I have been visiting Gomukh since 1987. I have already been there 10 times. It is a must visit place for Nature Lovers. Here Gods come down to meet you. Majestic Bhagirath 1, 2 and 3 peaks stand tall. I insist that everyone stays in Bhujbasa while on the way to Gomukh glacier the next day and again stay at Gomukh till about 5 pm, to take the photographs of sunset when the last rays of sunlight beam on Bhagirath peaks. You can stay either at GMVN bungalow or at Famous Lal Baba Ashram and both are cosy, however at Lal Baba Ashram, you get a personal touch. God bless. Regards.

The river Bhagirathi originates from Gangotri glacier & considered as the origin point is called Gaumukh. The name Gaumukh means Mouth of a Cow. It is located about 19 KM from Gangotri at an altitude of 13200 ft & can be reached by trekking. Me 65 yrs & my wife 62 yrs, reached Bojbasha & boarded in GMVN rest house.On 16th morning we crossed the Bhagirathi river by hand pulling ropeway and started our trek. Most of the path was full of boulders and walking on them was a test of physical endurance. After walking about 4 km , the site of Gangotri glacier & Gaumukh came in to view. The glacier is covered with mud and stones. It was a lovely view. Then we moved towards Tapovan (14640 ft) which was another 5 km. Trek to Tapovan is very tough. There are tricky glacier sections to be crossed in addition to steep climbs.It was very difficult to walk on big boulders & in some places loose pebbles.I was simply mesmerized to see the beauty of mountains surrounding me. Mount Bhagirathi was on my left, Meru on right and mighty Shivling was in the middle. Mount Shivling can be seen from top to bottom at Tapovan. I was simply hypnotized seeing the creation of nature and was standing like a zombie for minutes. After spending more than an hour we came down to Gaumukh. I was thrilled to see the origin of Ganges from the closest proximity. Finally we came back to Bhojbasha.. Next day we left for Gangotri. This trail is rated as moderate & can be undertaken by trekkers with good state-of-health.

The Kedarkantha trek is a fun, easy trek, and runs all year round. It's easily accessible, so it's a popular one too. You'll be trekking in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, so you can expect gorgeous greenery, with streams and forests. And because it's a ridge peak trek, you'll get some spectacular views too. But of all the months, the winter is the best time for the Kedarkantha trek because of the snow. A white blanket of pristine snow covers the landscape, and everything looks gorgeous. You'll get to camp at Juda ka Talab, a small natural lake that is in the middle of a forest. At night, you'll stay in tents and enjoy cosy evenings under the stars, with the mountains gleaming white in the moonlight.
