Dosto,

Here is the mythologial story behind Om Parvat.

Regards,

M S Mehta

some spiritual as well as adventure flavour.

According to the Hindu mythology, creator of the world Lord Shiva resides on Mount Kailash. Hindus belive there are three Kailash mountain in the world, Kailash manasasarovar or the Greater /Bada Kailash which is in Tibet, Adi Kailash or the Chota Kailasha in Uttaranchal and Kinnaur Kailash in Himachal Pradesh. Government of India organises piligrimage tours to Greater Kailash in association with the China government. Adi Kailash lies on the route to Greater Kailash near the Sino-Indo border. Majority of the trek is along the Kali river, which is natural India-Nepal border. Om Parvat marks the tri-junction point, point where borders of Tibet, Nepal and India meet.

Wah Mehta ji +1 karma aapke liye aap to information ki khaan le ke aa rahe ho.

Om Parvat (also Adi Kailash, Little Kailash, Jonglingkong Peak, Baba Kailash, Chhota Kailash) is an ancient holy Hindu mountain in the Himalayan mountain range, lying in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India, near Sinla pass. Its appearance is distinctly similar to Mount Kailash in Tibet. In addition, its snow deposition pattern gives the impression of the Hindu sacred syllable 'AUM' (ॐ) written on it. Near Om Parvat lie beautiful Parvati Lake and Jonglingkong Lake. Jonglingkong Lake is sacred, like Mansarovar, to the Hindus. Opposite to this peak is a mountain called Parwati Muhar, whose snow shines like a crown in the sun.

This peak was attempted for the first time by an Indo-British team including Martin Moran, T. Rankin, M. Singh, S. Ward, A. Williams and R. Ausden. The climbers promised not to ascend the final 10 m (30 ft) out of respect for the peak's holy status. However, they were stopped around 200 m (660 ft) short of the summit by very loose snow and rock conditions.

The first ascent of Adi Kailash came on October 8, 2004. The team comprised Tim Woodward, Jack Pearse, Andy Perkins (UK); Jason Hubert, Martin Welch, Diarmid Hearns, Amanda George (Scotland); and Paul Zuchowski (USA). They did not ascent the final few metres, again out of respect for the sacred nature of the summit.

Om Parvat can be viewed enroute to the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra from the last camp below Lipu Lekh pass at Nabhidhang. Many trekkers to Adi Kailash often make a diversion to view Om Parvat.
