    The Gaumukh glacier is the source of Bhagirathi and is revered by the devout, who do not miss the opportunity to take a holy bath in the bone biting ice water. Gaumukh is the location where Ganga water flows down from the glaciers. The sages named it 'Gaumukh' because it resembled a cow's mouth in the ancient past. Tapovan is a wonderful destination for those seeking both tranquilly and adventure. Tapovan is 4,463 metres / 14,640 feet above sea level. Tapovan is famous for its magnificent meadows that ring the Shivling summit base camp. It's full with bubbling streams, wildflowers, and campgrounds. Herds of Bharal (blue mountain goats) are a familiar sight from here.

    • Day 1:- Dehradun to Gangnani/Gangotri drive
      7/8 hoursโ€™ drive 190/242 km
      From Dehradun we drive to Gangnani via Uttarkashi. Gangnani is known for the natural hot water spring baths it has. We can also drive till Gangotri on this day itself. We stay at a guesthouse overnight.
    • Day 2:- Gangotri (3,048 m) to Chirbasa (3,600 m)
      6 hours trek 9 km
      On this day, we start our trek from Gangotri to Chirbasa (3,650 m). From Gangotri we move along the beaten trail towards Chirbasa, which is on tree line. The entire trek today is along the roaring Bhagirathi River.
    • Day 3:- Bhagirathi peaks as seen from Chirbasa
      Chirbasa to Bhojbasa (3,800 m)
      3 hours 5 km
      Beyond Chirbasa the terrain becomes really desolate and barren. In fact, it has been referred to as Arctic Tundra by many trekkers. From Chirbasa we trek further to Bhojwassa, the entire trail passes through dense forest. In Bhojbasa there is a small temple and a potential campsite near the river. In afternoon we are free to explore the area and to enjoy excellent sunset on Bhagirathi group of peaks.

    ย  ย  ย  ย  ย The trek from Gaumukh to Tapovan has steep ascent, and as we climb, the view of the surrounding peaks becomes clearer. They appear to be just a stoneโ€™s throwย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย away. It is also a little wonder why Sadhus and saints choose this spot for extended meditation during the long summer months.

    • Day 5:- Tapovan (4,463 m) rest day
      This day is free for us to acclimatize, relax and enjoy the magnificent snow-capped peaks, flora, fauna, and mountain landscape.

A little towards the left of Shivling, is Sumeru. The Bhagirathi peaks are visible further to the left. Bhagirathi III, Meru (Central Peak) and Sumeru have some of the hardest climbing routes in the world. We can visit the Meru Glacier and return to our campsite.
