Experience the divine energy of the Himalayas as you embark on a spiritually transformative journey to Adi Kailash and Om Parvat , nestled in the sacred landscapes of Dharchula, Uttarakhand, at an awe-inspiring altitude of 6191 meters.
Recognized as one of the revered Panch Kailash, Adi Kailash is lovingly called ‘Chotai Kailash’ due to its striking resemblance to the majestic Mount Kailash in Tibet. This holy mountain is believed to be the ancient meditation ground of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, drawing thousands of seekers and pilgrims each year.
Nearby stands the mystical Om Parvat, where nature itself forms a miraculous ‘?’ (Om) symbol on the snow-covered face of the mountain — a sight that leaves every devotee in awe. According to legends, Ravana, the mighty king of Lanka and a devout Shiva bhakt, undertook a rigorous penance here to gain divine blessings.
This sacred route to Adi Kailash and Om Parvat via Lipu Pass is not just a pilgrimage — it’s a soul-stirring expedition into India’s spiritual heartland, where mythology, nature, and devotion converge.
