What makes it even more appealing is that Kasauli can be explored comfortably on a modest budget. With affordable stays, simple local food, and walkable attractions, a romantic escape here does not demand extravagant spending.

This thoughtfully planned five-day itinerary is designed for couples who want to experience the essence of the destination at a relaxed pace while keeping expenses under control.
