Advaita Ashram - After this, we reached the Advaita Ashram, This Ashram was built in 1899 and it is said that Swami Vivekananda ji stayed there for a few days. Advait Ashram Timings - 9:00 am - 11:30 am 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm We got a little late. Ashram is closed from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. We explored the surroundings of the Advaita Ashram, and we found there the Mayawati Dairy, the Meditation point of Swami Swarupananda ( Disciple of Vivekananda Ji ) & also there is a Mayawati Charitable Hospital for the locals of the village. Koli Dhek Lake - On the way to Lohagat, 2 km before Lohaghat market we visited the “Koli Dhek Lake”, It is the top tourist destination for Lohaghat & Champawat. Lunch at Homestay - After this we back to our homestay for our Lunch. We had the Local food for lunch - Jaula, Pahadi Pyaz ki Sabzi, Jholi & the Bhatiya. Overall we enjoyed the local food at our Homestay. Banasur Fort - After lunch we visited the Banasur Fort, It is a 2 km trek to go up there to the Fort. The view from the fort was really amazing & pleasing to the eye from here we can see the clear view of Lohaghat, & Champawat. Banasur Fort needs some maintenance, I am sure this place can be turned out to a beautiful Tourist attraction here in Champawat. Tea & Bunkatki - After this, we travelled around 5 km to have some famous “Bun Katki” of Ghor Chaura. We had the Bun Katki & the tea here. After this we ended our day & also ended our Uttrakhand tour here because of the Jungle fire thing in the Pithoragarh & Munsiyari region.
