Lansdowne
Tip N Top (also called Tiffin Top) is Lansdowne's most beloved viewpoint — a high ridge above the cantonment town that offers spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayan foothills, the Kotdwar plains below, and on clear winter mornings, glimpses of distant snowcapped peaks including the Kedarnath range. The walk up through Lansdowne's dense oak and rhododendron forest to reach the viewpoint is in itself one of the most peaceful forest strolls in Uttarakhand.
The viewpoint is at its most beautiful and atmospheric in the early morning before the mist clears. Combine the walk with a visit to the adjacent Bhullatal Lake for a complete Lansdowne morning.
