Kasauli is a beautiful place and not much of crowd ,fresh air.this is a military cantonment town just 10 kms off Simla highway.
One has to take a pass of Rs 100 to enter the cantonment area near the manki point.
Nice view

This famous Lord Hanuman Temple sit’s atop the highest peak in Kasauli with breathtaking views of Chandigarh and Shimla. The hill and the temple is in an area managed by IAF hence entry stops at 4:00 PM. Lunch hours are 1:00 PM to 1:45 PM.
Passes are issued after verification of government approved ID. Photography, phones and electronic devices are not allowed and must be deposited before you being the climb to the temple. Beware of monkeys and keep a water bottle with you. It is a steep climb but definitely worth the effort to seek blessings of Lord Hanuman.
Also the place is Man Ki (place that fulfils one’s wish) and not Monkey Point.
It is believed that Lord Hanuman rested his left foot on this hilltop and the right foot in Jhaku Temple Shimla while carrying Sanjvini Booti during the Ramayana War.

It was an incredible experience. One has to climb stairs upto half a kilometre. Manki Point is the highest peak in Kasauli. This point provides a complete view of the plains of the Chandigarh region and the river Sutlej flowing through the valleys. According to mythology, Hanumanji had put his foot here while carrying the Sanjeevani Booti to save Laxman ji.
The place is managed by the Army. No phones, cameras and any other electronic gadgets allowed. Such items have to be deposited at the entry.

Manki point is worth visiting for a famous Hanuman Temple. It is believed that while carrying the Sanjivini, Lord Hanuman rested here by keeping one of his feet on the hill here and another feet at the Jakhu Hill in Shimla.
The temple is located on a steep hill under the control of Indian Air Force. It is well maintained.
Before going to the temple, check the timings. It opens at 09:30 am. Before that air force personnel will not allow the entry. Camera and mobile phones are NOT allowed.
Very peaceful and a must place to visit.

You must visit the Sanjeevni Hanuman ji Temple if you are herevin Kasauli. It takes only 1 hour for the whole trip from the gate of Air force station. On your way you can see the Sunset point. its just 1 km before Air force station gate.

Awesome place and the Hanuman Ji Temple . Breathtaking views . At the top of the mountain . Maintained well by Air force . Restricted entry . Belongings and cell phone etc not allowed after the Forces Gate . Take very small bag if required . You can keep the things in locker at the entry gate. Climb the stairs slowly and you can easily reach the temple. Must visit if you are in Kasauli.

Must visit Monkey point Bajrangbali Mandir at Airforce cantonment area Kasauli. Lots of monkeys are seen while visiting the Mandir. Kindly don't bring back prasad while coming back from Mandir as Monkeys will not spare you. They will search your all pockets like Security Guard.

This temple is on the hill top from where you can have a good view of the hills. Long walk from the gate of the Air Force Station where you are required to park your vehicle. The temple is nothing much to write about. You must visit this place for the view and nothing else.
Another thing striking about this place is the cleanliness, thanks to the Air Force guys.
I read some people's reviews whining about frisking by the AF Police. Guys just remember, this a defence establishment and they are doing their job as per the rules by the government. So stop whining and comply with the rules or just keep away. Learn to respect the army, guys. Let me tell you Kasauli is what it is just because of the Army. Otherwise the land sharks would have turned it into a 'concrete jungle' by now.

This place lies inside the Airforce campus and to reach on top of this point you have to walk 2.5 to 3 Km and on top you find the temple of Lord Hanuman with terrific view.

After end point how many stairs and how much time approx
Written 4 June 2018
approx 500-600 , its straight climbing . you will get few resting point in between but not sufficient as many people climbs up simultaneously . Not recommended with kids and old age parents . Also beware with Monkeys as they are very notorious and follow you for long time if you have some food stuff .

How far is this place from Mall Road? How to reach this place? Any Auto/Rickshaw available?
Written 11 February 2016
No auto/rikshaw allowed in aany hill station. There are predefined charges for local taxi by union. Or you need to hire your own personal taxi.
This point isbit far from mall road but cannot walk. Because after a restricted entry you need to walk and staircases to the point. It will take 2 hours.
Also the temple entry will close at 4:30pm
Written 13 February 2016
