Adi Kailash is considered a replica of Mount Kailash, hence Adi Kailash is popularly known by the name Chota Kailash.

Both Adi Kailash and Om Parvat are considered sacred pilgrimage sites of Hinduism. Adi Kailash, also known as Baba Kailash is the Second Dham of the Panch Kailash. It is the home of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati along with their children Ganpati Ji and Kartikeya Ji. It is said that the darshan of Adi Kailash can make your inner self enlightened and the cosmic energy prevalent here can transform the person with negative thoughts into a positive thinking approach. Om Parvat or Mount Om is the only mountain among such eight mountain ranges in India that has been discovered. This ancient holy mountain has a magic of its kind along with a strong religious connection as the snow falling on the mountain takes the shape of OM ? - the holy symbol of Hindus.

Adi Kailash stands tall at a height of 5945 meters above sea level on the Indo-Tibet border with the last village of India, Kuti. Om Parvat stands at the height of 5543 meters above sea level on the Indo-Nepal border. The highest altitude on the Adi Kailash & Om Parvat Yatra that people go on is Parvati Sarovar which is 4501 meters above sea level..

According to the Puranas, Adi Kailash has great importance as it was the main stoppage of Lord Shiva’s marriage with Mata Parvati, which originated from Kailash Parvat Mansarovar. It is said that the demon king Ravana who was one of the most fierce devotees of Lord Shiva meditated here for a very long period and later was blessed with immense power, strength, and 10 heads. Not only Ravana but as history says the Pandava Brothers and the Sage Vyas also meditated here at Adi Kailash for a very long time.

The mystery or miracle in Om Parvat will take you closer to God and will remove all your illusions. The unbelievable impression of OM ? is the most fascinating characteristic of this peak which is naturally formed with the deposition of snow against the black background of the holy mountain.

No, it is not possible to climb Adi Kailash and Om Parvat. However one can climb up to Gauri Kund on Mount Adi Kailash at an elevation of 5180 meters above sea level.

It is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva has been meditating and it is considered to be the first stoppage of the Shiva Parvati Barat. On this yatra you will also be visiting firstly Chitai Golu Devta’s Temple which is popularly known as God of Justice, it is believed that in case you have an ongoing legal case and you make a wish in this temple your wish will be granted. Secondly, the Jageshwar temple is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva himself, Saptarishi, and Adi Shankaracharya did Tapasya here. Thirdly Patal Bhuvaneshwari wherein it is considered that taking a blessing here is equivalent to taking a blessing of Chota Chardham. It is said that Adi Kailash & Om Parvat yatra washes away the sins, thus restoring the Karma cycle. The cosmic energy that is prevalent here will make you feel transformed.
