Adi Kailash Trek Overview

Lord Shiva is believed to reside at Mount Kailash. The Adi Kailash Trek, located on the Indian Tibetan Border, is known as the starting point of the magnificent Kailash pilgrimage. “Adi” means “beginning, unequaled”. Adi Kailash is the place where your spirit encounters the essence of the “Adi Yogi – Shiva”. The radiance of energy and beauty of bountiful Mother Nature has attracted tourists from all over the world for decades. Talking in terms of Spirituality this trek will surely take you on an inward journey with its serenity and nurturing environs crossing through Dharma, Byans, and Chaudans Valley. The valleys promise breathtaking cascades of waterfalls, thick wooded forests, and innumerable variety of flora from the Himalayan ranges.

The base of Mount Adi Kailash also known as Chota Kailash, is home to two water bodies namely Gauri Kund and Parvati Sarovar. Gauri is another name of Lord Shiva’s wife- Parvati. It would be appropriate to designate Parvati Sarovar as “Chota Mansarovar” as it is smaller than the Mansarovar Lake. Pilgrims also built a Temple dedicated to Shiva-Parvati on the banks of Parvati Sarovar.
