Retreat Anand is a jungle
resort located just 3 KMs outside of the Lansdowne town. It is
perfect getaway for peaceful stay in the midst of dense
pine forests. It is accessible, yet remote. We make sure that
your stay with us is a comfortable and memorable one. It is truly an
“Agyaat Vaas” for you and your family.
Retreat Anand is situated in the deep pines, spread over an area of
4 lakh Square feet, connected by a 2 KM long jungle road to the main
market (Sadar bazaar) of Lansdowne. You get a panoramic view of the
Himalayan ranges from the resort.
Lansdowne is a charming little hill
station in Pauri region of Uttaranchal. It was originally a popular
hill station with the Britishers. Attracted by its climate and
natural beauty, they established a cantonment here. It was founded
by Lord Lansdowne in 1887 A.D., thus the place has been named after
him. The famous Garhwal Rifles of the Indian Army also has its
command office here.
Lansdowne is situated at an altitude of 1,706 m en route
Kotdwar-Pauri road, 37 km from Kotdwar. Surrounded by thick oak and
blue pine forests, it is a very beautiful place for a quiet holiday
as it is devoid of the usual hustle and bustle of other Indian hill
stations.
The forests of Lansdowne are lovely, just ideal for those long walks
and picnics. There are amazing mountain views of the Western
Himalayas from a number of vantage points like Snow View and Tiffin
Top. The nature treks range from simple hiking trails of a few hours
or one day’s duration, to tougher climbs lasting a couple of days.
Lansdowne is a perfect destination for nature lovers and bird
watchers.
Lansdowne has its fair share of temples and shrines, most of them
devoted to the various forms of the Mother Goddess, most notably
Tarkeshwar Mahadev (30 km) with its special Shivlinga. This temple
is one of the oldest Sidhpeeths in India.
