peaks, valleys of flowers, deep gorges, alpine meadows, and
luxuriant forests.

An area which has been attracting people for centuries.
The trek starts from the 18th century temple of Gangotri and

Gaumukh, the snout of the glacier, Tapovan and the mighty peaks
of the Garhwal Himalayas definitely make it a special trek.

Dodital Trek
A moderate trek which starts from the Bhagirathi valley, goes up
to the lake of Dodital (wrapped in perfect wilderness) to the
alpine meadows and crosses over at Darwa Pass (4150m) to the
Yamuna watershed. Traditionally this trek has been continuously
used by the Gujjars, the nomadic herdsmen who get their buffalos
to the high meadows every summer and occasionally by the
pilgrims / sadhus walking between Gangotri and Yamunotri. We go
right up to the Darwa Top and retrace our steps.

Nilkantha, Kamet, Gauri Parbat, Hathi Parbat, Nandadevi,
Bethartoli, Dunagiri – (all high 6000ers or 7000 m peaks) lined
one after the other in a magnificent arc … Southwards the
foothills stretch wave upon wave on to the dim haze of the
distant plains. Dotted by some remote villages one also gets
good insights into the local life.
