Om Parvat (or Adi Kailash, or Chhota Kailash, or Baba Kailash, or Jonglingkong) is an ancient holy Hindu Himalayan mountain peak at an altitude of 6191 m. It's part of the Himalayan Range lying in the Darchula district of western, Nepal near Sinla pass, similar to Mount Kailash in Tibet.

The snow deposition pattern gives the impression of 'AUM' (ॐ) written over it, which is a sacred Hindu Mantra or chant. Beautiful 'Parvati lake' and 'Jonglingkong lake' are situated near Om Parvat. The Jonglingkong lake is sacred like Mansarovar to the Hindus.


The opposite to this peak there is a mountain called Parwati Muhar, and snow over it shines like crown in sunlight. This peak was climbed for the first time by an Indo-British team including Martin Moran, T. Rankin, M. Singh, S. Ward, A. Williams and R. Ausden. Climbers did not climb above 6,000 M, due to sacred nature of the peak!
