Source of The Ganges is the most popular trek of the Uttarakhand Himalayas. The river Ganges or Ganga is the most holy river in the Hindu religion and its source at Gaumukh on the Gangotri glacier is one of the holiest destinations for Hindus who come here to witness the birth of Mother Ganga. We follow the River Ganges to its glacial Source Gomukh (translates to Cows mouth) and our journey takes us through some of the most beautiful river valleys at the foot of stunning Himalayan Mountains.
One of our most popular Trek which can be done all the year round. This trek is the best option for those coming first time trekking in the Himalayas. This trek in fact offers a lot for walking a little and takes you to one of the most beautiful Himalayan Lake Deoriatal, Highest temple of Lord Shiva in the region Tungnath and you scale a 4000mtrs non technical peak known as Chandrashilla. From the Top one can see 360 degree panoramic view of prominent peak of Uttarakhand Himalayas i.e. Nanda Devi ( 7817mtrs- The highest peak of Indian Himalayas), Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Kedarnath, Banderpoonch, Trishul, etc. The trek route falls in Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary and you walk through dense forest of oak and rhododendron trees. The Forest is a home of some of the rare animals and birds specially Musk Deer, Leopard, beer & peasants .
In the Year 1982 the access to the Nanda Devi National Park was banned to protect its biodiversity. The Nanda Devi Sanctuary which has been declared a World Heritage site has been partially opened in the year 2003 for restricted number of tourists. Renowned mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary has described that the “Nanda Devi Sanctuary†is God-gifted wilderness-India’s-training ground for adventureâ€â€¦â€¦ The beautiful surroundings with abundant flora and fauna make this a sanctuary of nature.
This is our most demanding Trek as this trek is believed to be one of most scenic trek of Indian Himalayas. The famous Explorer and mountaineer Eric Shipton writes in his book Nanda Devi: Exploration and Ascent about crossing the Kauri pass. The top of the pass was reached by 7 o'clock (am) of a clear, cold morning and we were privileged to see what must be one of the grandest mountain views in the world. The trail takes you through lush green fields, , remote mountain villages, beautiful alpine meadows carpeted with flowers and dense forests rich in wildlife.
