Situated in the serene Kumaon hills, Kainchi Dham is a popular spiritual site in the Nainital district. It is established by a famous Baba Neem Karoli Maharaj. The road near the ashram has two sharp hairpin bends that resemble a pair of scissors, hence the name “Kainchi”.
Kainchi Dham is a haven for spiritual seekers from different parts of the world. It is set in the lap of lush green Himalayan forests. You can find a grand idol of Hanumanji and photos of Neem Karoli Baba and other deities here.

Kainchi Dham History
On 25th May 1962, Shri Neem Karoli Maharaj first crossed the river along with Shri Ma and put his sacred foot here. It was the place where Premi Baba and Somveri Baba used to live and perform havans. Babaji ordered to build the Hanuman temple here. Later, he also built the Mata Vindyavasini temple. The Maharajji’s temple and the Vaishno Devi temple were built within the ashram in 1974 after the demise of Baba. His murthi was installed after the completion of the temple. Both these temples were consecrated on 15th July 1976.
