Legend has it that Kasauli came into being when Lord [Hanuman], on his way to getting the [Sanjeevani] herb, stepped here for jumping on to the Sanjeevani hill. At Kasauli there is a Hanuman [Mandir] atop the 300 m high hillock, called Monkey Point(locals call it Manki Point), where Lord Hanuman is supposed to have rested his feet. This temple lies within the confines of an air force radar station and base and is subject to security restrictions(no cameras or bags allowed). On a clear day, one can get views of nearby cities like Chandigarh. One can reach this point by road or on foot. On foot, it takes nearly two hours from Kasauli town but the scenery and harmony you enjoy makes the walk worth the effort.
