Neem Karauli Baba had built Hanuman temples and ashrams in and around Nainital, with which people's faith is associated today. If you are on a trip to Kainchi Dham, then you can make your trip complete by visiting these four Dhams of Baba and getting the unbroken blessings of Baba.

This is the most famous and prominent Dham of Baba, which was built by Neem Karoli Baba himself. A huge Bhandara is held here every year on 15 June. This Dham is located on the Bhawali-Almora road and is famous for the miraculous deeds of Baba. There is also a statue of Baba along with Hanuman ji, where devotees experience peace and spiritual energy. This place has also been the place of penance of Somwari Maharaj.

This Dham is located on the hill of Manora on the Nainital-Haldwani motorway, about 2 km from Nainital city. Baba built a hut here in 1950 and installed a huge statue of Hanuman ji in the year 1953. Later, Ram Mandir and Shiv Mandir were also constructed. This place is also famous for its beautiful view of sunrise and sunset. Many miracles of Baba are also associated with this temple.
