Located in the sacred Vyas Valley, Uttarakhand, near the Indo-Tibetan border, Adi Kailash is considered the Indian counterpart of Mount Kailash in Tibet. The yatra offers divine darshan of Adi Kailash Parvat along with visits to Parvati Sarovar, Gaurikund, and the Shiva-Parvati Temple. Surrounded by snow-covered Himalayan peaks, this destination provides a rare opportunity for meditation, spiritual awakening, and high-altitude pilgrimage within India.
Om Parvat, situated near the historic Lipulekh Pass, is famous for the naturally formed “?” symbol visible on the mountain face due to snow deposition. This sacred Himalayan peak attracts devotees and trekkers alike for its unique spiritual significance. The journey also includes a visit to Kalapani, Kali Mandir, and the origin region of the Kali River.
The untouched Darma Valley is known for its lush alpine meadows, traditional Himalayan villages, and breathtaking views of the Panchachuli Peaks. This scenic valley offers a peaceful trekking experience, showcasing raw Himalayan beauty, glacier-fed rivers, and authentic mountain culture.
Together, this yatra combines spirituality, adventure, trekking, and high-altitude Himalayan landscapes — making it one of the best pilgrimage and trekking circuits in Uttarakhand.
