Lansdowne
Bhullatal Lake is a serene, forest-fringed artificial lake in the heart of Lansdowne cantonment, reflecting the surrounding oak and rhododendron trees in its glassy surface. Boating on its calm waters in the crisp mountain air, surrounded by birdsong and the scent of pine, is one of the most quintessentially peaceful activities this quiet Garhwal hill station offers. The lake is part of the Garhwal Rifles regimental grounds and its surroundings are immaculately maintained.
The lake is most photogenic in autumn (October–November) when rhododendron and oak trees surrounding it begin to turn golden. Combined with Tip N Top walk, this makes for a perfect half-day outing.
