Landour - A Love Affair With Winding Walks & Chocolate Pancakes | Chalte Hain Phir | Travel Podcast

Chalte Hain Phir is a travel podcast series meant to uncover the secret gems and their stories. And its fitting that the pilot episode be about Landour - the place I fell in love with 4 years back.
Nestled among the Dehradun Himalayas, Landour is a small cantonment town (just 5 kms away from Mussoorie) thats's home to India's favourite author, Ruskin Bond. From pine forests to vintage cottages to cosy bakeries, Landour seems like an old colonial town lost in time. The winding roads, the fresh mountain air and the fact that Landour is in a no-new-construction zone, have made it possible to preserve its old world charm and character for so many decades.
And this travel podcast is a traveler's guide to know everything about Landour:
02:30 How to reach Landour
03:06 Places to visit in Landour and delicacies at Char Dukan
04:17 Best Time To Visit Landour
04:51 Where to stay in Landour - History of Rokeby Manor & La villa Bethany
06:33 Cozy cafes of Landour
07:04 Interesting stories hidden in the old bungalows, anglican churches and Landour language school
08:00 The unique phenomenon of Winterline - A natural occurrence that happens only in Mussoorie & Switzerland

I used to think Landour was my secret, untill I got trapped in midst of a lengthy traffic jam. Me and my cousins always used to walk to landour from mussoorie, thr cafes, the views of valleys and mountains are just splendid, it's something i'm too selfish to share but alas it's out now.

Walk? Is it at walkable distance?

Cars must not be allowed inside Landour. Recently I was in this beautiful town and we heard of a fight over parking. Most of the people coming these days just come for posting pics of IG , not really absorbing the feel of the place.

I've grown up reading Ruskin Bond and have always wanted to be in Landour ever since I know this place. So when the first time I visited the place, it was such a surreal experience because everything that I read all my childhood came to life and it kind of teleported me to something different altogether.

[@suneetagupta1667]

You inspired me it’s been a year I’m in Rishikesh.. been to masoorie last month, I’ve been staying in Leh Ladakh from 2011-2013 , I’m a mountain 🏔 person love ❤️ travel & experiencing life differently.. I so so wish we could meet

[@indirakuriyan9366]

So wonderful to see Landour again! Multiple times in my youth, lived just past Prakash's quaint Enid Blyton shop, at Kilmarnock - named for the place in Scotland where Johnny Walker whisky is made. Prakash also made the most amazing BlackBerry jam and apple chutney. Local bakers who had learnt how to make goodies from the British, used to come around with trunks full of cinnamon bread, almond drops, peppernints and sticky toffee. Thanks for the post, memories are lovely.
