About the trip
The Adi Kailash Trek, also known as Chhota Kailash, is a sacred journey through the remote Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand. Located near the Indo-Tibet border, this trek is deeply connected with Hindu mythology. This is believed to be one of Lord Shiva’s earthly abodes. Unlike high-altitude trekking routes that demand intense physical effort, the Adi Kailash Trek focuses more on spiritual exploration, scenic road journeys, and light walking trails. Along the way, travellers witness powerful religious sites such as Om Parvat, Parvati Kund, Gauri Kund, and Jolingkong, surrounded by dramatic Himalayan landscapes. This journey is ideal for pilgrims, nature lovers, and first-time high-altitude travellers who want to experience the Himalayas in a calm and meaningful way.
