Gaumukh Trek

"Trekkers and pilgrims converge at the source of the Ganges, at Gaumukh, the glacial source at the end of the Gangotri glacier. Here, everything is a mass of rubble, moraine, till, sand and rock! No, Himalayan riverine sources are not particularly pretty places... But there is beauty in the harshness of the terrain. The main source of the Ganges, Gaumukh, is at the mouth of the Gaumukh glacier where blocks of glacier ice fall into the river and pilgrims take a bath in freezing water to cleanse themselves of all the sins. Gaumukh is like paradise where one would find things in its purist form. One must visit Gaumukh for the panoramic view and lovely clean air. The holy glacier has much to offer than just its religious significance.
