Kasauli
- A 19th Century hill station (5889 feet) in Himachal
Pradesh India, Located 77 km from Shimla, 65 km
from Chandigarh and 50 km from Panchkula, it still
retains the old world charms and is a throwback
to the past. It was the summer capital of the British
Army, post India's independence. At a height of
1951 mtrs. Kasauli overlooks the cities of Chandigarh,
Ropar, Panchkula, Ludhiana and a few others, depending
on which side of Kasauli are you in.
The
main Kasauli is divided into portions, Upper Mall
& Lower Mall areas. These are ideal for long walks.
A lot of people just go up to Kasauli from nearby
cities, as Chandigarh, for this long walk and fresh
Pine & Oak Wood brushed air, which is quite medicinal
in nature, specially for people with respiratory
problems. This is one of the reason, why the TB
Sanatorium was built by the British, here in Kasauli.
TheCentral Research Institute, as its today know
as was earlier The Pateur Institute which was founded
in 1900 by Sir David Semple. Here the first anti-rabies
vaccination was produced. The Institute also treats
those suffering from bites, as an everyday feature.
Kasauli still has most of the colonial type cottages,
which the British built, to create an English type
surrounding. We have been able to convince a few
of these Cottage owners to rent it to us, for our
guests. Ruskin Bond - the popular author of children's
literature, Andy Mulligan - Irish rugby star, were
both born in Kasauli. Famous author Khushwant Singh
comes to write and relax in his ancestral home in
Kasauli. Rahul Bose an actor & rugby player from
Mumbai comes to holiday to his house in Kasauli.
This Villa has a long view of the valley,
hills & four cities.
