'''Kasauli''' is a small town in the foothills of the Himalayas. It was attached to the Ambala District during the British period and, together with [[Dagshai]] and [[Subathu]], was one of a number of hill depots created by the British army in the mid-19th century for the families and some of the troops to escape to in the hot weather which was so unhealthy in the plains.
