Narayan Swami founded it in 1936. For decades it was a halt on the old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/kailash-manasarovar\">Kailash Manasarovar pilgrim<\/a> path. You can drive up now, but the last stretch from Tawaghat is rough and the weather decides how long it takes, so build the trip around a night in Dharchula and keep a spare day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> Narayan Ashram is 14 to 17 km from Tawaghat (the two district figures) and roughly 33 to 36 km from Dharchula, at 2,734 m. Go between April and June, or late September to November. Stay at the ashram guest house or KMVN\u2019s Tourist Rest House, and book before you leave Dharchula.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Narayan-Ashram-Dharchula.webp\" alt=\"Narayan Ashram, Dharchula\" width=\"1200\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Narayan-Ashram-Dharchula.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Narayan-Ashram-Dharchula-300x176.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Narayan-Ashram-Dharchula-1024x601.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Narayan-Ashram-Dharchula-768x451.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Narayan Ashram at a Glance<\/h2>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td>Detail<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Location<\/td>\n<td>Near Sosa village, Chaudans valley (also spelt Chaudas), Dharchula tehsil, Pithoragarh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Narayan Ashram altitude<\/td>\n<td>2,734 m (about 8,970 ft), per the Pithoragarh district administration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Founded<\/td>\n<td>26 March 1936, by Narayan Swami<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>From Tawaghat<\/td>\n<td>14 km (district\u2019s Narayan Ashram page); 17 km on the district\u2019s excursions page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>From Dharchula<\/td>\n<td>Roughly 33 to 36 km via Tawaghat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>From Pithoragarh<\/td>\n<td>116 km by road (district); 129 km (Kumaon division)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nearest airport<\/td>\n<td>Naini Saini, Pithoragarh, 100 km (district figure)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Railheads<\/td>\n<td>Tanakpur, 280 km (Kumaon division); Kathgodam, 350 km (district)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>History of Narayan Ashram<\/h2>\n<p>According to a Daily Excelsior feature, Narayan Swami came from a well-off family in Karnataka and completed the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra in 1935. He stayed on, and work began from a small hut on 26 March 1936.<\/p>\n<p>The late Kushal Singh Hyanki donated the first plot of land, and Swamiji later bought more from Sosa villagers. In those years the nearest motor road was about two weeks\u2019 walk away, so pilgrims and building material came up on foot.<\/p>\n<p>Before the 1962 India-China war, Kailash pilgrims rested here and received blankets, jaggery and sattu. Batches passed through again once the yatra reopened in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>The Pithoragarh district administration calls it a spiritual cum socio-educational centre, with a school for local children and youth training programmes.<\/p>\n<h2>What to see at Narayan Ashram<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The temple, with idols of Vishnu, Bhagwati, Hanuman, Shankar, Ganesh and Lakshmi.<\/li>\n<li>The meditation centre, added in 1982, and the Shunyata Kutir. Both are kept silent.<\/li>\n<li>A library of books on religion, philosophy and culture, mostly in Hindi and Gujarati.<\/li>\n<li>Narayan Swami\u2019s samadhi sthal.<\/li>\n<li>Flower and herb gardens and apple orchards, with short paths between them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to reach Narayan Ashram from Dharchula<\/h2>\n<p>Every route runs through Dharchula, 94 km from Pithoragarh by the district\u2019s count. From there the road follows the Kali river 19 km to Tawaghat (Kumaon division figure).<\/p>\n<h3>Tawaghat to Narayan Ashram distance and road<\/h3>\n<p>From Tawaghat a hill road climbs through the Chaudans valley to the ashram gate. The district\u2019s Narayan Ashram page says 14 km; its excursions page says 17 km. Add the 19 km from Dharchula and the drive is roughly 33 to 36 km.<\/p>\n<p>Hire a local jeep in Dharchula for this part. Some Tripadvisor reviewers took 4 to 7 hours from Dharchula on a damaged stretch, so ask drivers about the road the evening before.<\/p>\n<h3>Pithoragarh to Narayan Ashram, Dharchula<\/h3>\n<p>The district page gives 116 km by road but also calls the ashram \u201c136 km north of Pithoragarh\u201d; the Kumaon division says 129 km. Plan for about 130 km of mountain road via Dharchula.<\/p>\n<h3>By air, train and bus<\/h3>\n<p>Naini Saini Airport in Pithoragarh, 100 km away, has Alliance Air flights to Delhi and Dehradun; check the schedule. Pantnagar Airport means a much longer drive.<\/p>\n<p>Tanakpur is the nearest railhead at 280 km (Kumaon division). Kathgodam, 350 km away, has more trains from Delhi. Travellers report buses from Delhi to Dharchula; check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/uttarakhand\">Uttarakhand<\/a> Transport Corporation timings.<\/p>\n<h2>Step-by-step trip plan<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Reach Tanakpur or Kathgodam by train, or fly to Pithoragarh.<\/li>\n<li>Drive to Dharchula. It is a long mountain drive, so start early.<\/li>\n<li>Sleep in Dharchula and check road status with local drivers.<\/li>\n<li>Leave early for Tawaghat and the ashram.<\/li>\n<li>Stay one night, then return or continue towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/adi-kailash-yatra\/\">Adi Kailash<\/a> with a permit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Where to stay at Narayan Ashram Dharchula<\/h2>\n<h3>Ashram guest house<\/h3>\n<p>Traveller reports describe the Shri Annapurna guest house as simple rooms and dormitory beds for about 40 to 50 people, with shared bathrooms and vegetarian meals.

Dharchula to Tawaghat is 19 km, and official pages give 14 km or 17 km from Tawaghat to the ashram.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How far is Narayan Ashram from Pithoragarh?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The district gives 116 km by road; the Kumaon division says 129 km. Plan for about 130 km via Dharchula.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is the road to Narayan Ashram like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Motorable to the gate, but narrow and rough after Tawaghat. Check its condition in Dharchula before driving up.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can I stay overnight at Narayan Ashram?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, at the ashram guest house or KMVN TRH Narayan Ashram. Book before you travel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How much does KMVN Narayan Ashram cost?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>KMVN shows the rate for your dates on its booking portal. Extra beds are \u20b9200 a night and children over 5 pay 20% extra. No entry fee for the ashram appears on official sources.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is the best time to visit Narayan Ashram?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>April to June, then late September to November.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do I need a permit for Narayan Ashram?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Gunji and Adi Kailash need an Inner Line Permit. For the ashram road, confirm with SDM Dharchula.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is Narayan Ashram suitable for senior citizens?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, with a night in Dharchula first and warm clothes.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Narayan Ashram Dharchula is worth the rough road if you want quiet and a piece of Kumaon\u2019s pilgrimage history more than sightseeing. Go between April and June, stay a night, and carry your KMVN receipt and ID.
