Garhwal Rifles War Memorial and Regimental Museum

Lansdowne

Lansdowne is home to the historic Garhwal Rifles regiment — one of the most decorated infantry regiments in the Indian Army — and the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Museum is a fascinating and moving repository of military history, medals, weapons, photographs, and war diaries dating back to the 1800s. The immaculately maintained regimental campus with its colonial-era buildings and manicured lawns is a quiet place of considerable historical dignity and provides real insight into the region's military heritage.
