Overview
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime Adi Kailash and Om Parvat Bike Tour, a thrilling spiritual expedition through the breathtaking Himalayan landscapes of Uttarakhand. This epic motorbiking adventure takes you close to the Indo-Nepal-Tibet border, where you’ll witness the sacred Om Parvat, renowned for its naturally formed ‘ॐ’ symbol etched in snow — a divine phenomenon revered by pilgrims.
Riding towards Adi Kailash, often referred to as the ‘Chhota Kailash,’ you’ll traverse challenging high-altitude terrain, cross Dharchula, and experience the raw spiritual energy of the mighty Himalayas. This tour combines adventure, culture, and divinity, making it ideal for both spiritual seekers and biking enthusiasts.
Standing tall at 5,590 meters, Om Parvat is part of the sacred Kailash trilogy, alongside Mount Kailash and Adi Kailash. The best time for this motorbike tour is from May to October when the terrain is accessible and the ‘Om’ formation is clearly visible.
