Kausani
Anamay Vedic Retreat is located adjacent to Anamay Ashram on the outskirt of the village of Kausani in the Kumaon Himalaya region of the state of Uttarakhand in an area well known for its natural beauty. It is situated on the north facing side of the mountain with clear view of high Himalayas. Kausani is a world-famous tourist location because it offers perhaps the most spectacular panoramic view of the Himalayas in all of India. It is approximately 400 kilometers north east of Delhi and the region borders Nepal to the east and Tibet to the north.
It was the vistas and peaceful atmosphere of Kausani which inspired Mahatma Gandhi to write his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita which was to become such an important resource in India’s efforts for independence. From Kausani one can see many towering sacred peaks such as Trishul and the Pancha-chuli range.
