India-administered Jammu and Kashmir wants to be the yoga capital of India, following the 2015 International Day of Yoga.

The resort of Mantalai in Udhampur is being developed as an international yoga centre (IYC) which is said to be ‘second to none’ in India.

The IYC aims to accommodate swimming pools, a gymnasium, auditoriums, and spas, as well as airstrips, helipads, hostels, a zoo, stud farms, cow shelters, orchards, forests, and a business convention centre in a 125-acre area.

The project report will be submitted in July/August 2015 to the ministry of tourism for funding. It is expected, pending funding, to take two years to complete.

The area once housed the Ashram of late Yogi Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari. After his death in an air crash in 1994 the Ashram has remained shut, and it was taken over by the state government. The state government now plans to make Mantalai the yoga capital, with up-to-date infrastructure, as a stand-alone tourist destination. Kashmir plans state-of-the-art yoga centre, not just for yoga, but for wellness.
