4- and 5-star hotels in Lansdowne
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels in Lansdowne, from hillside resorts with pools to quiet village homestays. It is for travellers weighing up a hill retreat in Uttarakhand and deciding between a central base and a stay out in the pine.
Staying in Lansdowne
Lansdowne is a small hill town in Uttarakhand known for its colonial history, the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre, and a serene setting of pine forests and Himalayan views. Days here are about nature walks, trekking to points such as Snow View, birdwatching, and exploring colonial heritage like St. Mary's Church and Tip Top Point.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in different pockets of the area: some close to the central market, others along the Jaiharikhal and Mandoli roads, and several out in villages such as Deriyakhal, Silwar, Farsula Umari Khal and Palkot. The spread suits couples after a quiet break, families who want gardens and playgrounds, and anyone happy to trade a central location for space and views.
