DAY OF GANGOTRI

THE TREKKING TRAIL

• Today is the first day you’ll be trekking for the Kalindi Khal Pass. We’ll be waking up early, having breakfast, and start our trek towards Bhojwasa. The entire trek is in the Gangotri National Park.
  The trek today is of gentle and easy ascent. It is a well-paved path and you will also meet several pilgrims on the way to Gaumukh and Gangotri glacier. The views of Sudarshan Parbat will accompany you soon after starting your trek. You will be trekking beside the Bhagirathi river. You can hear the gentle and meditating sound of the Bhagirathi river flowing down below.
  Once you reach Chirbasa, rest and have some snacks and continue your trek towards the Bhojwasa campsite. The trail to Bhojwasa has several landslide-prone sections as well so we will need to be careful and watchful for any falling rocks.
  Just before you reach Bhojwasa, you will see views of the whole valley ahead of you. This is an amazing viewpoint. Once you reach Bhojwasa, you can get the first views of Mt. Shivling. The Bhagirathi river flows just beside the campsite overnight in tents.

Gaumukh is where the water of Ganga trickles down form the glaciers. The sages called it Gaumukh because in the distant past it probably appeared like a cow ‘s mouth. Explore the area and trek to Tapovan one of the finest high altitude alpine meadows in the area. The trek form Gaumukh to Tapovan is ascent steep and as we climb the view of the surrounding peaks become clearer Tapovan know for its beautiful meadows that encircle the base camp of the Shivling peak Tapovan is a very pleasant surprise spotwith a large meadow camplete with a bubbling streams wildflowers and campsites. Herds of Bhral ( blue mountain goats ) are a common sight from here on mountain ridges .On the far side of the glacier the Bhagirthi l, ll, lll, 6,454 mtr provide an equally impressive backdrop. It is also the little wonder where sadhus and saints choose this spot for extended meditation during the long summer month . Arrive Tapovan and camp. Dinner and overnight stay in camp.

DAY TO NANDANVAN

• On this day we start early & head to the great Meru Glacier . After a brief halt to explore Meru Glacier , we trace back to Nandanvan via Gomukh glacier . The route from Tapovan leads from the upper section of the meadow till down and onto the glacier . From Gomukh turn towards Nandanvan ( 4340m ) and steering on right one will be on top of the Gangotri glacier . The glacier runs between two ranges and the landslides make a layer of rocky moraine on the ice which makes the walking easier . The glacier walk is very slippery and a slight lack of concentration would be dangerous . Huge crevasses gaped here and there . After walking for about a kilometer there is a vertical ascent . Big rocks en route offer grips and footholds but many of them are deceptive too . Dinner and overnight stay in tents .
