Watch: Snow leopard sighted on road at Gangotri National Park in Uttarakhand
A snow leopard was caught on camera walking through a road at Gangotri National Park in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The snow leopard walked on the metalled road for quite some distance and then climbed the rocky mountains on the side from where it disappeared from view. Snow leopards are said to be very shy of humans and there are very rare instances of an encounter with the animal in the wild. Even when tourists visit regions inhabited by the snow leopard, only a few are lucky enough to get a glimpse of the animal.

Gangotri to Gaumukh Trek | A to Z of Gaumukh trek guide | Uttarakhand Tourism
Description section here has every detail about Gaumukh trek, starting from how to reach Gangotri and then Gaumukh, plus how to apply for permit etc…
This video is part of our 30 day Uttarakhad Char Dham yatra.
Distance from Gangotri to Gaumukh: This is a total distance of 18 km, with break up as…
Time Duration:We did this Trek from Gangotri to Gaumukh over 2 days, we stayed overnight at Bhojbasa.
Permit process: You need to apply online for Gaumukh permit using the below weblink..
Application for permit does not mean confirmation of travel on that day, you still need to visit the forest office day before or few days before the journey and get the day of travel confirmation done.
You can do this either at Uttarkashi or Gangotri.
Charge for permit: You don’t have to pay anything online - when you reach forest office entry gate at Gangotri , you have to pay charge of Rs 150 per person.
Charge for Pony service: Government approved rate is Rs 1800 per person from Gangotri Forest entry gate to Bhojbasa and back next day.
Though Rs 1800 rate is fixed by government but on an average this costs Rs 2500 because they will charge extra for luggage plus if you are little over over normal weight they will charge extra. Consider this about Rs 2500 per person.
Guide charge: We paid Rs 2500 to our guide, Ideally you should fix your guide day before the journey, if you want only porter you may get it at Rs 2000 for the complete journey.
In our case Guide demanded Rs 2500 for his service then Rs 1000 extra for his boarding and lodging - we paid Rs 3500 to him for this 2 day journey.
In this route most guides work as Guide cum porter but still you should clarify this with the guide.
Food availability: You can carry your own food or if you want to locally buy, you will get Maggie with tea at Chirbasa.
Operator of Chirbasa stall told me that he wants to start Dal rice as well but as of now its Maggie and Tea at cost of Rs 80 for Maggie and Rs 30 for a cup of Tea.
Food at Garhwal Mandal vikas Nigam Guest house Bhojbasa- They serve good and tasty food, though options are limited, only veg food available.
Dal, Bharta or Bhindi average one person serving costs Rs 170 to Rs 190.
Tea in morning - you can get it at 6 am in morning at Bhojbasa.
Places to stay between Gangotri to Gaumukh: Only place where you can stay is Bhojbasa, there are 2 options there GMVN , you need to do online booking. There is no place to stay at Gaumukh.
Per person stay cost Rs 350 excluding food.
Other option is there is a ashram near GMVN , you can stay there as well at cost of Rs 350 per person. This cost at Ashram includes food cost, they serve langar there.
Electricity at Bhojbasa - There is no electricity over there, GMVN guest house has a generator which they run every day evening for one and a half hour.
Mobile network: You will get mobile network only for 2 to 3 km during the start of the journey, then no network, even BSNL network was not there.
If there is some emergency, GMVN people liasons with the Army there and communicates wirelessly with Gangotri.
Things to carry: Enough woolens, raincoat, oxygen cylinder, you can get oxygen cylinder from gangotri medical shop by paying Rs 600 and if it is not used they will deduct Rs 100 or 200 and return the balance money.
Its not compulsory to carry oxygen cylinder but just on a safe side.
Should you have any other query, please read through frequently asked questions below.
FAQ -
Can i travel from Gangotri to Gaumukh and then come back on the same day to Gangotri.
Answer - Yes you can do that, as i did the same 6 years back when i went there with my wife but you need high physical fitness and good stamina. Though it is not advisable, as by the time you reach back Gangotri it will be dark.
Can i start trek early morning at 4 am?
Answer -No, Forest department allows entry from the gate at 6 am, to reach Forest entry gate you should start from you hotel or guest house at Gangotri at 5.30 am or 5.15 am..
Can i travel to Gaumukh in winters?
Answer - No - You can go there during May to Oct period only, during winters Gangotri National park is closed.
Benefit of taking guide?
Answer - He can guide you about danger zone, and give you good company. They are not professional guides, they were porters at some point of time and now have graduated themselves to guide.
Best time to travel to Gaumukh?
Answer - Mid august to end september. May and October will be cold. Though you can travel any time between May to Oct but avoid Monsoon time between June to July.
Is travel on Pony safe?
Answer - To my mind it is not advisable, because if you slip from Pony, it may badly hurt you or there may be a casualty too because it is steep below and passage is also small…
Though the number of travelers per day is limited so there is no crowd there but i will still suggest try walking down and you will love the journey.

Uttarkashi to Gangotri Dham | Uttarakhand Tourist places | Episode 6
This is Day 6 of our 30 day Uttarakhand Tour. In this episode you will see Sukhi Top, Harsil, Mukhba village and many other places of tourist interest.
We also got opportunity to explore taste of mountains, we stopped on the route to enjoy local food of hills. When you will travel on this route you will notice mind blowing scenic views, you should definitely keep buffer time to stop at these place and take some pics for memory of lifetime.
Journey from Uttarakashi to Harsil is packed with natural beauty of hills.
Biometric regitration: During the whole journey, no one checked our Bio metric registration. As understood by me, there are 2 reasons or need for biometric registration on the yatra route.
1st- It gives a rough estimate to government about how many people are there on the yatra route at any point of time. Though there is no entry gate or exit gate to check whether you have done it or not. They capture information like for how many days you are travelling and ofcourse your address details with id.
2nd reason - In an unlikely scenario, like the Kedarnath Dham 2013 incident where many people died because of natural calamilty, government would know the names and addresses of people who were there during the yatra route. This may not be 100 correct, unless they check it at entry and exit points of each Dham but still it will provide reasonable data. Something is better than nothing.
If you know of any 3rd reason for this, Do share the same in comment in this video.
Following are the details of places visited by us during this Day 6 tour.
Khedi Waterfall : This waterfall can be best enjoyed between June to Aug ie during rainy season but i will not suggest you to travel to hills during this time as its not safe, there may be landslides during this period.

Sukhi Village:
This is small village, generally nobody stops at this village because travellers stop at Ssukhi top whlich is one km from this village. Scenice views from Sukhi top are awesome.
We wanted to have local food, so we stopped here at this village. Dhaba where we had food is on the main road only at sukhil village.
Note : It is easier to get maggie on this route then to get Garhwali food, but yes they can serve it to you, provided you give them sometime. Actually i feel its so much about demand and supply. But yes i noticed some restaurants and dhaba on this route , have some options on local - pahadi food.

We did night stay at Gangotri, which is about 1 hour drive from Harsil. We stayed at Garhwal Mandal vikas Nigam property.
This is a lovely place to stay in Gangotri, You should do advance booking for staying at this guest house, staff is so much friendly and helpful that i got impressed.
