Our first hike to the source of the Ganga was very impressive!
For all those who are thinking about hiking in the Himalayas themselves, here are the essentials covering our tour.
The north of India has cast its spell on us again. This time we spend a few wonderful days in and around the small mountain town of Manali.
Fresh mountain air, lonely hiking trails and lovely cafes: Manali surprises us with things we miss so much from Germany.
The second day of our Himalayan tour is upon us. We continue to follow the river and for the first time we can see three peaks of Bhagirathi mountain.
The Ganga river feeds mainly from the Bhagirathi river, the river we walk along our Himalaya trek to Gaumukh - Tapovan. Legend has it that the king Bhageeratha asked lord Brahma to bring down the Ganga river to earth to perform ceremonies for his ancestors.
Day 1 of our trek starts at just before 6:00 am. It will take us from Gangotri, to the Gaumukh Glacier and to the Tapovan Plateau at the foot of the sacred Mount Shivling.
