Continue along the picturesque mountain roads passing Almora and Pithoragarh, following the Kali River into the border town of Dharchula. Evening briefing and initial document verification for your Inner Line Permit.

Board our rugged 4x4 mountain cruisers. Traverse the newly built Himalayan road hugging the Kali River through Malpa and Najang. Ascend the dramatic hairpins of Chialekh Pass (ITBP Permit checkpost) and emerge into the broad, flower-filled alpine plateau of Vyas Valley. Check-in to traditional Rung Bhotiya homestay for rest and acclimatization.

Early morning drive towards Jolingkong. Behold the majestic pyramid of Mount Adi Kailash (5,945 m) standing directly ahead.

Return to Gunji/Nabi by evening for hot sattvic dinner.

Depart at dawn for Nabhidhang. As the morning sun lights the black granite face of Mount Om Parvat (6,191 m), witness the miracle of snow naturally forming the sacred syllable 'ॐ'. On the return leg, visit the historic Kali Mata Temple at Kalapani, gaze at Sheshnag Parvat, and witness the underground natural spring source of the holy Kali River.

After breakfast and farewell to your village homestay hosts, descend back through Chialekh Pass and Najang gorges. Arrive in Dharchula by afternoon. Enjoy the evening strolling across the international suspension bridge over the Kali River into Darchula (Nepal) with simple security entry.

Drive through the charming green hills of Kumaon towards the ancient temple complex of Jageshwar Dham, nestled amidst towering Deodar cedar forests. Attend the serene evening Maha Aarti at the Jyotirlinga shrine.

Morning Rudrabhishek puja at Jageshwar Temple. Drive through Almora and Bhowali, arriving at Kathgodam Railway Station by 4:00 PM for your onward train journeys back home with eternal blessings of Mahadev.
