आदि कैलाश - दूसरा पंच कैलाश
The Sacred Replica of Mount Kailash in the Indian Himalayas
What is Adi Kailash?
Adi Kailash, standing at 5,945 meters in Pithoragarh district, is the sacred mountain believed to be Lord Shiva's second home after Mount Kailash in Tibet.
Also known as Chhota Kailash or Baba Kailash, this divine peak is the second most important among the Panch Kailash (Five Kailashes) and holds immense religious significance for Hindu pilgrims.
The mountain's striking resemblance to Mount Kailash in Tibet makes it a popular alternative for devotees, especially after the Chinese occupation of Tibet made the original Kailash difficult to access.
