EP - 1 Exploring Champawat, Uttarakhand | Kumauni Local Food | Advaita Ashram, Banasur Fort

Champawat in Uttarakhand is famous for Its natural beauty. In this video, we explored Champawat & it’s sightseeing destinations.
Date of Journey - 3rd May 2024
Just in case you have missed watching our previous BTS episode Journey from Delhi to Tanakpur. You may check the video on the below link.
Link -
Hari Indira Homestay - We started our day in the Morning at our Homestay in Lohaghat. We stayed here for 2 Nights, overall the stay was good at this Homestay.
Tariff - Rs 3000 for double occupancy for May Month
Breakfast at Homestay - After this, we had our breakfast at the Homestay. We had “Gehat Dal Paratha, Bhaang ki Chatni & Kumauni Raita in the breakfast.
Tiffin Top - On the way to Advaita ashram we stopped at the “Tiffin Top” & experienced the beautiful view from here.
Advaita Ashram - After this, we reached the Advaita Ashram, This Ashram was built in 1899 and it is said that Swami Vivekananda ji stayed there for a few days.
Advait Ashram Timings - 9:00 am - 11:30 am
1:00 pm - 6:00 pm
We got a little late. Ashram is closed from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.
We explored the surroundings of the Advaita Ashram, and we found there the Mayawati Dairy, the Meditation point of Swami Swarupananda ( Disciple of Vivekananda Ji ) & also there is a Mayawati Charitable Hospital for the locals of the village.
Koli Dhek Lake - On the way to Lohagat, 2 km before Lohaghat market we visited the “Koli Dhek Lake”, It is the top tourist destination for Lohaghat & Champawat.
Lunch at Homestay - After this we back to our homestay for our Lunch. We had the Local food for lunch - Jaula, Pahadi Pyaz ki Sabzi, Jholi & the Bhatiya.
Overall we enjoyed the local food at our Homestay.
Banasur Fort - After lunch we visited the Banasur Fort, It is a 2 km trek to go up there to the Fort. The view from the fort was really amazing & pleasing to the eye from here we can see the clear view of Lohaghat, & Champawat.
Banasur Fort needs some maintenance, I am sure this place can be turned out to a beautiful Tourist attraction here in Champawat.
Tea & Bunkatki - After this, we travelled around 5 km to have some famous “Bun Katki” of Ghor Chaura. We had the Bun Katki & the tea here.
After this we ended our day & also ended our Uttrakhand tour here because of the Jungle fire thing in the Pithoragarh & Munsiyari region.

बाली जी आपसे निवेदन है, हर tour में दो, चार वृक्ष ज़रूर लगाए, लोगों को भी वृक्ष लगाने को कहे। दोस्तों भीषण गर्मी में पेड़ के नीचे बैठकर देखो तब पता चलेगा पेड़ की अहमियत

[@xyzvideos288]

सही कहा जी आपने जब भी कहीं हम रोड पर जाते हैं तो हमेशा हम देखते हैं कहीं डार्क छाया में रुके पेड़ होंगे तभी छाया मिलेगी

Visa to explore is now left only for viewing waterfall , temples , monasteries and some food . It has lost its charm ever since HBT was culled out of it . The continuity and the natural scenario is all lost in visa to explore. Extremely poor episode and gradual degradation.

Excellent video! Beautiful shooting of awesome locations at Champawat and Lohaghat. Story telling of Banasur at that fort is very interesting and engaging. कोई भी कुछ भी कहें, लेकिन भारत के ऐसे अद्भुत और अलौकिक लोकेशन को आपके दर्शक बहुत पसंद करते हैं। This video 1.5 lakh+ views in just one day.... And the last episode of Bāli, Indonesia 1.5 lakh+ views in eight days. Bad luck that this Uttarakhand tour just one video 😮 Anyways Thanks 🎉

[@Gaurav.M.]

I was looking for places near kathgodam and got to see champawat and looked for the info about it through google and then I thought of looking for it on youtube and was thinking, that there is that guy who visited puducherry and took us to beautiful Odisha.. may be he has made a video about this place.. and here you are.. just 19 hrs ago.. lol

Excellent Vlog... Nice to see U back in your original form with your confidence & wit which was somehow missing in Bali Series after first n second episodes. I will advise you to stick to ur strength of showing different places of India with food n people along with covering the Natural Wonders. Waiting for U to visit Central Chhattisgarh (Raipur City & Food + Sirpur + Bhoramdeo + Bhilai Steel Plant ) and then North Chhattisgarh... Currently eagerly waiting for ur MP & Himachal series

[@bhaskardeb8248]

Sir, I am a regular viewer of your channel Recently I have been to Kumaon region and feel so sad to see the conditions of mountains. Over tourism and insensitivity of North Indian tourists is causing over exploitation of these places. Let some places remain unexplored.

The best and oldest way for Adi kailash / kailash mansarovar is from Haldwani via almora- sheraghat- Berinag - Thal - Didihat- ogla - jauljeebi - Dharchula.. New road from Tankpur via champawat/loghaghat may be fast, but it lacks the scenic beauty and major attractions that the formar offers.

Its my opinion and other may disagree; but I would really wish you slow down a bit. May be one city and neighborhood in an episode; deep diving into the heritage, roots, history and some out of the box travel stories.
