About Gaumukh Tapovan Trek

Being a source of the Bhagirathi River, the River Gaumukh is considered as the true source of the River Ganga. A trek of 18 kms from Gangotri takes you to Gaumukh, the surreal and peaceful area that provides the panoramic views of Bhagirathi peaks.

Tapovan 4300 meters is situated beyond Gaumukh and consists of the magnificent meadows situated at the foot of mount Shivling. The trekking trail is usually gentle, but gets perilously steep at places. The trek is a combined experience of trekking, bouldering, rock climbing and glacier traversing.

On reaching Tapovan, you get to see the mesmerising view of the beautiful snow capped peaks swathed in sunlight. Another attraction of this trekking trail is the sight of Akash Ganga, the actual river Ganga that flows from the Jata of Lord Shiva according to popular belief, bathing the Shiva Linga. The surrounding beauty and tranquility of Tapovan will mesmerize, ease and calm your mind.

Best season: May - October
Duration: 11 Days
Altitude: 4450 m

Trekking was awesome here in Gangotri. This trek is worthy only when it is combined with various other travel plans like Rishikesh, and the rest as the travel from Bangalore to here was costly. We took this and one more travel pack in Rishikesh. If planned well, this trek is totally worth every penny. Planning well is the key here. It was indeed a nice and a memorable trip for us.

Gangotri Trek To The Source of Ganga is an amazing and out of the world experience. As a traveller, Gangotri trek is something that I always wanted to take. It is a really tough trek and it is even considered as a milestone of the trekking history by many. That being said, it is definitely an enjoyable and amazing trek to take. Trekking Gangotri was something that gives you fun, spirituality, and inner peace. The place is so unadulterated, calm, and peaceful that it is so divine and poignant. I had a really wonderful and memorable time with this trek.

This trek was definitely a good one. I am not sure if this trek was awesome or not, but it is totally worth the time and money. It was a tedious trek, but it was a memorable experience. I had a great time here. We went along with Delhi Trekkers Club and it was a memorable experience. Most of the fellow trekkers were experienced and it was nice to have them to guide and help around. Also, the trek was quite tedious, so we had to take breaks and camp in between and the organization of these intervals were good and nicely planned.

We had an awesome trek at this place. I was wanting to take this trek for few months now, but it kept on being postponed. Finally, I did happen to go here for a second honeymoon with my wife. I am happy about my decision.

I recently took this Gangotri Trek To The Source of Ganga after reading reviews on this site. This trek was not that a great experience. It was just about average and fine. I was expecting a great trek experience. That being said, the climate played a huge spoil sport too.

The Gangotri Trek was sheer brilliance. It was very much enjoyable and interesting. We had a fabulous time during the journey. The weather was good and supportive. The trekking was quite difficult though. Even for us who were into trekking for months now, it was quite tough. Of course there were few pro trekkers who did do this trek with ease and they gave a lot of tips and shared their tricks for a comfortable and safe trekking experience. That is probably the best thing about going to trek as a gang of trekkers; people care and share. I enjoyed the experience. I am so glad.

The trekking was good and nice. The trek is of moderate level of difficulty. It was interesting and fun. The trick here is to do a lot of strength training for weeks before the actual trek. This way you will be charged and prepared for all the stress ahead.

Gangotri Trek is an amazing and enticing trek to every trekker. While I started trekking, I had a sole goal in my mind: to trek Gangotri trek. Now that after 5 years of trekking in various spots, we have finally reached our dream. It was a really nice experience. I am surely going there again soon.

I am so out of words to say how great this trek is. I had a great time here. It was a lovely experience. I was very interested with this trek. My wife and I took this. We both are adventure freaks and even for our honeymoon we trekked in Chikmagalur. This was something that we were hoping forward too, and it was a nice experience. I totally loved it.
