Google-ing for adventure activities to do in Lansdowne? You are in luck, we’ve got some really cool options. Truth be told, it’s not long but it is just perfect. Take a look.

1. Pitch your own tent

Close your eyes and think about sitting somewhere alone - or with your good friends, at night - it’s dark and the moon is glowing, visible partially in between tall deodar and pine trees. Now open your eyes and tell us with hands on your heart, don’t you want to do this at least once (if not more) in your life? For those saying ‘NO’ in their head, it’s time you start living.

For those saying yes, do you know the most difficult part in making it happen? Safety. There’s wild animals you need to protect yourself from - and then there’s people. If you can manage all that, Lansdowne would be a perfect place to live this experience. You can pitch your tent at Tip n Top point for the most surreal, goosebump-filled experience. Darr bhi lagega, mazaa bhi aayega!

Disclaimer: Lansdowne is a cantonment area, you might have to take some permissions from them. Check in a day or two before your plan to solve it out with ease.

2. Test your patience with some rare clicks

Remember the almost end scene from Secret Life of Walter Mitty where Walter waits with Sean (the photographer) who is waiting for a snow leopard. But when they actually spot one on the camera and yet, Sean doesn’t take the picture and instead says “They call the snow leopard the ghost cat. It never lets itself be seen. Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.”

Ever felt that same desire to find something that beautiful? To be a part of a moment just like that? Your stay at Lansdowne can help you make it happen. Camping at the highest point in Lansdowne can provide you multiple such opportunities. You can capture those moments if you want.
