Uttarakhand is one of India’s richest biodiversity regions, where the Himalayan ecosystem meets dense forests, alpine meadows, rivers, and grasslands. Wildlife sanctuaries in the state protect rare flora and fauna while promoting eco-tourism, conservation, and sustainable travel.
From iconic tiger reserves to high-altitude sanctuaries, Uttarakhand offers immersive wildlife experiences under responsible tourism principles—core to the CharPankh philosophy.

Swami Vivekananda established the Ramakrishna Mission Association in 1897 to promote spiritual consciousness and harmony among religions. His disciple, Swami Virjanand Ji Maharaj, later published the complete works of Swami Vivekananda while staying at Mayawati Ashram.
In search of solitude, Swami Virjanand Ji settled near Shyamlatal, a serene natural lake surrounded by forested hills. Managed by the Ramakrishna Mission, the ashram opened in 1915 and remains a center for spirituality and social service.
The ashram is located approximately 22 km from Tanakpur and 56 km from Champawat.
