Sattal Sightseeing - Sattal Christian Ashram

Established by evangelist and missionary Revered Stanley Jones (1884-1973), Sattal Christian Ashram is located in the Nainital area, on the banks of Lake Sattal. Accessible by bus or train till Nainital, slow bus rides take travelers through narrow winding roads till 2 km before the Ashram. The last stretch is accessible on foot through a small path. Sattal Ashram is a great place for camping for Sunday schools, youth groups and adventure groups. With no access to television, newspapers, radio or even telephone networks, the Ashram makes for a peaceful and uninterrupted stay. The calm and serene settings of the Ashram in the midst of nature are completely devoid of distraction and provide visitors with a much needed break. With separate arrangements for men and women, there are options of taking up separate cottages, dormitories or shared rooms. On arrival at the ashram, visitors are briefed about the schedule and the code of conduct for the stay there. While home-cooked meals give a personalized experience, individual counseling for youth helps them seek guidance and direction. Interactive activities, prayers games and campfire make for an exciting and unforgettable stay at the ashram.
