right below the rope way will give you an incredible adrenaline rush without even moving your feet!

2. Moksha Resort

After a thrilling cable car ride, we reached to the other side of the Tibre Trail which leads you towards Moksha Resort, it offers you a stunning view of the hills along with some small games for entertainment & yummy culinary.

3. Baptist Church

This church was built in the year 1923 by the Britishers, the architecture of this Church is influenced by a blend of Indian and Victorian styles. Now a days this Church location is in trend for pre wedding shoots as well.

4. Monkey Point

Monkey point is basically a Hanuman temple on hill top, which is said to be the spot where His (Lord Hanuman's) feet touched while he was on his way to fetch Sanjeevani booti for Lord Lakshman when he was injured during the battle of Lanka. Top has a huge footprint of Lord Hanuman.

Its located inside an air force station, so the area is quite strict and secure, due to which no electronic devices are permitted inside. Yep.. can't take any photos of the breathtaking view .. ALAS !!.. well that's what made the experience bit more charming.

You climb up the flight of stairs running uphill and thereafter reach the top. The time to top will easily be 20-25 minutes on average. Do take proper stops and relax while going up.

You will be greeted by 10s and 100s of monkeys. All busy in their different activities. Beware, they might want to play/attack you as well :)

The top has a great view of all the adjoining hills and a beautiful peaceful atmosphere to sit and relax.

The entry closes 4.15 PM so better reach before hand.

5. Mall Road Kasauli

Mall Road is the busiest region in kasauli town that offers numerous shopping options. All the activity in Kasauli is centered on the upper and lower Mall roads. The main market of Kasauli is also located on the Mall road. we had a stroll on the road while enjoyed some yummy momos & Chai. From Mall road we started for the most Horrible part of the trip, i still get goosebumps when i recall it, we were heading to Dagshai Gravyard, i had never been to a Graveyard before. so, for me it was going to be something unimaginable.

6. Dagshai Graveyard

Word “Dagshai” is drived from ‘DAAG-E- SHAI’ meaning a royal mark which was branded on the forehead of 'anti socials' who were arrested and sent here.It is built by the British as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, it has a British era graveyard overlooking a valley.

At 5689 feet above the sea level, Dagshai's superior cold breeze not only infuses one’s lungs with opulent oxygen but also natter of its rich historic presence.It transports the visitor to a life where time has stopped.

while we reached there at around 6:30 pm, Doors of this graveyard closes around 7 pm in the evening after that security guards leave this place hence no one is allowed to enter post 7 pm. well it was only half & hour left for the doors to be closed and we reached around 6:30 pm, we had to request the guards to let us in... But still, i was parallelly praying tha Gaurd's deny so that i could escape that place as i was totally numb from the moment we started for graveyard. but equally i wanted to go inside as well ;) so there was this fear & courage dominating each other frequently, but finally courage won & we were inside the graveyard. its a multistory graveyard.

remembering this place still gives me goosebumps as i was holding my fellow colleague's hand whole time and asking her to not leave my hand, i did not let her leave my hand not even for a second until we moved out of that place. Whole time i was constantly chanting in my mind. Aaahhhh how kiddishhh i was to face this experience in my life, May be because it was the very first time i saw a graveyard. But that feeling still goes alive when i remember this place or see the pics it was a lifetime experience for me.

Thanks for Stopping by...
