a cantonment town in Pauri Garhwal district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand
founded and named after the then Viceroy of India, Lord Lansdowne. It is one of
the quietest hill stations of India and is popular Pangot Britishers came to India. Lansdowne is unlike other hill
stations as it is well connected with motorable roads but remote in its own
way.

with thick oak and blue pine forests in the Pauri Garhwal district of
Uttarakhand state, Lansdowne is an ideal location for eco-tourism as it is well
preserved by the government and the Garhwal Rifles. It is the nearest hill

Back to travelogue:
This was my
first experience of the hills, I got an invitation to attend my school friend
Nitender Rawat’s marriage. He is a Garhwali and lives in Delhi. His wife is
from the famous hill station Pauri, Garhwal, Uttaranchal. Hence, We ought to
visit the hill station. His marriage date was 31st May, 2010. I had Maruti
Suzuki Nainital Tour Package
that time and was in a doubt if the vehicle is
going to make top of the hill. But we didn’t have any other opetion. On 30th
May,2010, five friends, Rakesh Ahalawat, Rohit Bisht, Harsh Kumar Chauhan,
Pranay Prashar and Parvinder Mehra (me) left in the evening around 5 pm to
attend the marriage that too on a hill station.
