Well-connected by road networks within Uttarakhand. Closest major transit hubs are located in the surrounding state region.
Nestled in a picturesque valley between two hills in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, Kainchi Dham is a world-renowned spiritual sanctuary and ashram. Established by the revered saint Maharaj Neem Karoli Baba in the 1960s, the ashram is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and serves as a haven of peace, devotion, and selfless service (seva).The name 'Kainchi' derives from a local term referring to two sharp hairpin bends in the road resembling a pair of scissors. The complex features exquisitely maintained temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman, Lord Shiva, Goddess Durga, and Neem Karoli Baba himself, surrounded by lush pine forests and a gushing mountain stream.Kainchi Dham gained worldwide prominence after global tech leaders, including Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, visited or drew inspiration from the teachings associated with Neem Karoli Baba during pivotal moments in their lives.
