Start City: Gaumukh Tapovan Trek
Today you will be picked up from Dehradun and brought to Gangotri on the first day. Overnight accommodation is arranged at the hotel or camp.
Today is going to be an action day where you have to cover a total of 14 km of the trek. This will be done in two parts, first from Gangotri to Chirbasa (9 km), and second from Chirabasa to Bhojbasa (5 km). A packed lunch will be served after the first half of the trek. Reach Bhojbasa late in the evening and is the place where you stay for the night. Arrangement of accommodation in dome tents.
From Bhojbasa, Gaumukh is at a distance of 4 km. Clearing many unknown streams, you will reach the origin of the Ganges. It takes around 3 hours to reach Gomukh from Bhojbasa. After some rest and a short photo session, we will continue our journey towards Tapovan.
Gomukh to Tapovan is about a 5 km long moderate level trek. It is a rocky terrain where the climb is a bit steeper than the previous one. Upon reaching Tapovan, a grand view of the divine mountain Shivling, Mount Meru, Bhagirathi sisters, etc. is visible. The Mt. Shiving appears like just a hand distance from you. Here you can set up your tent to stay.
It is a leisure day in Tapovan. Sometimes it is good to do nothing, just relax and enjoy the pristine and spectacular view. The view of the gleaming Mount Shivling and its adjoining peaks captivates the mind. If you are a photogenic person, then it is the right time to click pictures from different angles for your Instagram.
On day 5, it is the time to capture this scene in your eyes for one last time and leave this place without any footprints. Trek back the route to Bhojbasa that took around 5 hours to reach.
This is the last day on the trek, where you have to cover a distance of 14 km. After 9 hours trek, you will reach Gangotri, where you will be accommodated in a hotel or camp.
After collecting all your beautiful memories and moments, say a final goodbye to your fellow trekkers & drive back to Dehradun.
