About the place

The feeling of Kanvashram

Kanvashram lies near the Malini River outside Kotdwar and is associated with Sage Kanva and the story of Shakuntala. The wooded foothill setting, archaeological memory and old tradition of learning give the place a gentle cultural depth, offering a reflective contrast to the movement of the nearby gateway city.
