Restaurant India News: Sterling Launches Valley of Pine, Lansdowne

Sterling Holiday Resorts today announced the launch of Sterling Valley of Pine, Lansdowne, a boutique mountain retreat nestled amid dense pine forests near Gumkhal—a view-led retreat with warm, pinewood interiors and open terraces, created for unhurried getaways.

The opening marks Sterling’s ninth resort in Uttarakhand—reinforcing the brand’s circuit strength in one of India’s most loved hill-and-forest holiday regions.

“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,” shared Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts.

Conceived for purposeful mountain travel, Sterling Valley of Pine, Lansdowne introduces a quieter, forest-driven escape within Sterling’s hill portfolio—designed for travellers seeking space, privacy and meaningful outdoor time.

Designed to frame the valley from multiple vantage points, all rooms feature private balconies with far-reaching views across the pine valleys, while select indulgent havens include access to open terraces overlooking the pool and the surrounding landscape.

The guest experience is anchored around food, togetherness and meaningful moments—supported by three signature venues: Lans Café – all-day dining in a warm pinewood setting with panoramic valley and garden views, Sky Social – an open-to-sky terrace for sunset gatherings, bonfire evenings and small celebrations and Sky Vista – a glass-walled meeting venue overlooking the valley and forests, designed for leadership offsites and private workshops

“We are thrilled to partner with Sterling for our flagship retreat in Lansdowne. Our vision was to create a retreat that brings a different guest from across India, while we offer them refined hospitality,” added Meghna Bhatnagar, from Dev Bhoomi.

Among the other compelling reasons to stay are curated regional delicacies, a swimming pool, steam and sauna facilities, guided nature walks, bonfire evenings and pet-friendly vacations—making it a well-rounded, off-the-grid retreat.
