Om Parvat, Mountain peak in Pithoragarh district, India.

The 6191-meter Om Parvat rises between India and Nepal, displaying natural snow patterns that form the Sanskrit symbol Om on its southern face.

The first complete climbing expedition reached near the summit in 2004, with the team stopping meters short to maintain the mountain's sacred status.

Hindu communities consider the mountain a manifestation of divine presence due to its natural Om formation visible through snow accumulation patterns.

Access to Om Parvat requires permits and starts from Munsiyari, with necessary stops for altitude adjustment during the multi-day trek through Kumaon.

The mountain surface splits between two countries, with 74 percent in Nepal and 26 percent in India, creating an ongoing border discussion.
