Regarding Gaumukh - Tapovan trek....

Shyamalways · Nov 30th, 2007, 13:47

Hi

would it be a good time to trek in mid FEb to Gomukh and tapovan?pls suggest

rachit · Nov 30th, 2007, 16:55

I dont think it would be advisable to go to tapovan in feb...I think there will be a lot of snow still(upto 6 feet)...Even reaching Gomukh might be difficult but still possible...

hi mrinmoy da.sorry for being out of the site for so long. we are going to tapovan-nandanvan in sept. do we need heavy winter gear?

VSK Sharma · Mar 19th, 2008, 23:59

Hi,
I hope you are aware that you are going to move on a glacier and camp in high altitude and so need to take all the required precautions. It is a cold place and so do carry sufficent woolens. All the best

[quote=kgemini;492364]Dear freind,

HI kgemini,

Weather is expected to be sunny normally.

At Gangotri u can have guide, porter but no tent. tent is available in Uttarkashi.

Guide charge Rs.300/-,porter 200/-,tent 25/- per day.

Dilliwala · May 23rd, 2008, 03:39

Only 25 per day for a tent?

Or shud that read 250?

Skipper · May 23rd, 2008, 23:57

25 certainly.A 4 man ridge tent of standard quality [trek purpose] usually takes 5000-6000/-.Hence charge @250 will just be too high.Agencies take 50-60 for new tent and 25 for old.
For Nandanvan old tent can make up.

Kgemini, you better carry it from Kolkata.Ubac,Alpine - a lot of agencies are there.
