4.) Adi Kailash & OM Parvat Yatra

This pilgrimage can be best described as a trek to Adi Kailash peak, which is in Uttarakhand. This yatra is not for everyone and families with elderly people cannot do this yatra. This is because the yatra is just like a trek that goes through steep mountainous routes, and rocky terrain. You will need mountaineering gear and special boots to do this yatra trek. Adi Kailash is a high mountain peak, which is forever covered with snow and is located at an altitude of 5945 meters. The route is generally open during the end of June and the yatra concludes during the first week of November.

The Yatra takes place as a circuit where tourists and trekkers do a trek of Adi Kailash and Om Parvat during the same yatra. Om Parvat is also a mountain peak located close to Adi Kailash. Though both these peaks are not the same, people have this misconception that both of them are the name of the same mountain.

Adi Kailash is one of the Panch Kailash peaks and Om Parvat is located close to Lipulekh Pass near the Indo-China border in Uttarakhand. These are sacred mountain peaks. Om Parvat is known for its beautiful views and the special attraction is the Om symbol which is formed by natural ice.

Adi Kailash Yatra opening date

Registrations for Adi Kailash Om Parvat start from April or May. According to recent estimates, Adi Kailash Yatra will start in June and end in September.
