Away from the usual tourist traffic and
crowded markets, this quaint and offbeat
little hill-station in the Pauri Garhwal region
is a legacy of the British, particularly the
viceroy Lord Lansdowne, after whom it
takes its name. With lush green
surroundings, dense pine and oak forests
and refreshingly clean air, Lansdowne is
best suited for those looking for peace and
tranquility. The area comes under Indian
Army's Garhwal Rifles, due to which its
infrastructure is well-maintained and make
Lansdowne's roads highly accessible.
Commercial activity is restricted, which
helps to keep its unspoiled, untouched
charm intact. The popular Snow-View Point
offers a stunning view of some of the
Himalayan peaks like Chaukhamba. Take
slow, quiet walks around town or go for a
more rigorous trek in the steep tracks
around Lansdowne to completely soak in its
spectacular beauty.

Also known to be one of the quietest hill
stations in India. It exists in, around and
because of the cantonment — the
command office of the Garhwal Rifles
Battalion of the Indian Army is located here.
The Cantonment Board is in charge of the
administration, saving Lansdowne from
unchecked development. Back in the Raj, it
was a popular hill station. Formerly
Kalundanda, it was named after Sir Henry
Petty-Fitzmaurice, Marquis of Lansdowne
and Viceroy of India from 1888-1894.
Winding roads are still lined with colonial
bungalows. The town gets many migratory
birds due to its proximity to the Sonanadi
Division of Corbett NP.

Church that has been partially turned into a
reading room, for there are few of the
Protestant faith left in Lansdowne. Many
Protestants coverted to Catholics after the
British left India post Independance. They
now attend mass at the neighbouring St
John’s Church. Still, St Mary’s is worth a visit
for its beautiful stained glass windows. Every
