The cantonment was established by the British colonial rulers as a hill station in 1842. Located 77 km from Shimla, 65 km from Chandigarh and 50 km from Panchkula, Kasauli still retains the old world charms and is a throwback to the past.

Kasauli has many outdoor trails where one can experience the natural serenity. The trails are safe and easy. The main trail to Monkey Point leads through Air Force Guard Station at the end of Lower Mall and one is required to register here first.

The most happening place in Kasauli is the junction of Upper and Lower Malls both of which are markets with shops selling daily commodities and souvenirs for tourists. Kasauli is easy to reach by road from New Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla and other major cities in Northern India.

There are various trekking routes to Kasauli as well, from Kalka, from Jabli and from Garkhal. Trek from Jabli to Kasauli is approximately 9 kilometers.
