Adi Kailash Yatra is a spiritual and adventure journey to Adi Kailash, also known as “Chhota Kailash,” located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand near the Indo-Tibet border. It is considered one of the most sacred Himalayan destinations and holds deep significance in Hindu mythology, associated with Lord Shiva.

Unlike Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet, Adi Kailash is accessible within India and offers a similar divine experience combined with raw Himalayan landscapes.

Adi Kailash is located in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, close to the Indo-China border. The journey typically starts from Dharchula, a small border town that acts as the base for the Yatra.

The region is remote, culturally rich, and surrounded by high Himalayan peaks.

Adi Kailash is called Chhota Kailash because it closely resembles Mount Kailash in Tibet, both visually and spiritually. Many devotees consider it a divine alternative for those unable to visit Kailash Mansarovar.

The most common route is:

Delhi → Kathgodam → Pithoragarh → Dharchula → Gunji → Nabidhang → Adi Kailash
