Tour Plan

DAY-1 DEHRADUN TO GANGOTRI DRIVE

7/8 hours drive of 242 km From Dehradun we drive to Gangnani via Uttarkashi. Gangnani is known for the natural hot water spring baths it has. We drive to Gangotri on this day itself. We stay at a guesthouse overnight.

DAY-2 GANGOTRI (3,048 M) TO CHIRBASA (3,600 M) - 6 H TREK

9km trek in 6 hours. On this day, we start our trek from Gangotri to Chirbasa (3,650 m). From Gangotri we move along the beaten trail towards Chirbasa, which is on a tree line. The entire trek today is along the roaring Bhagirathi River.

DAY-3 CHIRBASA TO BHOJBASA (3,800 M) - 3 H TREK

5 km trek in 3-4 hours. Beyond Chirbasa the terrain becomes really desolate and barren. In fact, it has been referred to as Arctic Tundra by many trekkers. From Chirbasa we trek further to Bhojwassa, the entire trail passes through dense forest. In Bhojbasa there is a small temple and a potential campsite near the river. In the afternoon we are free to explore the area and to enjoy excellent sunset on Bhagirathi's group of peaks.

DAY-4 BHOJBASA TO GAUMUKH (3,900 M) TO TAPOVAN (4,335 M)- 7 H

Bhojbasa to Gaumukh to Tapovan, 7 hours 9 km Early in the morning enjoy the panoramic view of the Bhagirathi group of peaks. After breakfast, we trek to Gaumukh (3,890 m), the source of the Ganges. We explore the area and trek to Tapovan, one of the finest high altitude alpine meadows in the area. The trek from Gaumukh to Tapovan has a steep ascent, and as we climb, the view of the surrounding peaks becomes clearer. They appear to be just a stone's throw away. It is also a little wonder why Sadhus and saints choose this spot for extended meditation during the long summer months.
