How To Reach Shyamlatal Lake & Ashram
Champawat, Uttarakhand, India
Place Details: Shyamlatal is a serene high-altitude lake situated at an elevation of 1500 meters, famous for its deep blue-black water which gives it its name ("Shyamla" meaning dark). The lake is surrounded by lush green hills and dense forests of oak and rhododendron, creating a secluded paradise for nature lovers. On the banks of this lake lies the Vivekananda Ashram, a branch of the Ramakrishna Mission, established in 1915. The ashram provides a spiritual retreat where monks and seekers engage in meditation and the study of Vedantic philosophy. The entire area exudes a profound sense of peace, making it a preferred destination for those seeking a break from the noise of the world. Historically, the lake has been a point of interest since the British era, but its spiritual significance grew after the establishment of the ashram by the disciples of Swami Vivekananda. The lake itself is natural and is fed by underground springs, maintaining its water level throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy quiet walks around the perimeter of the lake, which is approximately 1.5 kilometers in circumference. The reflection of the towering trees in the dark water creates a mystical atmosphere, especially during the monsoon when the mist rolls over the surface. The ashram also runs a small hospital and several social service initiatives for the local villagers, embodying the principle of "Service to Man is Service to God." Many visitors choose to stay at the ashram for a few days to experience the disciplined and spiritual lifestyle of the monks. The silence of the area is only broken by the occasional chirping of birds or the sound of the ashram bell. It is one of the few places in Uttarakhand where tourism remains secondary to spirituality and nature conservation. :
