Ride a Royal Enfield to Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash), witness the divine Om Parvat, and ascend to Lipulekh Pass. A 9-day journey that connects adventure and spirituality deep inside the Kumaon Himalayas.
Adi Kailash - also lovingly called Chhota Kailash - is a sacred mountain in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. It sits deep in the Kumaon Himalayas, very close to the India-China-Nepal trisection border. For centuries, it has been worshipped as an earthly abode of Lord Shiva, similar in spiritual importance to Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet.
At the base of Adi Kailash sits a beautiful temple called Shivalaya and a sacred lake called Parvati Sarovar. Devotees believe a dip in Parvati Sarovar gives the same spiritual merit as visiting the main Kailash Mansarovar. The mountain's peak glows golden in the early morning light - a view that takes your breath away.
On the same journey, you also witness Om Parvat - where the snow on the mountain naturally forms the sacred OM (ॐ) symbol. Scientists and pilgrims alike have confirmed this remarkable natural formation. It is one of the most awe-inspiring sights in all of India.

Tour at a Glance
Route Map
Reach Rishikesh and check into your hotel. In the evening, visit the famous Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan Ghat - a beautiful welcome to your Himalayan yatra. After dinner, our tour leader gives a full briefing about the ride ahead - route, rules, bike tips, and safety guidelines.
Start your ride after breakfast. Today you pass through one of the most important Shiva temple complexes in India - Jageshwar Dham near Almora, where over 100 ancient temples stand in a thick deodar forest. Arrive at Gwaldam for the night - a quiet hilltop town with beautiful views of Trisul and Nanda Devi peaks.
Today is the day you truly enter the Kumaon Himalayas. Ride through thick deodar forests to reach Munsiyari - the base camp for Panchachuli Peaks. En route, stop at the stunning Birthi Waterfall. From Munsiyari, on a clear morning, the five peaks of Panchachuli look absolutely majestic. This is one of the most scenic riding days of the tour.
This is the day the adventure truly begins. Ride down to Dharchula - a lively border town on the Kali River, just across from Nepal. Then start the climb into the Vyas Valley on increasingly narrow, off-road mountain paths toward Nabi/Gunji Village. The altitude rises sharply today. You start feeling the mountains close around you.
This is the moment you have been waiting for. Wake up early, ride through Kuti Village passing 2 Inner Line permit checkpoints. The road leads you to the base of Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash) - the sacred mountain of Lord Shiva. From here, a 3 km trek takes you to Parvati Sarovar, the holy lake at the foot of the divine peak. The views here are beyond description. Return to Nabi for the night.
The second star day of the tour. Early morning ride from Nabi Village toward Om Parvat - at 6,191 meters, its snow-covered slopes form the sacred OM (ॐ) symbol. The sight fills every visitor with a deep sense of awe. Then you attempt the Lipulekh Pass at 5,334 meters - the ancient trade route to Tibet - subject to Indian Army permission (which Wander Sky handles). The views from this height are simply unforgettable. Return down to Dharchula for the night.
The high altitude adventure is done - now ride on smooth tarmac roads back toward civilization. Pass through Pithoragarh, the beautiful district headquarters with its own magnificent fort. Stop at Jageshwar Dham again (from the other side this time) and arrive at the artistic hilltop village of Kasar Devi near Almora - famous for its magnetic vortex energy and stunning Himalayan panorama.
Wake up early for a stunning sunrise view of Nanda Devi peak from Kasar Devi - the highest peak in India at 7,816 meters. Then start the long ride back to Rishikesh through Haldwani on the plains highway. Short tea breaks on the way. Arrive Rishikesh by evening, check into hotel, and celebrate the completion of your Himalayan yatra over dinner with your fellow riders.
Breakfast at the hotel. Check out. Your 9-day Adi Kailash yatra is complete. This is the moment to sit quietly, look back at the mountains you have just ridden through, and feel the transformation inside you. You rode to the sacred abode of Lord Shiva, witnessed the divine OM in snow, and climbed to the ancient Tibet gateway. No journey quite like this one exists anywhere in India.

Every question you have before booking the Adi Kailash yatra - answered.
Adi Kailash, also known as Chhota Kailash, is a sacred mountain in Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, located in the Kumaon Himalayas near the India-China-Nepal trisection border. It is revered as the earthly abode of Lord Shiva, similar to Kailash Mansarovar. The mountain stands at approximately 4,500 meters altitude and has a Shivalaya temple and Parvati Sarovar (sacred lake) at its base.
Wander Sky's Adi Kailash tour package 2026 is ₹45,000 per rider (triple sharing). This includes Royal Enfield Himalayan 450cc bike, hotel accommodation, all meals (breakfast and dinner), bike fuel for the entire 1,400 km route, inner line permits, luggage vehicle, mechanical support, and a dedicated tour marshal. Double sharing upgrade is available at ₹49,000.
The best time for Adi Kailash yatra is September to October. Weather is ideal, roads are open, and Om Parvat snow formations are clearly visible. May to June is also possible before the monsoon. Roads remain closed November to March due to heavy snowfall. Wander Sky runs 13 tour batches during September-October 2026.
The Adi Kailash trek is approximately 14 km return from Nabi/Gunji Village to the temple base. An additional 3 km hike reaches Parvati Sarovar. The full 9-day bike tour covers approximately 1,400 km. Trek difficulty is moderate and requires basic fitness. Steep sections are manageable with reasonable preparation.
Yes, an Inner Line Permit is mandatory for Adi Kailash as the area is close to the India-China-Nepal trisection border. Wander Sky arranges all permits within the package price at no extra charge. There are 2 permit checkpoints at Dharchula and Kuti Village. Army permission for Lipulekh Pass is also coordinated by Wander Sky.
Om Parvat is a 6,191-meter sacred mountain in Pithoragarh near the Nepal border. Its snow-covered slopes naturally form the sacred OM (ॐ) symbol - a divine natural phenomenon. The darshan is from the Lipulekh Pass road. Best visibility is in September-October when fresh snow contrasts against clear skies.
The Adi Kailash tour is best suited for experienced riders with at least 2-3 years of riding experience. The route includes high-altitude roads above 3,400 meters, off-road sections in the Vyas Valley near Dharchula, and challenging Himalayan terrain. Beginners are advised to first complete shorter tours like the Harshil Valley 4-day tour before attempting Adi Kailash.
Kailash Mansarovar is in Tibet, China, requiring a visa and complex permits that make it expensive and difficult to access. Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash) is in Uttarakhand, India, accessible with an Inner Line Permit. Both are revered as the abode of Lord Shiva. Adi Kailash has a Shivalaya temple and Parvati Sarovar that mirror the spiritual elements of Kailash Mansarovar.
