Overview

Where thousands of Hindu saints find refuge and live life performing meditation, where spirituality deeply inspire millions of its visitor, where not only the holy River Bhagirathi flows but also takes pride in becoming the origination of River Ganges – is a celestial place hidden among the aerial heights of many Himalayan Mountain Ranges – Gaumukh Tapovan region. This mesmerizing open land breathes life at a staggering height of 14,222 ft above sea level and only a few km away from Gangotri Temple in the state of Uttarakhand.

It has long been walked by thousands of travelers who wish to find spiritual refuge in the arms of Himalaya, but recently, the millennials also joined themselves on the bandwagon of finding the same divine refuge, maybe for some days. Once you set your foot down in this beautiful territory, you will yourself experience that divine aura that attracts thousands of people here every year. Apart from experiencing a journey of finding themselves through this trek limited among the snow-capped Himalayan Mountains, a traveler also gets to witness the surreal beauty of other ranges like Mount Shivling, Mount Meru, Thalay Sagar, etc.

The region is filled with big boulders where you could watch a saint calmly meditating and where hundreds of different varieties of flowers blooming under the clear blue sky. The trek is most enjoyed during the months of June to October when the tickling rain maximizes the experience for any traveler.
