Day 2. Delhi - Rishikesh (356 m/6 hrs):
Early morning drive to Rishikesh takes about 6 hrs. Rishikesh is one of the best located pilgrimage centres along the Ganges. It has been a holy place of pilgrimage since time immemorial, with sages and ascetics making their way here to pay homage to the great Mother Ganga enroute to the pilgrim sights further north in the Himalaya. According to the tradition, Lord Rama and his brother Lakshman stopped over here after slaying the demon Ravana. The town grew around the Bharat Mandir which was erected on the site at which Lord Vishnu appeared to two Rishis-a father and son - who had impressed the God with their intense veneration. The town lies at 356 mtrs, only 24kms north of Haridwar, and is surrounded by forested hills on three sides.
Arrive and check into hotel. Evening, visit the holy town and attend the evening aarti (Hindu worship) ceremony at Triveni Ghat on the Ganges. You can also visit the Lakshman Jhula Temple. Overnight in hotel.

The famous Himalayan Mountaineering Institute is also here. Overnight in guest house.

Day 4. Uttarkashi-Gangotri (3050M/6 hrs):
After breakfast, drive to Gangotri. Following the surging river upstream, the road winds up the valley, past the hot sulphar springs at Ganganani, and continues steeply through a series of hairpin bends to the village of Sukki. The road then descends into the wide and picturesque Harsil Valley, rich with walnut, apple and deodar trees. Here the river changes character dramatically, flowing placidly through this idyllic valley. Immediately thereafter, it resumes its former character and flows as a ferocious torrent, through the deep river-cut gorge. Soaring Himalayan peaks play 'hide and seek' all the way to Gangotri. Evening, explore this sacred pilgrimage place including the temple of the goddess Ganga on the right bank of the river. Overnight in guest house.

Day 7. Gaumukh-Tapovan (4450 m/3-4 hrs.):
The trail weaves its way through the terminal moraine before cutting across the Gangotri glacier and climbing steeply up the grassy slopes to the huge ablation valley of Tapovan.

Camp is set in the heart of high mountain country for 3 nights.

Day 9. Tapovan- Meru Glacier and back (4800 M) :
Another full days walk crossing the meadows of Tapovan, the trail climbs into another beautiful valley, which leads us to the base of Mt Meru (6400 M) - yet another of the spectacular Garhwal peaks, it's mythical name being "The Mountain of Gold".

Day 10. Tapovan- Nandanvan (4570m / 7 –8 hrs.):
This day is largely an exercise of boulder hopping, where we cross the moraine covered Gangotri glacier to Nandanvan, located at the confluence of the Chaturangi and the Gangotri glaciers. Literally meaning the 'four colored glaciers', the Chaturangi is truly multihued. The massive meadows of Nandanvan are situated at the base of the Bhagirathi massif (6850 M), (6510 M) & (6450 M). The area provides excellent sightings of bharal (blue sheep). Overnight in tents.

Another boulder hop along the Gangotri glacier to its snout at Gaumukh.
