Lansdowne - A Hidden Gem in the Hills!

When it comes to weekend getaways from Delhi, people often think of hill stations like Shimla, Mussoorie, Kufri, Kullu and Manali. However, not many have explored one of the quietest hill stations in India - Lansdowne, located in the Pauri-Garhwal region of Uttarakhand.
