I had my concerns as it was our first trip in North India with kids. But it turned out to be a fantastic trip.

The hotel in which we stayed was in the roadside but our rooms were in 3 floors below the roads and so there was no noise, only serenity. It was weird to go down to the room; Whenever we had to go dinning, Rani kept saying lets go up to eat. She never got around the idea of having rooms below the reception. But in a hilly region, like Kasauli, this seems normal.

We visited some shops, in lower mall road, on the first day to purchase woollen clothing for all of us. This is the first time we bought something for all of us in a single shopping session.

Next day we visited Monkey Point, highest point in Kasauli. It is believed that Hanuman put his left foot here when searching for Sanjeevani herb to help Laxman in Lanka war. We didn’t climb to the top of the hill since I felt we couldn’t have climbed with Jerry in hand.

After lunch we went to Christ church, an ancient church in Kasauli (founded in 1853). It was a quite and a nice place.

Finally, on the way to Kalka station, we visited Pinjore Gardens, which is believed to have been founded by Pandavas. It is a Mughal garden, as like the President’s Garden in Delhi. But I found Pinjore garden much more beautiful than the president’s garden. Kids played and enjoyed.

Piyo enjoyed the train trip both ways. He didn’t sleep on the onward journey, though he slept in the return.

In all I all, it was a fantastic time. Photos will one soon
