Built in 1853 by the British on Mall Road, the Christ Church is the oldest Church in whole of Himachal Pradesh. A non-Gothic architectural delight, the building is simple but rich in its own way. Surrounded by deodar and pine trees, the church is such an incredible place to visit. There is so much of peace and calmness prevailing here that one should spend quality time for a rejuvenation of sorts.

This is an exquisite little place located just 17 km from Kasauli. The town is straight out of those beautiful Ruskin Bond books that we have grown up reading.
