Overview: Adi Kailash & Om Parvat Yatra 2026

Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash) is located in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand along the Indo-Tibetan border. Known as the spiritual twin of Mount Kailash, it allows Hindu yatris to witness both the revered Shiva abode reflected in Parvati Sarovar and the naturally formed snow "ॐ" at Om Parvat (Nabidhang) without entering Tibet.

The journey commences from Kathgodam/Delhi, ascending through Almora, Dharchula, and Gunji. Following recent road expansions by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), 4x4 vehicles reach Jolingkong and Nabidhang directly, eliminating multi-day treks.
