looking for cheap laid back spot. Help?!

Hi fellows!

So finally it happens - next week I'll be in India for the 3rd time, after 5 years from the last time!

As I need some quiet and relaxtion, I'm looking after my first spot (after Delhi, ofcz) where I could stay for long time (means - good atmosphere, not many tourist, good weather and cheap). First I thought about Rishikesh (which I visited few times before), but then fely it would be crowdy.

I read here about Lansdowne and immidiatly fall in love - I felt like it was the place I'm looking for. But then I started to wonder if it's realy a laid-back place and if I can find there a place for long stay (actually, didn't find lot of info in the web about this place).

So after reading Tones of threads here - can anyone share his expirience or opinion about Lansdowne? any other suggestion for a cool place for next week?

10X!

Try Uttarkashi - Lansdowne is laid back even in peak season - dn't know about long term stay options though.

I suspect that you are Indian yourself and residing in India. Are you really about to to arrive for the third time in India?

10x. any suggestion about long-stay option in Lansdowne? is the place is upmark as other Hill station or can I find nice quiet cheap guest house?

Well, I can asure you that I'm not Indian (atleast it was like that last time I checked...). why do you think so anyway?

Lansdowne doesn't have too many guest houses and hotels - the one that are there have already been mentioned on the thread. You could try and see if you can find any rented accommodation. It is mainly a cantonment town and it may be difficult for you to find any.

I've only ever heard "crowdy" from Indians. I guess I should have put this on the Indian English thread instead of guessing about you pointlessly.
