Table of Contents
Toggle🌄 Introduction
The Adi Kailash and Om Parvat Yatra 2025 is one of the most spiritually enriching expeditions in India — a sacred journey to the ‘Abode of Lord Shiva’ nestled in the Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand.
Adi Kailash, known as Chhota Kailash, stands at an altitude of 6,191 meters, mirroring the grandeur of Mount Kailash in Tibet. Nearby, the mystical Om Parvat showcases a natural snow formation of the sacred “ॐ” symbol — a rare and divine spectacle.
This 8-day pilgrimage combines devotion, adventure, and Himalayan beauty, taking you through Dharchula, Gunji, Kutti, and the legendary Lipulekh Pass. It’s not just a trip — it’s an experience of faith, peace, and self-discovery. 🌄🕉️
