Chinmaya Tapovan is a modern day ashram situated at the foothills of the majestic
Dhauladhar ranges of the
Himalayas. It is about 10 km from
Dharamsala, in
Himachal Pradesh.
Situated on the banks of Bindu Saras, the ashram was founded by late Swami Chimayananda, a great exponent of the Gita. The ashram complex has a 9 m high image of Lord Hanuman, a Ram temple, a meditation hall, a school, and a health and recreation center.
Chamundi Mandir, Jwalaji, Kangra Devi and
Mcleodganj are the nearby interesting places. A mini forest of pine trees, which is a few hundred yards away, is a very good picnic spot with absolutely no noise around.
Pathankot Railway Station is the nearest railway station. Regular bus connects the ashram with Dharamsala and Pathankot.
