Gaumukh the origin of #ganga river ????
Gangotri (Sanskrit and Hindi: गंगोत्री) is located in Uttarkashi District, Uttarakhand, India in a region bordering Tibet. This glacier, one of the primary sources of the Ganges, has a volume of over 27 cubic kilometers. The glacier is about 30 kilometres (19 miles) long and 2 to 4 km (1 to 2 mi) wide. Around the glacier are the peaks of the Gangotri Group, including several peaks notable for extremely challenging climbing routes, such as Shivling, Thalay Sagar, Meru, and Bhagirathi III. It flows roughly northwest, originating in a cirque below Chaukhamba, the highest peak of the group.
The terminus of the Gangotri Glacier is said to resemble a cow's mouth, and the place is called Gomukh or Gaumukh (gou, cow + mukh, face). Gomukh, which is about 19 km (11.8 mi) from the town of Gangotri, is the precise source of the Bhagirathi river, an important tributary of the Ganges. Gomukh is situated near the base of Shivling; in between lies the Tapovan meadow.
Gaumukh Glacier - Source of Sacred River Ganga ????
This is my 3rd visit to the holy cave Gaumukh-Origin of sacred river Ganga.
The ideal way to travel from Dehradun to Gangotri is by road. Start early from Dehradun so that you reach Gangotri by early evening, in time to enjoy the ‘aarti’ (divine ritual) at River Bhagirathi and also visit the Gangotri temple. To trek to Gaumukh and beyond, you will need permits as you will be walking through the Gangotri National Park. Permits are easily available at Rishikesh and Gangotri. If you are travelling with a tour operator they will arrange for your permits. For Tapovan, a guide is a must and you will need to mention that while applying for a permit. Stay overnight here. For permits, visit
.
The administration will also check your bags to see how many plastic goods you are carrying – bottles, food packets etc. The count in written on your permit. They will collect a deposit fee from you (which will be refunded when you show them the exact count on your return). This method has stopped people from littering. After walking for one km more, the Bhagirathi river will join you and will accompany you for a long time. After walking for around 6 km more, you will reach Chirbasa (at an altitude of approx 3,400 m) in five hours. This is where you can break for lunch. The route gets adventurous from here, passing through a couple of rock-fall zones. The ascent is gradual and the trek, comfortable. Carry a water bottle, which you can refill from the waterfalls and mountain streams on the route. The around 6-km trek from Chirabasa will bring you to Bhojbasa (3,800 m), in about four hours. This is where you will stay for the night. You can also set up your camp at Bhojbasa. Camping after Bhojbasa up to Gaumukh is prohibited.

The source of the Ganges - Ganges - BBC
The epic journey to find the source of the Ganges reaches the temple of Gangotri - the place where Hindus believe that Ganges first appeared on Earth. The river here is already wide and very powerful and fed by one of the Himalayas' largest glaciers. To reach the farthest extremity of the river, the determined few journey even higher.

Chcek out more Upcoming Treks for 2024:
Gaumukh-Tapovan is one of the oldest trekking trails in India. While climbing to the source of River Ganga, this trek is an absolute honour, trekking amidst big mountains like Mt.Shivling, Mt Bhagirathi and Mt Meru offers huge gratification. In this video, the founder of Indiahikes, Arjun Majumdar, who has done the trek twice, tells us the highlights of the trek.
There are summit views and there are ‘big’ summit views. On the Gaumukh Tapovan trek, you don’t just see the best views of Mt Shivling. You see Mt Shivling right from the base to it’s summit. And if you don’t know about Mt Shivling, it’s one of the most beautiful looking mountains in our country. No wonder the mountain has featured in our gold calendar every year since it was published.
On this trek you see the acclaimed Mt Meru too (trekkers go gaga over Mt Meru thanks to the cult mountaineering movie that came out on it). You see Manda Parbat as well.

Gaumukh Tapovan Trek || Gangotri Glacier || Origin of ganga
The Ganges River originates in the Himalaya Mountains at Gomukh, the terminus of the Gongotri Glacier. When the ice of this glacier melts, it forms the clear waters of the Bhagirathi River. As the Bhagirathi River flows down the Himalayas, it joins the Alaknanda River, officially forming the Ganges River.

During this trek, a lot of people got injured and after we reached Gangotri we came to know that many people died on a different trek because of the bad weather. We made some right choices and that helped us to survive this deadly weather.

Gaumukh rare aerial view - see the Ganga actually emerge from Gangotri glacier!
In that drab brownness lies the genesis of India's most important river! The dark patch is the Gangotri glacier giving way to the waters emanating from below the glacier and transforming in that one instant into the Ganga or the Ganges, the life-giver to the hundreds of millions who live downstream of south Asia's most important riverine source.
