The Sacred Vyas Valley Pilgrimage

The Adi Kailash and Om Parvat Yatra is one of the most sacred spiritual pilgrimages in the Indian Himalayas. Located in the remote Vyas Valley of Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, near the confluence of India, Nepal, and Tibet, this sacred circuit brings devotees to the earthly replica of Mt. Kailash at Jyolingkong (4,570m) and the divine snow "ॐ" of Om Parvat viewed from Nabidhang (4,246m).

As a direct ground operator headquartered in Pithoragarh, Rudraansh Yatra manages every detail locally: official Inner Line Permits (ILP) with SDM and ITBP clearances, robust 4x4 Mahindra Boleros driven by native valley drivers, warm Bhotiya tribal homestays, and portable medical oxygen backup for senior and family pilgrims.

The visit to Lipulekh Pass (Kailash Darshan) is planned on the same day as the Om Parvat excursion. However, Lipulekh Pass is a sensitive border area and the visit is strictly subject to permission from the Indian Army and border authorities.

If permission is not granted due to security restrictions, weather conditions, road status, or administrative reasons, the Lipulekh Pass visit may be skipped or postponed without prior notice.

Please note that an additional cost is applicable for the same-day Lipulekh Pass Kailash Darshan. This amount will be informed and payable on-site only, strictly after permission approval.

No claims or disputes shall be entertained for non-coverage of Lipulekh Pass due to circumstances beyond our control.
