Overview

Why travel to Adi Kailash & Aum Parvat

Far less crowded than the main Kailash Mansarovar route, the Adi Kailash & Aum Parvat yatra takes pilgrims through Kumaon's remote Himalayan valleys to a peak considered a sacred stand-in for Mount Kailash, and to Aum Parvat, whose snow naturally forms the sacred 'Om' symbol on its face.

Trip Highlights

Darshan of Adi Kailash — the 'Chhota Kailash'
View of Aum Parvat's natural Om-shaped snow pattern
Parvati Sarovar & Gauri Kund en route
Remote Kumaon Himalayan valleys, far from the usual crowds
