📖 About the Yatra

Adi Kailash & Om Parvat are not just destinations; they are a spiritual calling. This sacred yatra takes you through the pristine landscapes of the Himalayas, offering divine darshan of Om Parvat, where nature itself has inscribed ‘ॐ’ on the mountain. Witness the mystical beauty of Adi Kailash, often regarded as the ‘Chhota Kailash’—a reflection of Mount Kailash in Tibet.

🚩 A Sacred Journey to the Abode of Lord Shiva

Adi Kailash, also known as Chhota Kailash, is one of the most spiritually significant peaks in the Himalayas. Along with Om Parvat, where nature has miraculously formed a divine “ॐ” symbol on the mountain, this pilgrimage offers a blend of adventure, devotion, and breathtaking landscapes.
