weekend getaway to Kasauli. Surrounded by the fragrance of a thousand blossoms,
almost everything about this sleepy little hamlet of Himachal Pradesh impresses

Tuorist places in Kasu

The
highest point in Kasauli called Monkey point is just 4-km from the Kasauli bus
stand. The Monkey Point commands an excellent view of the distant plains of
Chandigarh region and the river Satluj, tracing a silvery trail through the
scene. A small temple is also situated on the top of the hill, which is
dedicated to Lord Hanuman. According to a legend, at the end of Ramayana when
Lord Hanuman was returning from the Himalayas after obtaining Sanjivany Booty

foot shape. On a clear and starry night the gorgeous view of Chandigarh can be
seen from the Monkey Point.
