Traffic in Kainchi bang: what to expect?
The roads moving towards Kainchi Dham are narrow and the parking space around the temple is limited. During the weekends, holidays and special festivals (such as the annual fair of 15 June), there is a huge pressure of vehicles, which can lead to hours.
To deal with this problem, local administration has taken several steps:
- शटल सेवा: यह सबसे महत्वपूर्ण व्यवस्था है।
- Parking Lot: The parking system for the tributes to Bhimtal route from Haldwani is carried out in the Industrial Area Bhimtal Car Park. Near Parking Bhawali Sanitorium (about 1.5 kilometres before Kanchi Bypass) has been set for the tributes that come by the Jyolicoat-Bhawal route from Haldwani.
- शटल का समय:
- In normal days: from 8:00 pm to 2:00 pm.
- Weekends and festivals: from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm 1 ।
- Restrictions on Heavy Vehicles: During the weekends and festivals, from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm (some special occasions from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm) Kainchi are restricted to heavy vehicles in the Dham area.
- Special Fair Plans: Additional police force, route change and special parking and shuttle arrangements are implemented during large events like 15 June.
