How do I create a conda envirionment with a specifed python version?

I want to create an environment with python version 3.6.

I was following this: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-python.html

When I do conda search python I see all the versions including 3.6

But, when I do conda create -n py36 python=3.6 anaconda it takes forever to run so I ended up interrupting.

When I do conda create -n py36 python=3.6 and then check the version(after activating the environment), it is 2.7.16. The problem is not specific to trying to create an environment with 3.6 but any version. They all end up being 2.7.16

Creating env : conda create -n py36 python=3.6 anaconda

Activating your env: conda activate py36

Checking your version inside your env: python --version

EDIT:

To check all envs created by conda: conda env list

Your global python version might be 2.7.16.
