About Kasauli Mall Road
The Mall is the heart of Kasauli, split into the Upper Mall and the Lower Mall. The Lower Mall is the busier market street, with old bakeries, sweet shops, cafés and small stores, while the Upper Mall is quieter, leafier and runs past cottages and the Kasauli Club.
Vehicle movement on both is restricted, so the Mall is best explored on foot. There are no big modern buildings here, just low shopfronts, tin roofs and colonial-era cottages, which is why so many visitors say Kasauli feels unchanged. It is also the easiest starting point for Christ Church and the walk towards Sunset Point.
