Share “Explore the unexplored peace with undisturbed, serene with valleys, forest” I had a wonderful time with my family at Nest Cottages. That was the best decision to take a break from stressful life and hustle bustle of city and away from commercialised hills which are the only options we think of when we think of hills. If you are someone who love serenity, who love hills and jungles and who just don;t want so much crowd but just undisturbed peace in hills then Pangot is a best hill station to explore. This place is still untouched and has its own charm, and Nest Cottages just added the comfort to that charm. They are beautiful cottages with huge balconies to sit and gaze at nature and feel the cool breeze and hear the chirps of birds. Its a real experience with nature. Cottages are well maintained, services are excellent, food is just what you can ask for. Its like a homestay, where every staff makes you feel at home and the food is just like home but the only differ...

Share Lansdowne is a calm gorgeous hill station at Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. It is a preferred spot among the lovers of tranquility who feel affection for spending several time in the drop of the enchantingly undamaged and serene hill stations. It’s a cantonment town in Uttaranchal with Garhwal Rifles all over. Very few ‘tourist’ spots there. In fact, you’ll see no tourists. It’s a place for peace, sunny patches on green slopes, to get away and just walk in the mountains as far and as much as you wish. Positioned nearly 81 kms from Pauri, Lansdowne placed at an elevation of 1,706 metres over the sea level. Lansdowne is well associated with motor able roads but still isolated in its own approach. Sanctified with wholesome environment and natural exquisiteness, this appealing hill station is delimited by lofty oaks and bulky blue pine forest. Lansdowne has quite a few trekking routes and several treks into the side of the hill are on track from Lansdowne. Trekking at La...
