Kainchi Dham near Nainital introduces shuttle service to solve traffic issues

Kainchi Dham is probably one of the most revered spiritual spots in India dedicated to Lord Hanuman. The place remains absolutely crowded on most of the days, especially on special occasions. But soon traffic woes at the famous Kainchi Dham (also known as Neeb Karori Baba Aashram) will be solved with the newly introduced shuttle services. The services have been introduced at the revered site which is close to Nainital in Uttarakhand.
The recently introduced shuttle services will meet the large number of devotees and also solve traffic woes in the region. The small and narrow lanes here always cause major traffic problems. There’s also limited parking space causing traffic jams, mostly on weekends and during holidays.
To solve this problem, the shuttle services were launched on March 26, 2025. Let’s have a look at important details:
Shuttle service
The shuttle service is a response to the growing number of visitors to Kainchi Dham, a temple established by the revered Neem Karoli Baba. Due to its growing global recognition and popularity, roads to the temple frequently become congested, making travel difficult for both pilgrims and residents. By encouraging visitors to park in designated areas and take the shuttle buses to the temple, the authorities hope to reduce the traffic issues.
Parking spots and shuttle timings
For pilgrims coming from Haldwani via Bhimtal: Parking will be available at the Industrial Area Bhimtal car park.
For those coming from Haldwani via Jyolikot-Bhowali: Parking will be located near the Bhowali Sanatorium, some 1.5 km from the Kainchi Bypass.
The shuttle schedule
Regular Days: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Weekends & Festivals: 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Traffic control measures

In addition to the shuttle service, authorities are implementing measures to manage traffic flow better. On weekends and during festivals, heavy vehicles will be restricted from entering the area around Kainchi Dham from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
This restriction will help reduce traffic delays and ensure that roads remain clear for pilgrims. Authorities have also requested that pilgrims adhere to traffic regulations and cooperate with local law enforcement to make the new system effective.
With the new shuttle service and traffic management measures in place, visiting Kainchi Dham will become more convenient for devotees. Cooperation from pilgrims will be essential to making this initiative a success, and it will help maintain the serene and sacred atmosphere of this beloved spiritual site.
