Gangotri: Closely related to the goddess Ganga, the river that we know under the name of Ganges. The temple is one of the main pilgrimage sites among the four pilgrimage zones of Char Dham, it is at an altitude of 3042 m, surrounded by deodars (type of endemic conical cedars) and pines. The history of Gangotri dates to centuries when the goddess Ganga was transformed into a river to dissolve the sins of the ancestors of King Bhagirath, after his penance. Gangotri is a popular pilgrimage site in India. The Ganga River originates from the Gangotri Glacier and is known as the Bhagirathi. The striking presence of the snow-capped mountains in the vicinity and the pure crystal-clear water of the Ganges flowing around add to the sanctity of the place. Vegan food dominates the culture and is available at local food counters or dhabas. Non-vegetarian foods and alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.

After reaching Gomukh, we cross the waters of the glacier to reach the other side to climb to Tapovan. Tapovan comes from 2 words - Tapas meaning ‘penance’ and Van meaning ‘forest’ - so it translates to ‘forest of penance’ or ‘spiritual practices’.
