Arriving in Kasauli

Driving up to Kasauli
The last part of this route runs on mountain roads, so the 160 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 4 hrs 45 min in normal traffic. Start early in the morning to reach before dark and to avoid weekend traffic near the hill entry points. Carry a warm layer even in summer. With more than four people or heavy luggage, an SUV like the Maruti Ertiga or Innova Crysta is more comfortable on the climbs.
Which car should you choose?
For up to 4 passengers, the Maruti Dzire at ₹2,600 is the most economical choice. Families of 5 or 6 usually take the Maruti Ertiga (₹3,400), while the Innova Crysta (₹4,500) gives the smoothest ride over 160 km. For extra comfort, the Innova Hycross costs ₹5,500.
