Delhi to Kasauli – A family trip
With the unforgiving summers in Delhi plan a trip to the hills. Kasauli is the best place because it works out to be a perfect road trip with your family and does not fall in the usual list of hill stations. Plan a trip in such a way that it takes you 4 days and in between halt for 2 days at Chandigarh so that you can unwind yourself and do not face the trouble of a tiresome journey.
The distance from Delhi to Kasuali roughly takes around 6 to 8 hours, which is dependent on the traffic and the prevailing road conditions. The route to cover this destination is easy as one has to take NH1 or the Great Trunk Road from Delhi to Ambala and then divert to NH22 for Ambala. The roads are fairly in good condition for the entire duration of the trip. It is suggested that you take a break on your trip for a day each while coming and going at Chandigarh.

By noon you will reach Murthal which is a famous place for the food joints known as dhabas. To chill out it is better you pay a visit to one of the famous joints known as Gulshan Dhaba. The parathas were too big embedded with butter and the taste of lassi is still savouring in your mouth.
