Just amble along the chestnut and oak lined trees, from the depths of which you would get an occasional peak of the snow-clad Himalayan range. Kasauli is quiet, no doubt. But even this tranquility changes to a clatter once in a year, when the Lawrence School hosts its Founder's Day celebrations. But for most part of the year, Kasauli is serene. If you're the active-type, and a couple of days' quietness is enough for you, don your best sports shoe and head out to the hills. Hike up the wooded trails and stroll through the Upper Mall and Lower Mall. Feast at the traditional Himachali food or watch shepherds walk their flock through the greens. And for the rest part, just enjoy it as the British left it.
