Tucked away in the pine-scented embrace of Himachal’s Shivalik range, Kasauli is a colonial-era hill station that’s quietly magical. With its winding tree-lined paths, age-old churches, and British-style architecture, this little town feels like a nostalgic postcard from the past. Whether you visit in the golden autumn sun or during the misty monsoon, Kasauli is a year-round destination that never fails to soothe the soul.
Just six hours from Delhi and less than two hour’s drive from Chandigarh, it’s an ideal weekend escape from city life. At 1,800 meters above sea level, the air here is crisp, the skies are clearer, and the rhythm of life slows down—just the way a mountain retreat should be.
While the town offers a wide range of hotels and resorts, the true essence of Kasauli lies in its lesser-known, homely stays nestled along quiet, pine-laden roads. And among these is a true hidden gem—Bunker In The Hills.
Bunker In The Hills: Where Kasauli Feels Like Home

Far from the noisy crowds and traffic of the town center, this charming homestay is located on a peaceful stretch, surrounded by oak and pine forests. Morning walks here are a delight—the sound of chirping birds, rustling leaves, and the occasional barking deer echo through the trees.
