Sunrise Point
Morning Vista::Sunrise Point, formerly known as Hawa Ghar due to the steady breeze, is located on the Lower Mall Road. It is one of Kasauli's most enchanting viewpoints, specifically designed to offer a spectacular and uninterrupted view of the sunrise over the distant hills. As the sun rises, it ba thes the surrounding valley and the Shivalik hills in a golden-orange glow, illuminating the plains of Chandigarh in the distance. The atmosphere is quiet and serene, perfect for an early morning walk and reflection. It is easily accessible and a highly recommended spot to start your day in the hills.
