Gaumukh Tapovan, India

Gaumukh Tapovan is one of those places where the journey feels just as meaningful as the destination. The trail takes you through the dramatic landscape of the Gangotri Himalayas, with the Bhagirathi peaks, Gangotri Glacier and the peaceful surroundings of Tapovan. I love the raw, untouched character of this place—the silence, the massive mountains and the feeling of being deep in the Himalayas. It is a place that stays in your memory long after the trek is over.
