A point of satisfaction for the Devotees of MA. Must go there. Drive from Baddi side is better. On the way when you are about to the exrpessway towards shimla , you will cross Chandimata Original Mandir. In one trip 2 priceless visits. You can reach out to me for any further directions or help plan your trip. Wish you a spiritual satisfaction in the trip.

Reviewed By Pathfinder1A - Dharamsala, India
Getting there- walking from main town about 20mins. Car upto a point then 5 mins walk.
Do carry ID - you may be stopped by Army check post, this being an Army campus.
The sunset point has a good view, swings/slides for kids, benches & toilets.
The sunset sadly isn't spectacular because of the smog hanging over the plains.
The presence of swings/slides & unruly tourists takes away the serenity & calmness of the place.
Going further up the road for a peaceful sunset is recommended.
A tuck shop is available close by for refreshments.

It is currently managed by the diocese of Amritsar. The Christ Church is the prime building in the centre of the heritage area of Kasauli town and as one enters the main town, this is the first building which comes to view. This church was previously an Anglican church and was founded in the year 1844,

Beautiful views.
You take the cable car up to the top where you'll find the hotel. A restuarant and a cafe.
The food at both were alright.
There is also a play area with swings, see-saw and monkey bars.
Though you can only stay up there for 2 hours (unless you are residing in the hotel).
