The Himalaya Study Centre and Retreat is located in Kausani, India, famous for its breathtaking views of the snow-capped Himalaya across a broad forested valley through which flows the Koshi River, a tributary of the Ganges. The serene beauty of Kausani is so appealing to the heart, mind, and senses that Mahatma Gandhi compared it to the mountainous beauty of peaceful Switzerland.
Located in the midst of white pine, deodar cedar, and Himalayan oak forests, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the snow-crowned Himalayan peaks tower over the Retreat like so many majestic gods and lend their perfume of perfect peace and order to those living in their shelter.
Moreover, the climate in Kausani is delightfully cool year round. It is not uncommon to find visitors wearing light sweaters and shawls even in May and June. When the plains are inundated in sweltering heat and smog, Kausani is breathing the cool, clean, fresh air of the Himalayas laden with the delightful scent of pine and cedar. Don’t you want to make Kausani your home away from home? That is precisely the purpose of the Himalaya Study Center and Retreat.
