Dehradun to Gangotri Drive
Gangotri - The journey to Gaumukh Tapovan begins in Dehradun, where you can reach by flight, bus, or train. From Dehradun, your route leads to Gangotri, passing through notable landmarks like Landour, Moriana Top, Uttarkashi, and Harsil.
In Uttarkashi, it’s advisable to take some time to purchase any necessary items. It’s the last town with multiple ATM services, so withdrawing cash here is recommended.
Beyond Uttarkashi, we’ll pass through Khedi Waterfall at Maneri, Jhala, Harsil, Dharali, and Bhaironghati.
Gangotri is a spiritual town offering insights into the local Hindu religion at the Ganga Maiya Temple. Additionally, there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and hotels, ensuring a fulfilling stay.
Acclimatization Day at Gangotri
Gangotri - Upon reaching Gangotri, you’ll find yourself already at an elevation of 3,415 meters above sea level. Adjusting to such high altitudes can be challenging due to the decreased oxygen levels and air pressure, potentially leading to altitude-related illnesses like AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness).
To mitigate the risks of altitude sickness, we’ll spend the second day acclimatizing in Gangotri. Our day will commence with a visit to the Ganga Maiya Temple, where we’ll delve into its ancient cultural significance, evident in its architecture and sculptures.
We’ll also explore nearby attractions such as Surya Kunda, Pandava Gufa, and Ganga Ghats.
Most importantly, we’ll prioritize rest to conserve energy for the rest of the trek. Ample sleep, a nutritious diet, and staying hydrated are crucial for effective acclimatization.
