We figured monsoons would be over by sep-end, so planned a trip to kasali in the last weekend of september. Kasauli is a small, quiet hill station about 350 kms from Delhi. Shimla is another 60-70 kms further on the same route. We figured shimla is too commercialized and Kasauli would be more relaxing, and the shorter drive is preferred with kids.
It took us about 7 hours to get there, with a couple of stops in between. For food stops, Haveli is highly recommended (there's one is murthal, and another in karnal - the one in karnal is quite happening with shops and all).
In kasauli, we stayed at the Kasauli Resort, and had a good overall experience there. The view from the rooms was great, which is very important in such a stay. Also, they had a nice campus with swings for kids. Pretty decent restaurant, but we didn't like the food too much. There are three floors, but no lift which can be a problem for some. Also, it would be nice to have heating in rooms, which was not there. It does get pretty cold at night.
There's not much to do in kasauli, just a visit to Manki Point and the local mall road shopping area. Go there to enjoy the nature and the views, which there is plenty of.
