Gaumukh Tapovan Trek

A Journey to the Source of River Ganga

The Gaumukh Tapovan trek offers a unique experience unlike any other. It leads you to the ultimate source of the River Ganga, a site of profound spiritual and natural importance. This trek presents an unmatched combination of adventure, stunning scenery, and the opportunity to be at the birthplace of one of the most venerated rivers globally.

The Gaumukh Tapovan journey commences at the base in Gangotri, a vibrant town frequented by pilgrims. The path subsequently meanders through the core of the Gangotri National Park. This trek transcends the mere act of arriving at a location. It offers a profound connection with nature that is both humbling and uplifting.

It is an expedition through thick woodlands, expansive glaciers, and elevated meadows. These paths guide you to Gaumukh, the source of the Bhagirathi River, and subsequently to the breathtaking landscape of Tapovan. Majestic mountains encircle you at every bend during the Gaumukh Tapovan trek. At the Tapovan campsite, the flawless silhouette of Mt Shivling is visible from its base to its peak. The Bhagirathi sisters create a magnificent massif. Experiencing the golden shades of sunset over the Bhagirathi massif is a memory that lasts a lifetime.
