(a Neelgay had come in front of our car), so drive very carefully. after Najibabad , one runs again into the jungle patch. so again drive carefully. lots of jungle caution signs , so you will know when you are in the patch. you enter uttranchal at Kotdwar, so there are barriers of Up police & Uttranchal police there. lansdowne is a place where one should go for at least 3 days , carry your favourite books/ music/ movie and just chill out. it is not essentially (like shimla, mussorie/ manali, etc) a tourist place witha mall road, eatries, shops, etc. its just a town in the hills. and it is approx 1400 m in height. book your rooms before hand. there are hardly places to stay there. at night , everything is closed . NOTHING MOVES AROUND, NO PAN , BIDI , CIGARATTES, CHAI , NOTHING !!! any specif queries , mail me at : sinha_saurabh@yahoo.com Hi , was in Lansdowne recently, i.e. 8/9th Nonember,2008.

the route is delhi-mohan nagar- modinagar-meerut-bijnor-najibabad-kotdwar-lansdowne.

the road conditions are fantastic . we had left at 5pm and reached around 1.30 am in the morning. we had presumed that the stretch between meerut & bignor & najibabad is a notorious patch, so we were apprehensive. after crossing meerut , we had a quick grub at “monty millions”(has a clean wash room + safe parking + nice garden). has a small Cd shop also.

the road to bijnor –najibabad, and onwards was fantastic , we keeping an average speed of 80 kmph. its very safe , we could actually see cops standing beside the road at distances (in UP ).

there is no bad patch of road throughout the journey though after bijnor, one runs into a jungle patch . there we can have animals crossing the road.
