Overview

Trail Overview

Lansdowne is the cantonment town that time forgot. No mall road, no traffic — just oak and pine forests, a colonial church, and silence. This is for people who want to do absolutely nothing in the most beautiful setting possible.

Why this journey exists

I found Lansdowne by accident — I was driving to Pauri and took a wrong turn. The town was so quiet I thought it was abandoned. Then I found the church, the forest, and a guesthouse run by an 80-year-old retired colonel who told me stories over rum. I went back three times before making it a trip.
