Sanjauli is located in the north-western ranges of the Himalayas, at an average altitude of 2,398 metres above mean sea level. As the main suburb of the city, the area comprises Cemetery Road, HB Colony, Chalaunthi, Bhatta Kuffar, Sanjay Van, Dhingu Dhar, Shanan, Navbhar, and areas on the other side of the Sanjauli-Dhali tunnel built at the time when Shimla was the summer capital of British India. An area of unique architecture, there is a wide and long market area from Sanjauli Chowk to the tunnel. Sanjauli is situated below the Jakhu Hill and since 2008 there has been a bypass to Dhalli, which diverts from the main road near Government College and passes through Chalaunthi. Sanjauli is situated at a distance of 8 kilometers from the main Shimla town, but it also accessible by another path which comes through the Lakkar Bazaar bus stand. Additionally, it is reachable on foot from Mall Road through Indira Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, which takes 35–40 minutes on a leisurely walk. It is one of the highly populated areas of Shimla, since it extends over a large distance. Much like other hill towns, it is also situated atop a slope of a hill, which extends right from the temple at the top to the Dhalli bypass road at the bottom.
