Kainchi is famous for the Ashram of the famous Hindu guru “Neem Karoli Maharaj”, popularly known as “Maharaj ji” among his followers.
The ashram is situated in the Nainital-Almora highway about 9kms from Bhowali, a very small town near Bhimtal.
Hundreds of people visit the ashram every day. Many people come here and meditate to find peace of mind and to get away from the hustle bustle of everyday life. Whenever I visit the Ashram I feel blissful. It helps me connect to my spiritual side. The atmosphere in the Ashram is very calm and quiet. I feel full of positivity whenever I visit this place. Every year on 15th June Kainchi Mela is organised, more than a lakh devotee visit the Ashram on this occasion and take the prasad.
