Sterling Holiday Resorts has announced the launch of Sterling Valley of Pine, Lansdowne, a boutique mountain retreat nestled near Gumkhal and surrounded by dense pine forests. With this launch, Sterling Holiday Resorts has expanded its Uttarakhand portfolio to nine resorts, thereby reinforcing its presence in one of India’s most prominent hill and forest tourism regions.
Notably, Sterling Valley of Pine, Lansdowne, positions itself as a serene, view-centric retreat designed for travellers who value privacy, outdoor immersion, and slower-paced getaways. The resort actively caters to leisure travellers, intimate celebrations, and leadership off-sites, while also functioning as a strategic base for circuit travel across Uttarakhand. In particular, the location appeals to visitors from Delhi NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh.
Furthermore, every room at the resort features a private balcony overlooking pine-covered valleys, ensuring uninterrupted natural views. Additionally, select rooms provide access to open terraces that overlook the swimming pool and surrounding landscape. The property also offers multiple dining and gathering spaces, including Lans Café for all-day dining, Sky Social for open-air social gatherings, and Sky Vista, a glass-walled meeting venue designed specifically for corporate sessions and leadership programmes.
Commenting on the launch, Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts, said, “Uttarakhand continues to be one of India’s most enduring year-round holiday regions, and Sterling has built deep familiarity with how travellers engage with the state across seasons. Valley of Pine, Lansdowne, adds a calmer, more design-forward chapter to our mountain portfolio—created for guests who want meaningful time outdoors and destinations that feel restorative yet accessible. It also strengthens our presence across Mussoorie, Nainital, Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Jim Corbett National Park—helping us curate connected, experience-led journeys across the region.”
Meanwhile, Meghna Bhatnagar from Dev Bhoomi highlighted the strategic partnership behind the project. She said, “We are thrilled to partner with Sterling for our flagship retreat in Lansdowne. Our vision was to create a retreat that brings different guests from across India, while we offer them refined hospitality. Sterling is a natural choice to bring this vision to life—their deep understanding of India’s leisure segment, regional presence, and ability to blend local character with national scale make them an ideal collaborator.”
In addition, the resort enhances the guest experience with a wide range of amenities. These include a swimming pool, steam and sauna facilities, guided nature walks, bonfire evenings, and pet-friendly accommodations. Its proximity to Gumkhal further enables travellers to seamlessly combine mountain escapes, spiritual destinations, and wildlife experiences across Uttarakhand.
