A forested spiritual retreat beside the mountain road, known for Neem Karoli Baba, Hanuman devotion, silence, and deeply felt faith.
About the place
Kainchi Dham is a revered ashram and temple set between forested hills on the Nainital-Almora road. Devotees come for Hanuman worship, Neem Karoli Baba's legacy and a pause from restless travel, though peak festival days can transform the quiet valley into an intensely crowded pilgrimage centre.
