Nainital Authorities Propose Visitor Registration for Kainchi Dham Amid Growing Crowds
Authorities in Nainital district, Uttarakhand, are considering a pre-registration system for visitors to Kainchi Dham, a popular pilgrimage site founded by Neem Karoli Baba, to manage increasing crowds and traffic congestion. The proposal includes capping daily visitor numbers and improving security and emergency planning. Meanwhile, devotees seeking less crowded spiritual experiences are encouraged to visit other Neem Karoli Baba sites across India, such as ashrams in Vrindavan and Farrukhabad, which hold historical and religious significance.
