The Gaumukh Tapovan Trek Package is a spiritually enriching and visually stunning journey into the heart of the Indian Himalayas. Located in Uttarakhand’s Gangotri National Park, this 8-day trek takes you to Gaumukh, the sacred source of the Ganges River, and further to Tapovan, a high-altitude meadow that offers commanding views of some of the Himalayas’ most iconic peaks, including Shivling, Meru, and Bhagirathi sisters. At an altitude of 4,463 meters, Tapovan is known for its vast alpine grasslands, glacial terrain, and serene atmosphere that attracts both trekkers and spiritual seekers.
Starting from the holy town of Gangotri, the trail follows the Bhagirathi River through dense forests and rugged mountain paths, passing landmarks like Chirbasa and Bhojbasa, before reaching the snout of the Gangotri Glacier at Gaumukh. From there, a steep climb leads to Tapovan, a place known for meditation, sadhus, and unmatched Himalayan vistas.
The best time to book the Gaumukh Tapovan Trek is from May to June and September to October, when the trail is most accessible.
