Exploring Auli Uttarakhand Bhimtal Homestay & Neem Karoli Baba

Exploring Uttarakhand, Bhimtal Homestay & Neem Karoli Baba Ashram with Travelophila

There are journeys that refresh your mind, and then there are those that touch your soul. For Mr. John and his four friends, their 7-day trip to Uttarakhand was both — a perfect mix of peace, beauty, and divine energy. Traveling with Travelophila, their experience unfolded like a dream, taking them from the calm lakes of Bhimtal to the snowy magic of Auli, and finally to the spiritual heart of Neem Karoli Baba Ashram.

The Beginning – From Delhi to the Hills

It was early morning in Delhi when Mr. John and his friends started their journey. The city was still waking up, and the chill in the air hinted at the adventure waiting in the mountains. Travelophila’s team had arranged everything — the vehicle, the driver, the route plan, and cozy stays along the way. The drive through the winding roads of Uttarakhand was filled with laughter, tea breaks, and stunning mountain views.

As the car climbed higher, the noise of the city faded away. Pine trees lined both sides of the road, and by afternoon, they reached Bhimtal — their first stop in the lap of Kumaon.

Stay at Bhimtal – A Homely Welcome

The homestay in Bhimtal was a gem. Set amidst oak and pine trees, it offered a panoramic view of the tranquil lake shimmering in the golden sunset. The host greeted them with warm smiles and steaming cups of pahadi tea.

That evening, they walked around Bhimtal Lake, feeding the ducks, watching the boats drift by, and soaking in the peace that city life had taken away. Dinner was home-cooked — dal, chapati, and local vegetables — simple yet soul-satisfying.

The next day, the group explored nearby attractions — Naukuchiatal, Sattal, and a hidden waterfall suggested by the locals. Mr. John, who loved photography, couldn’t stop capturing the beauty of mist floating over the water.

Bhimtal wasn’t just a stay; it felt like home.

The Spiritual Stop – Neem Karoli Baba Ashram

Before leaving for Auli, Mr. John’s group made a special stop at the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Kainchi Dham. The serene atmosphere, ringing temple bells, and scent of incense created an aura of peace. Mr. John, who had only read about the ashram’s divine energy, finally understood why so many visitors return year after year.

They spent some quiet moments meditating near the temple, and each person felt a unique calm — as if time had slowed down. The visit wasn’t planned for long, but nobody wanted to leave early. It was the spiritual heartbeat of their journey.

Journey to Auli – Where the Snow Awaits

The road to Auli was nothing short of breathtaking. As the car climbed higher, the peaks grew taller and the air colder. Travelophila’s itinerary included a stay near the Auli base camp, where a local homestay awaited the group. Snow greeted them right outside the house, and the hosts welcomed them with a bonfire and warm soup.

That night, under a sky full of stars, Mr. John said, “This feels like heaven on earth.”

The following morning, the group took the ropeway ride — one of Asia’s longest — from Joshimath to Auli. The views of Nanda Devi Peak left them speechless. The snow glistened in the sunlight, and everywhere they turned, it was postcard-perfect.

They spent the day skiing, playing with snow, and chatting with locals who shared stories of mountain life. For first-time visitors, Auli was not just a place — it was an emotion.

Auli Base Camp – Homestay Experience

Their stay at the Auli base camp homestay was another highlight. The rooms were cozy, the food freshly cooked, and the hospitality unmatched. The owner, a retired army man, told tales of old treks and snow expeditions. Mr. John loved how Travelophila always picked stays that had warmth and character, not just comfort.

Evenings were spent sitting by the fire, watching the stars, and sipping herbal tea. The simplicity of the mountains had cast its magic.

Visit to Dol Ashram – Peace and Meditation

On their way back, they made a peaceful stop at Dol Ashram, known for its calm environment and meditation halls. The group attended a short session where monks chanted softly, and the air felt charged with positivity. Mr. John later said it was one of the most peaceful hours of his life — a silence that spoke louder than words.

The Journey Home

The final day was a mix of joy and nostalgia. As they drove back to Delhi, the group shared stories, songs, and plans for their next mountain escape. Mr. John looked out the window at the retreating hills and whispered, “I came here for a break but found something much deeper — peace.”

Travelophila’s seamless coordination made every moment special — from hotel bookings and transfers to local sightseeing and meals. It wasn’t just a trip; it was a life experience.
