Monkey Point Hanuman Temple

Monkey Point, also known as Manki Point, is the highest point in Kasauli at an elevation of approximately 1,950 meters. It features a small Hanuman temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, associated with the Ramayana legend where Hanuman rested while carrying the Sanjeevani herb. The site offers panoramic views of the Chandigarh plains, Sutlej River, and surrounding Himalayan peaks. Located within the Indian Air Force Station, it requires valid ID for entry.

Visitors can expect a steep climb of approximately 350-500 steps uphill from the Air Force Station entrance to reach the temple at the summit. The site provides 360-degree panoramic views of the Shivalik Hills, Sutlej River valley, and distant snow-capped peaks including Choor Chandni. The temple is small and simple, surrounded by pine forests. Monkeys are commonly present in the area. Due to military restrictions, electronic devices including mobile phones and cameras are not permitted inside the premises.
