Pilgrims take a horse-back ride, Gaumukh
- 3 years ago
Gaumukh Trek in Uttarakhand, India. Some pilgrims opt to walk up to the glacial source, while others take a horse-back ride up. One can see clear views of the Bhagirathi peaks en route from Gangotri to Gaumukh. Also, see the Ganga from Bhaironghati and the temple steps leading down to the river at Gangotri.
Gangotri Gaumukh, source of river Ganga and abode of goddess Ganga, is one of the four of the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit in India. The river is called Bhagirathi at the source and gets the name Ganga from Devprayag onwards where it is joined by the Alaknanda. The origin of the holy river is at Gaumukh, set in the Gangotri Glacier, and is a 19 km trek from Gangotri.
