Adi Kailash Om Parvat Trek – Complete Guide, Itinerary, cost, and Best time to visit from Mumbai.
Adi Kailash Om Parvat Trek unveils a journey through mountains, rivers, and peaks merging with the sky, alongside meadows and glaciers, enticing adventure enthusiasts. This stretch of the Uttarakhand Himalayas uniquely beckons seekers of spiritual awakening, a tradition deeply rooted in human history since time immemorial.
Adi Kailash, also known as Chotta Kailash and one of the Panch Kailash, echoes the famed Mt. Kailash in Tibet. Nestled near the Indo-Tibetan border within Indian territory, it captivates with its natural splendor and serene ambiance, offering a sanctuary for introspection amidst the chaos of urban life.
At its foot lies Gauri Kund, a reflection of the mountain’s majesty, while nearby Parvati Sarovar, reminiscent of ‘Mansarovar,’ hosts a temple dedicated to Shiva and Parvati, fostering a profound sense of divine connection.
Nestled in Nabidhang along the course of the Kali River, Om Parvat stands as a miraculous spectacle. The eternal “Aum” symbol, sculpted in snow, symbolizes the primal sound, forever etched on the mountain, invoking the presence of Lord Shiva.
