Om Parvat Peak

Om Parvat PeakOm Parvat is known by a variety of names, Adi Kailash, little Kailash, Jonglingkong peak, Baba Kailash and Chhota Kailash. This peak is an ancient sacred Hindu mountain which lies in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, which is located near the Sinla pass.

Om Parvat is somewhat similar to the Mount Kailash in Tibet. It is so called because the snow accumulation gives the appearance of the Hindu sacred syllable `aum` written on it. In the vicinity of the Om Parvat lie the beautiful Parvati Lake and the Jonglingkong Lake. The Jonglingkong Lake is as sacrosanct as the Mansarovar for the Hindus. Adjacent to the Om Parvat lies the mountain peak called Parwati Muhar where the snow glitters like a crown in the sun.
