Pali Highway

By taking a small detour through the densely-forested Nuuanu Valley, there is a chance to visit a series of places of interest - Queen Emma's Summer Palace, the Punchbowl National Cemetery and the Royal Mausoleum.

Its beautiful scenery and its pleasant and cool climate combine to make Nuuanu Valley a popular place to live. Honolulu's finest villas are to be found here.

The Royal Mausoleum is a neo-Gothic style state monument containing the tombs of Hawaii's Kamehameha II and Kalakaua royalty including six of the eight Kings who ruled Hawaii in the 19th C.

Indian in design, Soto Zen Buddhist Temple is noted for its altar.
