Gaumukh Tapovan Trek- Uttarakhand Gangotri Dham
The Gaumukh glacier is like the starting point of the Bhagirathi River, and it's super important for religious people who really want to take a freezing cold dip in the icy water. The Gaumukh Tapovan Trek is this amazing trip through the Garhwal Himalayas, taking you to the special place where the Ganges River begins at Gaumukh. Gaumukh is where the water from the glaciers slowly comes down. The wise people named it 'Gaumukh' because a long time ago, it probably looked like a cow's mouth. Tapovan is just perfect for folks who want both peace and adventure. It's up there at 4,463 meters, which is like 14,640 feet above sea level.
