Hotel Review of KK Trams & Resorts
Comments: A much needed vacation brought me to the verdant lushness of Himachal Pradesh via Kesari Tours. Though the tour operators tried a whirlwind attempt of whooshing us through various hotels in Simla, Kulu, Manali and finally Kasauli, it was the K.K.Trams Resort, a hotel-with-a- ropeway-free sort of structure that took my heart away. After the sight-seeing squeezed days this shady respite was


The hills are magic in monsoon. The rooms are well furnished and command magnificent view of the valley below. From your rooms the hills hide themselves under a veil of fog and the pine trees appear and disappear – a sigh escapes you unless you are reading

The hotel ropeway moved us a total distance of 1200 metres and lifted us to a total height of 300 metres from Jabli to Kasauli in twenty minutes. The cable-car ride was a novelty device to get to-and-fro the hotel and I never got tired of it while slipping away to explore the colorful shrubs full of flowers.

Best Experience: Looking for a bit of solitude, I decided to try the trekking route up to Kasauli advertised in their brochure. I would urge all the young at heart to give it a try. It feels beautiful walking through the thick pine forest and is the best way of getting red cheeks, loud breathing, slow steps, and a glow of victory on your face while coming down! And yes, this is the only way to get to Kasauli without their regular down-the-tram and up-the-hills 22 kilometer drive. Also up for grabs are Table Tennis & Pool Tables, and lots of rides for the kids (I was alone, but could watch the kiddies loving a toy train which is really good).

Also, the coffee tables are set near a stream, and its really great to lounge around here – which was only possible occasionally due to intermittent showers. However, the food is great, and I wolfed it up (a bit without manners, I must say, but excusable considering my strenuous morning excursions).

I cherished the coolness and calmness of the whole place. This seems to be a place where old acquaintances can meet and greet each other, and a tourist place to return year after year with your family.

The hotel staff arranged Bon-Fire and music on demand, and though there were lots of tiny winged creatures buzzing about in the night, we were able to have a lot of fun in the well-lit surroundings. But do ensure that they always stock insect repellents in your room.

Worst Experience: The staff seems to be made up of cardboard personalities and you never get passionate answers, unless you count mumbling as a passion. Refrain from asking the waiters questions about that trek I recommended to you above – they quote distances so lightly that the other side of the Himalayas seems a few footsteps away. However - I was glad to notice - they do anything that is requested promptly and inconspicuously. Also, their handling of large groups like ours seems very slow – for example my luggage took a really long time to get delivered to my room. Otherwise the overall experience was really good.

Hotel Review of KK Trams & Resorts
If i can summarise in a graph, it went upwards touching the sky in terms of room rate, but it went deep down in the earth in terms of services. Pathetic services, despite paying the best of prices for the room. Resort well built, but has been badly maintained. Only ray of goodness in the resort, was the taste of the food. Really nice food, which compensated to some extent, the poor service and atmosphere in the resort....

Hotel Review of KK Trams & Resorts
We had decided to go to kasauli on a very short notice. It was friday evening and we planned to go next early morning from delhi. I picked up the india resorts survey guide that i got as a gift from this website. It turned out to be pretty useful at that time. I just dialled the phone numbers of the various resorts to check out the availablity of rooms. It being a weekend that too in summer vacations, i...

Hotel Review of KK Trams & Resorts
When i looked at the pictures of K K Trams and Heights resort on the net, it did not look very promising, however considering the availability, cost and distance from Delhi, i though of taking a Netculated risk. (Risk based on information from internet). To be honest, if i have to summarize my review in one line it would be, since my expectations were not much, i wasn't disappointed much. To begin with, the base resort K K Trams looked like...
