Hi Keshav,

Lansdowne is a very small place in itself. So most likely once you reach your hotel you can walk around the nearby places (depending on which hotels you book). For some of the sights, I think best would be to book a cab for a day which can take you to all places (Tarkeshwar temple and all).

Rest best would be to just chill and relax. There are not too many places to visit within Lansdowne.

Thanks,

Amit

@Priyanka: Thanks.
@Yamini: September might not be the best of times to travel to Lansdowne because of rains. However if your trip spans over a week or something, you can definitely go. If you are planning a short trip, better wait for the rains to go off. Fairydale is good. But Jungle Resort is best. However, do contact them beforehand and book as a lot of people seem to visit Lansdowne now!!

@Kirty: I am late to respond. May be you’ve made the trip. I must mention it is decently cool at 1700 mtrs! However you must avoid the rainy weather!

@Ankit: I am looking for some myself. Will definitely share if I come across. I’ve hard of some, but unless I try myself, can’t recommend.

Hey Amit!
Thank you for this detailed review.
I am planning a trip in the third week of june and your reviews really made me go for it. But what I am concerned is at 1700 mtrs, I won’t get a cool holiday.

Need some suggestions……it seems you are the right person to be the Ambassador of Lansdowne!

Hey Kapur, No security issues. In fact there’s Lansdowne is an Army Base. You can travel in a small car. The road is good (however from Kotdwar to Lansdowne is a typical hilly drive with narrow roads, so be prepared.) And yes don’t forget to get your tank full at Kotdwar!!! Wish you a happy trip!
