GAUMUKH TAPOVAN WITH MERU GLACIER
TOUR DETAILS
"Witness Gaumukh: Stand at the literal source of the sacred River Ganga", Tapovan
There are some journeys that resonate deeper than others, and the Gaumukh Tapovan trek is undeniably one of them. This isn't just about reaching a high-altitude meadow; it's a profound pilgrimage to the revered River Ganga, flowing directly from the snout of the Gangotri Glacier.
For any thoughtful adventurer, this trek is an invitation to connect with ancient myths, raw glacial power, and the humbling grandeur of the Himalayas.
Our Odyssey begins in the sacred town of Gangotri, already steeped in spiritual energy, where the Bhagirathi River starts. The trail winds through the dense deodar and pine forests.
The journey takes you past Chirbasa, then Bhojbasa, opening up to majestic Bhagirathi views—each step a transition from lush forest to rugged, high-altitude landscape.
Standing before the "Cow's Mouth"—the snout of the Gaumukh Glacier—is a humbling experience. Beyond Gaumukh, the terrain becomes tougher, with a final climb to Tapovan and, if conditions allow, the towering Meru Glacier.
This trek is a profound journey of wilderness, spirituality, and personal endeavor, an opportunity not just to see the Himalayas, but to feel their pulse.
