  Gangotri glacier trek

Description:  

Gomukh is place in Gangotri glacier where the Bhagirathi river originates. Bhagirathi River is also famous as River Ganges. The official river Ganges starts at Devprayag when Bhagirathi river merged with river Alaknanda. The Gaumukh is located at at the height of 13,200 fts. Gomukh means "Mouth of a Cow". 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 drive will take you past the settlement of Bhairon Ghati and into the single traffic-choked streets of Gangotri. Here the river is joined by its tributary, the Kedar Ganga, rising in the glacier lake of Kedar Tal. Together they gush down the toffee-colored rocks of Gauri Kund and flow down the Himalayas. Here too. Celebrated in Hindu mythology and religion, the Garhwal Himalayas are said to be the "Abode of the Gods". The river Ganges takes its source in this remote massif, at the sacred shrine of Gangotri, and rushes down to the plains in a torrential fury. The Nandan Van trek should really be called the Gangotri-Gaumukh-Nandadevi-Tapovan Trek. It is particularly interesting because it offers a wide variety of Himalayan trekking experiences: rock climbing, and glacier traversing. Nevertheless, it is considered to be a trek which even non-mountaineers can undertake fairly comfortably. You can place yourself in the hands of one of the many competent trekking outfits.

Altitudes: Harsil (2,620 meter), Gangotri (3,415 meter), Bhojbasa (3,775 meter), Gaumukh (4,000 meter), Tapovan (4,463 meter)

Why   Treks in Himalayas Because the Himalaya,  "home of the snows" , is the most impressive system of mountains on the planet, and for centuries the setting for epic feats of exploration and mountain climbing, are a world into themselves. Ascending the heights and being a part of the Himalayan landscape is an experience beyond comparison. Above all trekking in the Himalaya is often a mix of adventure, pleasure and self realisation.

The Greatest Treks of India The Himalayas span across northern India from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh in the east to Kashmir in the west.  Sikkim  in eastern India is famous for several trekking that skirt the base of Kanchenjunga the world’s third tallest mountain. Sikkim is one of the wettest places in the Himalayas and the culture is dominantly Buddhist. The central portion of the Indian Himalayas which includes the states of  Himachal Pradesh  and  Uttarakhand  is famous for its trekking routes many of which are also Hindu Pilgrimages that go high into the Himalayas.  Ladakh  in the west is one of the driest regions of the Himalaya and provides good trekking options when the rest of the region is experiencing Monsoon rainfall.  Kashmir occupies the westernmost portion of the Himalayas and has often been referenced as “heaven on earth” for its beautiful alpine meadows and majestic pine forests although the beauty is at times overshadowed by security risks.

Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal This Himalaya range is situated in central Nepal and is one of the most spectacular trekkings in Nepal. The Annapurna trek reaches 18,000 feet above sea level, but through most of the trek the vegetation is lush. Once you reach the top, ice-capped mountains greet you and it is an extremely serene feeling. 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. We didn't encounter much trouble during the h trek as we had a knowledgeable guide who helped us throughout the trek. On every himalaya trekking I take, I ensure that we have
