Surrounded by the Garhwal Himalayas that protect this place from the enemy troops, Lansdowne had been in the limelight right since the hill station was established in 1887 by Lord Lansdowne himself. This hill station has fun and frolic amidst the seriousness of the training of the army. One such fun, that is, the family picnic on any occasion, has become the constant companion for the local people of Lansdowne and the enchanting places like the Tiffin Top and the Snow View Point have gained immense popularity both among the local people and the tourists.

Lansdowne is such a gorgeous place that its splendour could never be kept a secret right since its establishment. The tireless strivings in the day to day life in the cities have been erased completely whenever a person had spent some time in introspection sitting atop the Snow View Point. This natural laughter born out of the mystic nature and this deep sense of peace and respite born out of the scenic beauty draws tourists here every year. Thus, the Tiffin Top and the Snow View Point are a must visit for all.
