The Chief Minister said that the wonderful environment of Adi Kailash and Om Parvat, dedicated to Lord Shiva and located in the remote area of ​​the border district Pithoragarh, which is full of natural beauty, infuses devotion, power and infinite energy in the visitors’ mind.

The CM reminded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had come on a one-day visit to Pithoragarh district on 12 October last year and had also visited Adi Kailash and Parvati Sarovar after reaching Jyolingkong. Dhami insisted that PM Modi’s visit to Adi Kailash has given a new identity to Adi Kailash Dham at the international level and religious tourism in Manaskhand has gained new momentum here. There has been a huge increase in the number of tourists and pilgrims here. These days, up to one and half thousand tourists and pilgrims are reaching to visit Om Parvat, Adi Kailash and Parvati Sarovar every day.

Dhami claimed that with the increasing number of tourists and pilgrims, this border area of ​​Pithoragarh is rapidly moving towards becoming a big tourist destination in the next few years. This will also promote the all-round development of this area and local business.
