Lansdowne
Lansdowne originally known
as, Kaludanda, after Kalun (Black) and Danda
(Hill) in local language, Lansdowne was founded
and named after then Viceroy of India, Lord
Lansdowne in 1887. Lansdowne was developed by
the British for catering for the Recruits
Training center of the Garhwal Rifles. Lansdowne
was a major place of the activities of freedom
fighters from British Garhwal during British
period. Nowadays, the famous Garhwal Rifles of
the Indian Army has its command office here.
Lansdowne has few attractions to boast of, and one of these is 'Tip-in-Top Point'. About four kilometres uphill from the main town market, you shall also pass Lansdowne's two churches - St Joseph and St. Mary's - on your way to this point. A pretty building, St. Mary's Church was built in the earlier half of the nineteenth century. There is a nice view of the surrounding hills from near this Church too. 600 metres from here is Tip-in-Top Point, and the govt. tourist guest house is built right next to it, where you can enjoy a meal and tea. The views from Tip-in-Top point are expansive, and if you go early in the morning, the mountains are covered in a sea of clouds.
Tarakeshwar Mahadev temple:
Tarkeshwar Mahadev Temple is a siddh peeth , dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is 38kms from Lansdowne. The place is 1&1/2 hours from Lansdowne. It is situated in a half moon shaped valley, filled with deodars ( no deodars in surrounding areas except in this valley) & rhodendrons enroute. You will not believe it till you see it. A very quiet & serene place.. associated with many legends. Just sit n relax, hear the music of the wind passing through the tall trees and see the birds chirping happily. You will be greeted by the sight of blooming rhodendrons, if you go in the blooming season.

Bhim Pakora:
Bhim Pakora is located in Dhura, about 2 km away from the Gandhi Chowk. It is believed that during the period of exile, the Pandavas stopped here and cooked food at this location.
