This is the mountain at the base of which I learnt what I am and what the world is. Aadi Kailash is a peak in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, INDIA in the Himalayas. At 6191 m altitude above mean sea level, this range divides the Dhauliganga and Kuti Yangte river watersheds. The best view of this peak is available from a place called Jolingkong, an alpine meadow at 4200m. To reach this place, one has to walk for 7 days from the last motor road head. Standing at the base of this huge mountain makes you realise that you are not even an ant in front of this massif.
