I back from my Tapovan trek few days back. Tapovan is dream
location for those who love adventure. Gangorti-Gaumukh-Tapovan trek along the
holy river Bhagirathi takes you to the source of the river Ganga known as
Gaumukh (Cow's snout). This trek is combination of adventure, mountain climbing,
rock climbing and glacier traverse. The trek goes through an coniferous pine
trees at Chirbasa and birch at Bhojbasa. From Bhojbasa one has to trek to
Gaumukh and from Gaumukh to Tapovan traverses along the Gangotri glacier. After
crossing the Gangotri glacier and traversing on a rocky face I reached to the
meadows of Tapovan (meditating ground). From Tapovan views of Shivling,
Bhagirathi, Meru Parvat, Kedar dome are fabulous. Herds of Bharal (Blue
mountain goats) are a common sight here on mountain ridges…
Here I am posting few pictures of my trek. Soon will write
complete trek log…
