Gangotri - Gomukh in August
Hi I am planning for a trip to Gangotri - Gomukh and back on 15th August.
How the weather will be? Being a rainy season will the roads be open? Any guidance on this will be helpful. Thanks in advance. |

Will be rainy, but roads will be open (if not, will be opened by DGBR/BRO/PWD).

gangotri to gomukh is not a road. its a 19km trek. not too steep,its a gradual one.

I would say go for it. There will be rain but it is managable, last 2-3 years there have been rains as late as sept end. Carry rain gear - like poncho or something similar

People do the trek in the middle of monsoons every year so can you no problems that I can foresee.
