Adi Kailash (Chhota Kailash) and Om Parvat are two revered spiritual destinations in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India. These sites hold immense significance for Hindus and are often considered alternatives for those unable to visit Mount Kailash in Tibet.

Om Parvat (6,191 m) is unique because of a natural snow formation resembling the sacred 'ॐ' symbol on the mountain. This is considered a miraculous and divine sight, attracting thousands of spiritual seekers every year. It is one of the only places on Earth where 'ॐ' appears naturally, reinforcing its mythological and religious importance.
