At an altitude of 1700mts above sea level and offering panoramic views of snow-capped peaks and is surrounded by thick oak and pine forests. Lansdowne is devoid of the hustle and bustle of other bigger hill stations

Quick Tips:

you can take overnight train- mussourie express, from the old delhi station, get off at kothdwar which is at the foothills and then take a 45km (2 hour long) bus/taxi to lansdowne... contact GMVN(garhwal mandal vikas nigam) for further details and bookings once you are in delhi.

Best Way To Get Around:

it is 300kms from delhi by road, once you get there, the best way to get around is walking, but if you want to explore the hills around you and arent in the mood to trek- hire a jeep.
