History
Of Adi
Kailash | |
 To see the greatness of a
mountain, one must keep one's distance; to understand
its form, one must move around it; to experience its
moods, one must see it at sunrise and sunset, at noon
and at mid-night, in sun and in rain in all other
season, He who can see the mountain like this, comes
near to the life of the mountain a life that is as
intense and varied as that of a human being."
Mt.
Adi-Kailash - popularly known as Chhota-Kailash, is in
indian territory, close to the Indian tibetan border. It
is an area of great natural beauty, peace and
sovereignty. Men and women, tired by the incessant roar
of urban life, will find here a healing quietude
conducive to liking inward and discouraging with one's
innerself.
 During Adi-Kailash
Yatra, you will come across the mighty splendour of the
snow peaks of Annapurna, the gushing Kali river, thick
Forest, Narayan Ashram full of wild flowers and rare
variation of fruits and number of water falls.
At
the very foot of Mt. Kailash is Gauri Kund, whose water
reflect the mountain itself. The local folk, called
Bhotias, have much to say about there land. The villege
Kutti, is named after Kunti, the mother of Pandavas. The
great saga vyas lived here for a long time and wrote
many books. The bhotias have preserved their heritage
assiduously and are always ready to show glimpses ot it
through their dance and music.
