Nainital to Kanchi Dham distance is just only  17 km by road that takes approx 30 minutes to reach Kainchi Dham Ashram. Kainchi Dham Mandir is the most visited temple of Nainital in Uttarakhand.

My Journey

My journey started when I reached the beautiful city of Nainital. My Kainchi Dham tour package included a day stay at Nainital. Kainchi Dham is about 18 km from the main area of Nainital, and I was already getting hyped. After relishing some scrumptious food, I decided to step into the spiritual realm.

It was as if Neem Karoli Baba had blessed the entire path to his ashram as well. After a little while, I could finally see the bright orange-colored dome of the ashram. I peered down from my car, as the Kainchi Dham was still further down the valley.

As I entered the Ashram, I saw Neem Karoli Baba’s photos I realized why it was so popular. I felt a surge of tranquillity come over my entire body. It was as if God was cradling me and giving me warmth. The lovely hum of Bhajans filled my ear, as I saw the devotees singing with fervor in the other room.
