Pithoragarh · Gunji · Adi Kailash · Om Parvat
Adi Kailash — Chhota Kailash — rises in the remote Kumaon Himalayas and is held to be as sacred as Mount Kailash in Tibet. On the same route waits Om Parvat, where snow settles into a perfect natural "OM" on the mountain face, a sight that genuinely leaves people speechless. We arrange the Inner Line Permit and every other detail so this once-in-a-lifetime journey from Dehradun runs smoothly.
