- 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?
Yes for mussoorie people it's very common we don't travel in vehicles there
@@vadanshikasajwan5375 my dream destination. Could you please share some information about budget staying options there for a couple.
@@shubhramukherjee5773 check close by Himalayan club.
@@YogiBhava thank you...
While I was listening to your experience, it was like I am in Landour
Hopefully someday I'll take you there :)
Exactly
Truly said
Felt exactly same
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.
True
Wonderful to visit Landour with you again. Miss it. Have spent some wonderful days there as a youngster as my Dad was in the armed forces. It really is like stepping back in time. Nothing compares to the smell of pine trees.
I'm jealous 😊
Really nice narration. I have stayed in landour for 3 years as a kid above lal tibba. Nice to revisit.
Wow..
Very nicely narrated.. nothing less to a movie thank you for the video will definitely visit in Jan
Anybody who has been to landour, can totally correlate with your narration. Probably the best narration I ever heard
Landour is my favourite...❤❤🌹🌹...imagine driving through Landour's narrow yet those heavenly pathways. ..wow...walking is what makes it almost..."walking in paradise"
I just stumbled upon your channel and that's the best thing that happened this month,♥️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
@@THEUNTRAVELSHOW abhishek 😍😍😍 you are doing great job, I'm from dehradun and a travel lover.
@@THEUNTRAVELSHOWhi guys, I'm from Shillong,Meghalaya and I just watched your feature on Landour and I felt the urge to go there and spend a few days. Just like you n Amarjeet,I will always favour the mountains to other landscapes... Big fan already!
Same here
Roger that! Ahana
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.
I am Speechless. This Landour video of yours is a Masterpiece. I replayed it thrice and waiting for the day to visit this place.
Outstanding Narration!!
Thanks so much. Hope you get to visit soon 😊
Don’t know how and why this video got recommended to me...never thought will watch it till the end but I did...in the age of wannabe vlogers...I can feel this video to be straight from the heart!...great info about the place 👍...and the part about driving is so true! Not everyone’s cuppa tea!! 😅 I have been to Ivy so I know!!
Thanks a bunch Tara. Indeed the drive can get a bit tricky especially through the narrow uphill lanes
I was in Massurie this October. But couldn't go to Landour. I have heard that famous children book writer Ruskin Bond lives here with his family. Your Lively narration has made an long-lasting imprint of Landour on my mind. Iam going there sooner than later.
Hope you get to visit soon 😊
"THE"BEST DOCUMENTARY
Wow! How well he has described
Thanks man. Very kind of you :)
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

Wow, thank you!
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.
Hi.. I loved landour. Can we connect so that i can learn more about this place

Beautiful place with good voice
I wish Landor will remain as it is till now .I visited this place of yours 5years back.....it is really wonderful and ultimate .
I had saved this video on my list. Planning to do a quick solo to this beautiful quaint little town. This video has heart and soul and i am so grateful to You for putting this up ! It was almost like being teleported there ...or visualizing this straight out of a book!❤️
What a beautiful narration and glimpse of this magnificent locale. Truly appreciate it. Possessing a penchant for travel myself - especially in the mountains - I keep searching for good concise travel videos that summarize the very basics of the place. After a long haul I came across one. You may also want to try a place known as Kasar Devi in Almora, not sure if you have been there, it is pretty.
Ur naration is mesmerizing along wit this beautiful nature scenery
Thanks so much 😊
Love your video.. the way u explained everything and gave info is amazing.. feel connected...Good work

Wow! Bete, I am really impressed with your way of narrating the facts and useful information in your crystal clear and melodious-masculine voice and your work with the Camera. I too am a big-big lover of Green Hills ( Not Bare Rusty Rocks).

One of the best informative videos, to the point, crisp, with very good camera work, and touching. Narration is awesome.

As an ex Engineering student of Dehradun, Landour had always been my go to place and this video made me very nostalgic.
I witnessed my first and only ever snowfall in Landour so this place always be close to my heart.
I heard Cafe Ivy has been shut(I was extremely disheartened) but nonetheless Landour is indeed a heaven for peace and serenity seekers.
