Lansdowne - Tip N Top

Lansdowne is one of the quietest and most unspoiled hill stations in India, maintained by the Garhwal Rifles regiment. Exploring Lansdowne feels like walking through a calm, disciplined, and beautiful colonial painting. The main attraction here is the 'Tip N Top' (or Tiffin Top) viewpoint.

Located on a ridge near St. Mary's Church, it is the highest point in Lansdowne. It offers sweeping views of the Shivalik range and the snowy Garhwal Himalayas. The view is unobstructed and breathtaking.

There are small huts built by the GMVN for staying, which are highly recommended for the experience of waking up to the sunrise. The silence here is absolute.

Lansdowne forbids heavy commercialization, so there are no noisy malls or traffic jams. It is clean and green with oak and pine forests. Walking towards Tip N Top in the evening is a romantic experience.

It is the perfect place to do 'nothing'—just sit, watch the mountains, and breathe the clean air.

A true retreat for the soul.
