I have done this trek 2 times.

Won't be any problem.

Whats your experience?

It's a moderately tough trek....

livinhimalayas · Jun 20th, 2009, 09:43

Shouldn't be too difficult.

spicetrekker · Jun 21st, 2009, 15:28

Other than rains it should be ok. The only tough part of the trek is the crossing of glacial moraine between Goumukh and Tapovan

Make sure of rains before going. In rainy season, there can be land-sliding in these mountains that may pose unexpected delays in your itenary.

Good luck!

With an official declaration of drought this year and the scientists fearing the El Nino effect has already depleted the monsoons, forget about rains for a while

ashim · Jul 3rd, 2009, 18:08

pushing too hard for your 7 year old child.

Do you have a porter for the trip.

The ponies do not go beyond Bhujbhasa.

debajyoti · Jul 3rd, 2009, 18:38

Hi Ashim,
You mentioned "The ponies do not go beyond Bhujbhasa."

But i think , the movement of Mules/Horses are banned inside Gangotri National Park

Please clarify..

Debajyoti

ashim · Jul 3rd, 2009, 18:56

No,
You can hire Mules/Horses till bhujbhasa from gangotri.

The last 4 kms (bhujbhasa - Gomukh) , you need to go by foot.

Please let me know for any further clarification. Just came from there on first week of June.
