Two ways into the Kumaon Himalaya

One is a pilgrimage the whole family can make; the other is a trek for the mountain-hungry. Plenty of groups do both in one trip.

Adi Kailash, the peak known as Chota Kailash, in the Kumaon Himalaya

Adi Kailash

The second of the Panch Kailash

Kailash, without leaving India

Adi Kailash — Chota Kailash to most who go — stands in the Vyas Valley of Kumaon, so close in shape to Mount Kailash in Tibet that pilgrims have treated it as its equal for centuries. It is the second of the Panch Kailash, and it asks nothing of you that Mansarovar does: no foreign visa, no month away, no fortune.

The road now runs almost the whole way. You will drive through the gorges past Malpa and Garbyang, sleep two nights in a Rung village at 3,200 metres, and walk barely a kilometre and a half in five days. What the mountain does ask for is patience with altitude, and a permit.

On the fourth morning you climb to Nabhidhang, and the snow on the far face of Om Parvat has arranged itself, as it does every season, into ॐ.

The reasons people make this journey

Not a list of stops — these are the places the yatra is built around.

Adi Kailash peak rising above the Vyas Valley in Kumaon, Uttarakhand

Adi Kailash at Jolingkong

The peak Hindus call Chota Kailash — the second of the Panch Kailash — seen from the Vyas Valley with a full unhurried day for darshan, puja and photography.

ॐ on Om Parvat

From Nabhidhang the snow settles into the shape of ॐ across the rock face. Alongside it: Parvati Mata's boat, Sheshnag and Pandav mountains.

Parvati Sarovar & Gauri Kund

Two sacred high-altitude waters beneath Adi Kailash, where devotees offer prayers before the peak.

Kalapani & Vyas Gufa

The Nepal footbridge

On permit day you are free to walk the international suspension bridge at Dharchula and shop the Nepali bazaar on the far bank.
