OVERVIEW
Lansdowne is a charming hill station that still retains its colonial character. Nestled in the Himalayas, it offers an unspoiled expanse of lush greenery with oak and pine forests, as well as colonial-era buildings. The town is a popular destination for birdwatchers, casual hikers, and weekend travelers.
Located at an altitude of 1,700 meters, Lansdowne inspires the hiker within you. Its strategic location also makes it a starting point for various treks into the surrounding hills, ranging from short hikes lasting a few hours to more challenging climbs that span 2–3 days.
