KUMAON TOUR | PART - 7 | LOHAGHAT MAYAWATI ADWAIT ASHRAM TOUR

Lohaghat
A picturesque town located on the banks of River Lohawati, Lohaghat is one of the most pristine and unsullied destinations of the state's Kumaon region. The pride and joy of the Champawat district, Lohaghat is steeped in art, royalty and history as it served as the cultural capital of the erstwhile Chand dynasty.
Mayawati Ashram
22 km from Champawat and 9 km from Lohaghat, this ashram is situated at an altitude of 1940 meters. Mayawati shot into prominence after the Advait Ashram was established here. The ashram attracts spiritualists from India and abroad. Amid and old tea Estate, is the Advait Ashram of Mayawati. During his third visit to Almora in 1898, Swami Vivekanand decided to shift the publication office of ‘Prabuddh Bharat’ from Madras to Mayawati, from where it is published since then. The only presence that has become a part of the peace and solitude of Mayawati, is that of the mighty Himalaya in all its splendor. On request the Ashram provides board and lodging to visitors. There is also a library and a small museum at Mayawati.
