Kaul is relatively well-developed and often thought of as a town. The infrastructure is well-developed, including a nearby power station.

An old fort survives in a now-uninhabited part of the village and ascetics and saints stay there. Folklore has it that the wheel of Karna's chariot got stuck at that spot during his final fight with Arjuna in Mahabharat. Historically, Kaul was a major center of learning. A famous Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya joined the ashram of Kapil Muni, one of the most learned and revered Hindu sages of ancient India.

The village has a Surya Kund (a sacred tank dedicated to the Sun God) just like several other villages of the Suryavanshi Ror people.
