Beginning the Journey from Gangotri
The trip begins in Gangotri, a town that is very spiritual. It is situated next, to the Bhagirathi River. In Gangotri you can hear the sound of temple bells. At the time you can hear the sound of icy water rushing by. This makes Gangotri feel like a place right away. The town of Gangotri is a place where the Bhagirathi River flows. Gangotri has a lot of energy.
Before you start the trek a lot of people go to the Gangotri Temple. The Gangotri Temple is really beautiful.

When the permits are checked and the backpacks are adjusted the real journey of the trip actually begins with the adventure of traveling to places and seeing new things and this is what the journey is all, about the real journey.
The trail that you are walking on is really something. It is a path that slowly changes around you. You will be walking on the trail. It will look one way and then you will walk a little further and the trail will look completely different. The trail that slowly changes around you is a strange thing.
You have to be careful when you are walking on the trail because the trail that slowly changes around you can be confusing.
The first part of the trip to Chirbasa is really nice. There are a lot of pine trees along the way. The Bhagirathi River is next to you the whole time, like a friend. The sun shines down through the trees. When you turn a corner you see these cliffs in the Himalayas. The Himalayas are really something to see. The trip, to Chirbasa has a lot of views of the Himalayas.
When you walk further the conversations get really quiet. The mountains make people talk less. You start to notice things like the sound of the gravel when you step on it with your boots. The cold air from the mountains fills your lungs. You can also hear the sound of avalanches from away it is echoing across the valleys. The mountains are really good, at making you notice these things, like the crunch of the gravel and the cold mountain air.
When you get to Chirbasa the Chirbasa landscape looks really wild.

The next morning is really special because it is the time when we get to see Gaumukh. This is one of the emotional moments of the whole trek to Gaumukh. We finally get to reach Gaumukh. It is a very big deal for everyone on the trek, to Gaumukh.
I have been walking for hours, on this terrain and I am really tired. The Ganga river is what I came to see. Now I can see it. There is a wall of ice that looks like a cows mouth. The Ganga river starts from here. Icy water comes out of this glacier wall powerfully. This is the beginning of the Ganga rivers journey across India. The Ganga river has a way to go.
The sound of the glacier is really loud. You hear the ice cracking the water making a lot of noise and the cold wind blowing across it. A lot of people who trek stand here without saying a word they just take it all in. The glacier is so amazing that some people say prayers, some people. Others just stand there with their mouths open, in amazement at the glacier.
It is really hard not to feel small when you are standing in front of something that's so old and has so much power. The ancient thing is just so big and strong that it makes you feel tiny. You cannot. Feel that way when you are, near something so ancient and powerful.

The meadow is really green. It is very peaceful. It is at a high place. There are mountains around it and they have a lot of snow on them. Mount Shivling is right, in front of the meadow.
