Take a trek that has acquired a legendary status for mountaineers and the Devotees, alike. Trek through the meadows of Gangotri , forests of Chirbasa and Bhojbasa to the source of the holy Ganges. Set camps at Tapovan , which has been frequented by yogis and mountaineers for many years. Tapovan is also the base camp of two of the most legendary mountains in our country – Shivling and Meru.
