Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Adi Kailash & Om Parvat Yatra, our Himalayan treks, permits, and bookings.

Do I need a permit for the Adi Kailash & Om Parvat Yatra?
Yes. The route passes through a restricted border area, so an Inner Line Permit is mandatory for the Dharchula–Gunji–Lipulekh region. 5 Peaks Expedition arranges all required permits for you as part of the package — you just need to share your ID documents in advance.
What documents are required for the yatra?
Indian nationals need a government photo ID (Aadhaar/passport/voter ID), passport-size photographs, and a medical fitness certificate. We share the exact checklist and collect documents when you book, so permits are ready before departure.
What is the best time for the Adi Kailash & Om Parvat Yatra?
The yatra season runs in two windows: May–June and September–October. September onwards is especially good — post-monsoon skies are clearest for Om Parvat and Kailash viewpoint darshan. Our fixed departures start 15th September.
How fit do I need to be? Is the yatra difficult?
This is a vehicle-supported yatra, not a trekking expedition — most of the journey is by 4x4 SUV (Mahindra Scorpio/Bolero) with short walks at key points. Reasonable general fitness is enough, but the route reaches high altitude, so we build in acclimatization and recommend a doctor's check-up if you have heart, BP, or respiratory conditions.
What altitude does the yatra reach?
The route climbs to roughly 17,000+ ft near Om Parvat and the Lipulekh Kailash viewpoint. We pace the itinerary for gradual ascent, and our local team monitors everyone for altitude comfort throughout.
What is included in the package?
Our packages are all-inclusive: 4x4 transport, hotel/homestay accommodation, meals, all permits, and experienced local guides from the Kumaon region. Exact inclusions are listed on each tour page.
Can I customise the itinerary or travel dates?
Yes. Alongside fixed departures we run custom private tours for families and groups — call us on 8920540941 and we'll plan dates, vehicle, and route around your needs.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel; full details are on our cancellation policy page. Note that permits, once issued, are non-refundable as they are name-specific.
How do I book a seat?
Book directly through 5peaks.in, or call/WhatsApp us on 8920540941. A seat is confirmed on advance payment, after which we begin your permit processing.
