I am reaching Dehradun on 31st Oct an planning for a trip to Gaumukh. Advice if the following plan is feasible.

1st Nov: Dehradun------Gangotri (Gangnani on the way)
this is ok
2nd Nov: Gangotri ------Bhojbasa. (Trek)
this is ok
3rd Nov: Bhojbasa ------- Gaumukh ------Bhojbasa (Trek)
this is ok
4th Nov: Bhojbasa ----- Gangotri (Trek) -------Tehri (Road)(3 hours)
this is ok but gangotri to tehri will take 4 hrs..
5th Nov: Tehri ------ Badrinath (Road)(6 hours)
tehri to badrinath almost 10 hrs(depens on road condition)
5th Nov: Valley of flowers trekking (Trek)
that can not be done in one day ..need one more day atleast
6th Nov: Badrinath ------ Rishikesh (Road) 5 hours.
not 5hrs its 300km you need 10-12 hrs..
7th Nov: River rafting ( 25 km or 42 km)
for rafting its better you stay at shivpuri insted of rishikesh. from shivpuri you can start rafting .
8th Nov: Rishikesh ---- Haridwar (1/2 hour)
its ok
8th Nov: Haridwar ---- Delhi (Train)
its ok
9th Nove: Reach Mumbai.

Good reply Vikram ...it would be better if you post your answers in bold or after a space as it makes it easy to differentiate. Of course, OP needs to be careful about the weather and the temples will be closed too.

Thanks Jitu ji

i will take care of that.

As far as I know, chardham, VOF, Gaumukh all would be closed from around Diwali. Hope you have factored this in into your plans.

Gangotri Kapats will be closed on 17th October and no treks to Bhojbasa or Gaumuksh will be allowed from 15th October (or if the weather deteriorates may be even earlier also).

Seeing your trip details would like to inform you that the Gongotri temple is closing on 19th October and no trip to Gamukh allowed. Also hope you are aware that for Gamukh you require a permission from DFO uttarkashi (for future ref.).
The Badrinath temple is closing on Nov 17th because of the last Kartik month puja. So you have only one place to visit.
The Hemkunt sahib has closed on 5th October, (same every year). so the road to VOF is closed as all provisions close once the Hemkunt sahib closes.
Finally only river rafting and rishikesh visit remains.
however if you have already planned your tour and taken your office leaves accordingly then you can make Auli and Kumaon hills some alternative option. the site gives lot of threads for your referrence.
