About this yatra
Kainchi Dham sits quietly where two hills cross like the blades of scissors — kainchi — beside a mountain stream. Neem Karoli Baba lived here, and devotees from India and across the world come for the silence and the blessing he still gives.
We combine Kainchi Dham with Nainital and the 125 stone temples of Jageshwar Dham for a short, gentle trip into the Kumaon hills.
