Overview

Category: Moderate Adventure.

The Ganga in India has a legend, a story and a belief attached to it at every other step of its course and its source at Gangotri glacier is no different. Cow’s mouth is the literal translation into English of Gaumukh (or Gomukh), from where the Ganga originates. It too has a pilgrimage value and a legend attached to it says that King Bhagirath got the Ganga down here from the heavens so that salvation could be bought for his sons. True or not Gaumukh with its icicle Gangotri glacier is a challenge for every trekker and adventurer, most of who like to go beyond the Gaumukh point to camp right at the base of Shivling peak from where one also gets to see a magnificent view of Bhagirathi peaks.
