Jaiharikhal (and nearby Lansdowne) offer you with several interesting things to see and do during your stay…
Lansdowne Cantonment: Extremely well planned cantonment complex which is responsible for Lansdowne’s aesthetic appeal and home to the Garwhal Rifles, which has a great tradition of valour.
Bhulla Tal Lake:
Drop in at this charming little lake and enjoy a few rounds of paddle boating. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful places in Lansdowne, and was constructed by the Jawans of Garwhal Regiment.
Garwhal Rifles Museum: Visit this amazing museum which tells the story of the entire history of the regiment and its exploits as well as a lot of antique arms and armaments of yesteryears.
Colonial Architecture:
A favourite hill station of the British, Lansdowne is therefore home to some excellent examples of colonial architecture like the St. Mary’s chapel and St. John’s Church.
Tiffin Top: This is one of the most popular spots in Lansdowne with spectacular panoramic views which seem out of a scenic painting. You can see the mighty Himalayas from there with numerous mountain hamlets peppered along its slopes.
Scenic Walks: For those who enjoy a brisk evening walk, the short trail (3 kms) to Lansdowne (from Jaiharikhal) will be an invigorating experience.
Nature Hikes: More adventurous visitors can embark on one of several hikes – from a day-long 30 km hike to Satpuli on the Nayar River or an hour long climb to Bhairav Garhi
Temples: There are several temples worth visiting near Jaiharikhal including the Tarkeshwar Mahadev temple (dedicated to Lord Shiva) which is amidst a think forest of beautiful Deodar trees.
Wonderful place with wonderful people. A very homely environment…
Beautiful hill station with pine trees all around.The owners, Colonel Rawat and his wife, live in a house adjacent to the hotel. The personal care, worm hospitality and attention of Col. Rawat and his family makes you feel like their personal guest.Even his two dogs “Archi” and “FiFi” a beautiful brown and white colour cocker spaniel puppy join everyone to entertain all evening.It is a perfect hill station holiday destination.
I totally second Anuradha’s thoughts on Col Rawat & his Wife’s resort abode. Upon arriving, one is immediately hit with their warmth & hospitality. The proximity to Lansdowne is a huge plus as well as the food which is prepared with Mrs Rawats personal supervision…
A must visit..
