Having been to most of the hill stations in the north and east, I was not the least bit excited about yet another trip to the hills! You don't take a beach person to the hills every year! It's just not fair. After the first 3 hill stations they all just look the same. But to my surprise there was something very unique about this hill station...Kasauli. A small cantonment town almost always covered in fog, and the only noise you might hear here is your own voice echoing. Had we not come there to escape the work/city madness, the peace and quiet would've soon got extremely boring. But after months of slogging at work, when you come to a place where modern civilization is at a safe distance (read no network...no internet) and the cool breeze frees your mind of the stress and baggage you carried on the holiday, it's rather refreshing and you can't help but want to stay back a little while longer.
A walk in the woods alone would make you realise why hill stations have so much fodder for all those spooky eerie stories they are known for. The place we stayed in, Ross Common (HPTDC) too had the raw material for a perfect horror story- an isolated lodge in the woods with just an old chowkidar and a cook hosting a group of friends from a nearby city, topped with the blinding fog, eerie silence, dense forest, wild nocturnal animals and not another soul around for miles; despite all this the place suprisingly gave a very peaceful non-scary vibe.
If you are looking for a short weekend trip from Delhi to the hills to rejuvenate yourself- Kasauli is the place for you.
