The 'Chhota Kailash' — a deeply spiritual high-Himalayan journey in Kumaon to the abode of Shiva at Adi Kailash and the miraculous natural 'Om' etched in snow on Om Parvat.
For those who cannot do Kailash Mansarovar, Adi Kailash offers the same darshan on Indian soil.
Deep in Kumaon near the Tibet border, this journey reaches the sacred Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash), Parvati Sarovar, and the astonishing Om Parvat — where the sacred syllable 'Om' appears naturally in snow on the mountain face. A trek that is, in truth, a yatra.
Drive deep into Kumaon over two days, gaining altitude gradually.
Continue to Gunji, the high base. Acclimatisation — essential at this altitude.
Journey to Jolingkong; darshan of Adi Kailash and Parvati Sarovar.
Darshan of the natural 'Om' on Om Parvat near Nabhidhang.
Return journey to Kathgodam with rest stops.

Adi Kailash is increasingly chosen by those who want the Kailash darshan without leaving India. It is high-altitude and needs acclimatisation and an inner-line permit, both of which we handle. Routes depend on prevailing regulations near the border.
