After breakfast on the second day of our Gumukh Tapovan Trek, we will begin our journey towards Chirbasa. Today's hike will be around 7-8 kilometres long and will take about 5 hours to complete. The hike will take place in a pine forest near the rushing Bhagirathi River. The route is beautiful because it provides breathtaking views of Sudarshan Parbat (21,345 feet). We'll also pass by a few waterfalls and streams, where we'll be able to replenish our water bottles. The Gangotri National Park will host the whole Gaumukh trip. Arrive to the campground in the afternoon and take in the scenery. The campground will be located beside the Bhagirathi River, in the midst of a pine forest. The location also has spectacular views of the Bhagirathi sister peaks, including Bhagirathi I, II, and III (6856, 6512, and 6454 metres, respectively), as well as Bhrigu Parbat and Manda Peak. We'll go for an acclimatisation walk and see the place after lunch. Camps will be used for overnight stays.

Leaving the last of the human villages behind, we continue following the river Supin on the true left Enjoy the beautiful sunlight as you wake up. Breakfast is served, and we prepare for the walk to Bhojbasa. In comparison to previous days, today's walk will be simpler and shorter. We'll go closer to the Bhagirathi peaks on this path. The campgrounds will be set up on a flat surface after the journey, and the location is Bhojwasa. The name of this campground comes from the Bhojpatra trees, often known as Birch trees. Forest checkpoints, rest houses, ashrams, and other facilities may be found on this campground. After arriving at the campground, have your lunch and unwind. At the campsite, we may go exploring or play games. Staying in the camps for the night.

The day has finally arrived for the most difficult and longest trip yet, so eat properly, bring a snack, fill water bottles (there are no water sources along the path), bring energy bars, and be ready to be delighted. From here, the route becomes steeper and more full of rock boulders. The glacier's granite moraines make the climb tough, but they also eliminate the need for technical gear. To make the climb simpler, use a trekking pole. The last leg of the journey to Tapovan is rugged, but once you've made it there, you'll be glad to be in the well-known meadows, where you can see Mt. Shivling in all its beauty. Sadhus come from all around the world to meditate at Tapovan.

Early mornings are ideal for savouring the final few moments of the day in front of sun-drenched ancient mountains. Mt. Shivling has never been more majestic, encompassing the neighbouring summits in its majesty. They join together to create a breathtaking scene. After breakfast, it's time to bring these memories back to life. Pack a meal and lots of water, exactly like you did before, because there are no water sources. Yes, the glacier's difficult slopes and moraines must be traversed once again. As you navigate your way around the rocks, you'll realise that descending is more difficult than climbing. Keep an eye on what's going on and take it carefully. Retrace your steps and try to relive the experiences. After descending steeply to Gomukh, continue trekking along the Bhagirathi River. Walking to Chirbassa will take roughly 6-7 hours. After that, you'll return to the same pine trees. It's predictable that you'll be camping beside a river, amid mountains, and under pine trees...!!

When you wake up, you'll remember that this is the last day of your journey. The walk to Gangotri is around 9 kilometres long and takes 4-5 hours to complete. Streams and waterfalls should be used to replenish water bottles. As the sight of the Bhagirathi and other mountain summits fades, say your farewell. At the guest home, you will be served a cooked lunch and supper. Pack your belongings and return to Dehradun, and with it, to your lovely houses.

After breakfast it time to say goodbye to the mountains and friends. It is the last day of the journey.
