Nehlia Aqua Villas: Luxury Villas in Lansdowne for Sale

About Nehlia Aqua Villas Lansdowne Uttarakhand

Updated 4 October 2026.

In short: Nehlia Aqua Villas is a group of 10 riverside villas near Lansdowne, in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, marketed by Nehlia Developers, the Gurugram firm that traded as Nehlia Realtors until its 2026 rebrand and has the actor Randeep Hooda as its brand ambassador. The developer advertises fully furnished 3 BHK villas with a private pool, from Rs 1.80 crore, on a 40:30:30 payment plan, and estimates Airbnb income at Rs 75,000 to Rs 1 lakh a month. As of 4 October 2026 there is no Uttarakhand RERA number for the project on the public record and no portal lists it yet. If you live outside Uttarakhand, read the land-law section before anything else.

What Google shows for Nehlia Aqua Villas

Search the project by name today and you get no listing, no portal page and no news story about the villas themselves. What search does return is the company behind them and the place they are in. So this page is built in three layers: what the public record says about Nehlia Developers, what it says about Lansdowne and about buying property there, and what the developer's own advertisement says about the villas, labelled as the developer's word.

About Nehlia Developers

Nehlia Developers began as Nehlia Realtors LLP, a Gurugram (Gurgaon) property consultancy with its office on Sohna Road. As Nehlia Realtors it marketed other developers' projects in Gurugram, Sohna and Jhajjar. In 2026 it changed its name to mark a move into developing its own projects: plotted colonies, farmhouse communities and higher-end homes across North India, in the company's own description. The founder and chief executive is Ashok Nehlia and the managing director is Om Prakash Nehlia, so for anyone searching the Nehlia Realtors owner name, those are the two names on the record and the names to expect on an agreement.

On 27 July 2026 the company signed Randeep Hooda as brand ambassador, with a campaign across television, print, outdoor and social media. Its first large launch under the new name is Nehlia Santo Hills, a 75-acre managed farmhouse community. Phase one there is 50 farmhouse plots of 1,250 sq yd at a launch rate of Rs 10,999 per sq yd, which is about Rs 1.37 crore a plot before charges, with completion targeted for December 2028. The trade press places Santo Hills in the Aravalli hills near Rewari in Haryana, while most listings and our own Nehlia Santo Hills page place it near Neemrana on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, so the registration is the document that settles the address. As Nehlia Realtors, the firm also sold the Maple Drive plots near Reliance MET City in Jhajjar.

Among Nehlia Developers projects, then, Santo Hills is the one with a public record, and Aqua Villas is the newer one with only the developer's word behind it so far. As a developer the company is new, which means there is no finished Nehlia-built project to visit yet. That is the normal position for a firm at this stage, and it means the papers on each project carry more weight than the brand does.

Nehlia Aqua Villas as the developer describes them

Still not published: the land area of each villa, the built-up area, the village and khasra number, the completion date and the registration number. Those five are what to get in writing, and the land area matters most, for the reason set out under the land law below.

The pictures on this page are the developer's own promotional artwork. They show the intended look, a single row of ten gabled villas on a rocky riverbank below a highway, each with its own pool and lawn, but they are illustrations, not photographs of the site. Two of them show palm trees, which do not belong to the oak and pine country around Lansdowne, so read them as a mood board and ask to walk the land itself.

Where Lansdowne is, and how long the drive takes

Lansdowne is a small hill town and army cantonment in Pauri Garhwal, home to the Garhwal Rifles regimental centre, on a ridge at about 1,700 metres above Kotdwar. Cantonment rules have kept building inside the town tightly controlled, which is a large part of why its oak and pine forest is still standing and why people want a home in Lansdowne in the first place. The distance between Kotdwar and Lansdowne is roughly 40 km of hill road, and Kotdwar is the nearest railway station.

From Delhi the road distance is about 250 to 280 km, by Meerut, then Bijnor or Najibabad, then Kotdwar and the climb. On an ordinary day that is a drive of six to seven hours, more on a long weekend, so plan trips around that rather than the four hours in the advertisement. The rivers here, the Khoh and the Nayar near Gumkhal, run in valleys below the ridge, so a riverside property in Lansdowne will sit somewhere below the town rather than in it, and the developer's aerial artwork shows just that: villas on a riverbank beneath a highway. That is often a plus, with milder winters and an easier road, but it changes the address. Lansdowne's own bazaar is up on the ridge, so the main market 500 m away in the advertisement is probably a village market on the highway. Ask which one, ask for the village name, the khasra number and a map pin, and have all three written into the agreement.
