I am so happy to take you on a virtual journey to a place I love. Lansdowne is a haven for writers, photographers, artists, thinkers and bird - watchers. It is very quiet. Modern lifestyle has not touched it. You feel yourself being thrown back into a very idyllic time zone. You must visit Lansdowne, @blackrussian. In fact , Himalayas are an experience in themselves. There are many beautiful and protected "virgin" towns in Himalayan foothills. Protected and preserved by the Indian Army 😊
