Package Overview
The Adi Kailash Yatra from Dharchula is a shorter version of the pilgrimage, as Dharchula serves as the main base for restricted area permits and onward travel. Adi Kailash, also called Chhota Kailash, is revered as the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Pilgrims also visit Om Parvat, where snow naturally forms the sacred 鈥淥m鈥 symbol, and Parvati Sarovar, a holy lake near Adi Kailash. The journey blends devotion, Himalayan landscapes, and cultural experiences in remote Kumaon villages.
