Gomukh is 18 kms far from  Gangotri  town by walk. The trek is very hard and only a few people dare to reach here, thats why the whole area is still best for nature lovers without pollution. Trekking permit is required to reach Gaumukh which is issued at Uttarkashi. Gangotri is exquisite alpine country. Deodars march in serried ranks and gorges plunge,sliced by the bustling Bhagirathi.

The Annapurna trek reaches 18,000 feet above sea level, but through most of the trek the vegetation is lush.

The trek  begins in the southeastern town of Besisahar  at 2,690 feet (820m) and ascends to the  highest point, Thorung Pass  at 17,769 feet (5,416m).  It then descends to  Tatopani  at 3,937 feet (1,200m) and peaks again for another ascent to  Poonhill  at 10,499 feet (3,200m).  Thereafter it’s all downhill to  the final town of NayaPui  at 3,510 feet (1,070m). The majority of trekkers hike in this direction, but more adventurous  choose the opposite approach.
