Tour Overview

Embark on the divine Adi Kailash Yatra, located in the Pithoragarh District of Uttarakhand, India. Revered as Chhota Kailash, Adi Kailash closely resembles Mount Kailash in Tibet and forms a core part of the Panch Kailash circuit. This 8-day high-altitude overland expedition takes pilgrims through the breathtaking Kumaon Himalayas to worship Adi Kailash peak, holy Parvati Sarovar Lake, and the miraculous Om Parvat.

Starting from Kathgodam, travel through Dharchula along the roaring Kali River gorge via 4x4 mountain vehicles into high-altitude border villages like Gunji and Nabi. From Jolingkong base, walk to the serene waters of Parvati Sarovar and Gauri Kund at the base of Adi Kailash peak.

The tour also includes an excursion to Nabhi Dhang for an awe-inspiring view of Om Parvat, where snow naturally deposits in the shape of the sacred 'OM' symbol on the mountain face.

Featuring 4x4 vehicle transportation, Inner Line Permit assistance, home-stay accommodations in high villages, delicious meals, and local escorts, this tour offers a deeply sacred journey through Uttarakhand's borderlands.
