Adi Kailash Yatra from Haldwani
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Adi Kailash and Om Parvat, two of the most revered and mystical destinations in the Indian Himalayas. This spiritually uplifting journey begins from Haldwani or Kathgodam and takes you through ancient temples, sacred lakes, remote Himalayan villages, and breathtaking snow-covered peaks.
The Adi Kailash Yatra from Haldwani is especially popular among those seeking an offbeat spiritual alternative to the original Mount Kailash Yatra.
