 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.
