Why book through us

A yatra arranged by the people who live on the route

We are a booking and coordination service. The yatra itself is run by independent operators from the Vyas Valley — the people whose roads these are.

  1. Run by locals of the valley

    Your yatra is fulfilled by independent local operators from Dharchula, Nabi and Gunji who know these roads and mountains. We arrange and coordinate your booking with them.

  2. Inner Line Permit handled

    Adi Kailash sits on the India–China border. We arrange your medical check and ILP paperwork at Dharchula so you never queue alone.

  3. Pure vegetarian, every meal

    Sattvic food from Day 1 dinner to Day 5 breakfast, cooked fresh — plus natural spring water on the trek and sweets after dinner.

  4. Small batches of 5 to 30

    Groups stay small enough that the jeeps, homestays and darshan timings never feel rushed.

The twelve villages of the Dhauliganga, from Dar to Sipu

Darma is the valley the Dhauliganga carves west of Vyas, and its villages — Dar, Sela, Nagling, Dugtu, Dantu, Go, Philam, Sipu — are lived in only through the summer. This is the full traverse: road where the road goes, foot where it stops, with the Panchachuli wall over your shoulder for most of a week.

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.
