Gangotri dham se gau mukh treck 2026 full detail with guide

The trek from Gangotri Dham to Gau Mukh is 18 km away (8 hours). After waking up at 6 am and visiting Gangotri Dham, we packed our bags and then set off for Gau Mukh. At 9 am, I checked my permit at the forest office. Then, enjoying the beautiful scenery, we walked 9 km until 12 pm, reaching Chhidwas, where both food and accommodation are available. After walking 5 km, we reached Bhojwas at 1:30 pm. From Bhojwas, we crossed the Bhagirathi River by trolley. After walking 4 km from Bhojwas, I reached Gau Mukh, where Mother Ganga originates. The road from Bhojwas to Gau Mukh was very rough. At 9:08 pm, I returned to Gangotri Dham. I covered the 36 km distance in 12 hours. #gangotridham #gangotriyatra2026 #gaumukh #chardhamyatra2026 #gangaaarti #gangotridhamsegaumukh #sololeveling #solotraveller
