About Sunset Point
Sunset Point is a viewpoint on the edge of Kasauli, reached by a shaded walk through pine forest along Lover's Lane. It looks out over layer after layer of foothills, and on clear days you can see far across towards the plains.
As the name suggests, it is at its best in the evening, when the sun drops behind the ridges and the hills turn gold and then blue. The walk is part of the appeal: it is quiet, green and away from the traffic of the Mall. The area falls within the cantonment, so you will pass Army areas along the way.
