Adi Kailash Explore: The Kailash you can
reach without a visa

4 to 6 days, depending on where you start: 4 days from Pithoragarh, 5 days from Haldwani and 6 days from Delhi. Every one of them reaches Jolingkong for Adi Kailash, Nabhidhang for Om Parvat and Lipulekh for the view of Mount Kailash, with the Inner Line Permit done on the way up.

Not physically, for most travellers: it is driven, with short walks at Jolingkong and Parvati Sarovar, and the highest night is at Gunji, 3,200 m. What it asks of you is altitude, and the plan is built around that: a gradual climb, an acclimatisation day and oxygen in the vehicles. If you have a heart or lung condition, tell us first.

No. Adi Kailash and Om Parvat are both inside India, in Pithoragarh district. You need an Inner Line Permit, applied for online on the district portal, which we arrange for you. Bring a government photo ID and passport-size photographs; the portal also lists a medical fitness certificate and a self-declaration affidavit.

Transport for the full route, hotel and homestay accommodation, breakfast and dinner, a government-certified guide, Inner Line Permit assistance, and all driver allowance, toll and parking. Lunch and personal expenses are not included.

For most, yes. The circuit is driven rather than trekked, and the highest nights are at Gunji or Nabi, 3,200 to about 3,290 m. We build in an acclimatisation day and carry oxygen. Tell us first about any heart, lung or blood-pressure condition, and we will tell you honestly if we have concerns.

The Gunji road is weather-dependent and the authorities can close it at short notice. If a leg is cut, we reroute to the alternatives in the same valley and tell you the moment we know. We do not charge for the days we cannot run.

Cancellation terms depend on how close to departure you are and on what has already been committed for permits and stays. We set those out in writing before you pay anything, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.
