We got a little late. Ashram is closed from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.

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.
