Gangotri and Gomukh

Me and my Southee colleagues are ready to go on a trip to Gangotri today. Will be back only after three days, since we have a official holiday on Monday for an unknown reason(some Memorial day in US :( ). Some info about the places we are about to see.


Gangotri: In the hinterlands of the Himalayas is Gangotri where, it is believed, Ganga, the stream of life, touched earth for the first time.

Gomukh: Source of the Gangotri glacier & source of the river Bhagirathi, Gomukh is located at an altitude of 4200 metres. Gangotri to Gomukh is a 23km trek by walk.

Hoping for a leg paining trip.....
