Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash), located in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, is a sacred mountain revered as the earthly replica of Mount Kailash. Surrounded by snow-clad peaks, lush valleys, and pristine rivers, Adi Kailash holds deep spiritual significance for Hindu pilgrims. It is closely associated with Lord Shiva and offers a tranquil environment for meditation and devotion.
Lipulekh Pass, at an altitude of 5,334 meters (17,500 feet), serves as a historic Himalayan trade route connecting India and Tibet. It is also a crucial passage for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, offering breathtaking views of Mount Kailash and the Tibetan Plateau. The trek to Lipulekh is both a spiritual and adventurous journey, traversing rugged terrains, ancient monasteries, and scenic landscapes.
