Gangotri Tapovan Trek
The Gangotri Tapovan Trek is a popular trekking route in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, located in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas. This trek takes you to the source of the holy river Ganga (Ganges) and offers breathtaking views of some of the most majestic peaks in the region, including Shivling and Bhagirathi group of peaks.
Gaumukh: Around 4 km from Bhojbasa, Gaumukh is the “Cow’s Mouth,” which is considered the source of the Ganga River. It’s a glacial terminus and a significant pilgrimage site.
Tapovan: Continuing from Gaumukh for about 6 km, you’ll reach Tapovan. This high-altitude alpine meadow offers stunning views of the Shivling Peak and the Bhagirathi peaks. Tapovan is not only a beautiful place but also holds spiritual significance for many trekkers and pilgrims.
