Source of the Sacred Ganges with Shadow of the Mighty Shivling
SOURCE OF THE SACRED GANGES WITH SHADOW OF THE MIGHTY SHIVLING This trek and tour visits a remote and highly spectacular part of the Indian Himalaya. Garhwal, celebrated in Hindu mythology and religion is locally known as the ‘Abode of the Gods’. In this massif, beyond the Hindu shrine at Gangotri, the mighty Ganges River has its source. Emerging from a glacier, this great river rushes down to the plains in a torrential flurry. Our itinerary includes two short treks. The first trek is a warm up and takes us off the beaten track from the small village of Raithal to Dayara Bugyal “Nature's Own Gardens” and Bakaria Top for great panoramic views of the Garhwal Himalaya. We then move on to Gangotri where the trek starts from Gangotri Temple, dedicated to Mother Goddess Ganga on the bank of Bhagirathi River which is the main tributary of Ganga River. Winding through Bhojbasa, Gaumukh source of the Sacred Ganges, and continue trek to The massif overlooks the sprawling meadow of Tapovan at 4,463 meters, which is considered as one of the alpine meadows in India and is crisscrossed by several small streams and dotted with flowering plants. And where Shivaling and other mighty peaks are almost close enough to touch. We also visit the holy town of Haridwar where the River Ganges exits the Himalayan foothills, Rishikesh on the banks of the Ganges located in the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India, it is known as the 'Gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas' and 'Yoga Capital of the World'.

The Himalaya and Our Future

The Occasional Publication series is published for the India International Centre by Cmde. (Retd.) R. Datta. Designed and produced by FACET Design. Tel.: 91-11-24616720, 24624336. The Himalaya and Our Future Himalaya, the ‘abode of snow’ and the ‘largest physical mass on earth’, is home to a geological, geographical, biological diversity and a multitude of human concerns and constructs—from hunting–gathering communities to agrarian societies to the economies of modern trade and industry. This mountain system has evolved a distinctive ecology that has become the basis for the existence of the natural as well as cultural systems of South Asia. It surprisingly connects the tropical rain forests of Myanmar, Arunachal and Bhutan with the sparse and cold semi-deserts of the Ladakh–Karakoram region, and the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra plains with the Tibetan plateau. The contrasting Himalayan collage makes it different from other mountain systems. The Himalaya stands like a sub-continental arc. In so many ways, it is dynamic and active. The existence of the people of South Asia is deeply connected with it. Its geology teaches us about continental drift, the disappearing of the Tethys Sea, or about its own rising height, still on-going, or yet, about its own peculiar nature which hides within itself dynamism and seismicity—the mother of all earthquakes.

National Geographic Traveller INDIA 97 the Destination Uttarakhand
THE DESTINATION UTTARAKHAND The climb towards Mayali Pass, a 16,400-high crossing A HYMN connecting Bhilangana and Mandakini valleys, is a vision in white. It is the third mountain crossing on the challenging Auden’s Col trek that begins in Gangotri and ends at FOR THE Kedarnath, in Uttarakhand. NON- BELIEVER Lessons in belief and beauty on an arduous Himalayan trek across Auden’s Col in Uttarakhand TEXT & PHOTOGRAPHS BY NEELIMA VALLANGI MAY 2018 | NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELLER INDIA 97 THE DESTINATION UttARAKHAND An aura of despair hung inside the quivering tent where six of us were huddled late in the afternoon. A snowstorm raged on outside, in a desolate glacial valley surrounded by Himalayan peaks. A few kilometers ahead of us, obscured by the blizzard, lay Auden’s Col, a daunting mountain pass deep in the hallowed mountains of Uttarakhand. Suddenly, one of our guides, Happy Negi, peeked into our tent, and offered hot halwa as prasad with a reassuring smile, unperturbed by the lashing snow and freezing winds. Our frayed nerves began to calm down; after all, these prayers had worked so well over the past six days. Last June six others and I were attempting to cross the col, an 18,000-foot saddle between the Gangotri and Jogin peaks that provides a rare passage from Gangotri to Kedarnath. Owing to Sunsets are stunning at The triangular peak the tough terrain and a long trudge across a crevasse-ridden the Kedarkhadak campsite of Thalay Sagar in Kedarganga valley. looms over Kedartal. glacier, few have attempted the trek to this pass after it was first crossed in 1939 by John Bicknell Auden, an English geologist and explorer then working with Geological Survey of India.

BA (P) GEOGRAPHY DISCIPLE SEMESTER VI GEOGRAPHY of TOURISM Introduction the Himalayas Are the Pride of the Asia Pacific Region T
BA (P) GEOGRAPHY DISCIPLE SEMESTER VI GEOGRAPHY OF TOURISM Unit 5: Tourism in India: Tourism Infrastructure; Case Studies of Himalaya, Desert and Coastal and Heritage; National Tourism Policy Introduction The Himalayas are the pride of the Asia Pacific region that is poised for a dramatic tourism growth. Himalayas are one of the youngest mountain ranges in the world evolving since the Jurassic Era (80 million years ago) and epitomise a civilisational identity that goes back to the dawn of history. If these majestic mountains were not there, the climate of the entire Indian subcontinent specifically and of Asia would have been entirely different Himalayas -Geographical Division Nanga Parbat in the west stretching for over 2,000-kilometers to the mountains bordering Sikkim and Bhutan in the east, divides the Main Himalayan mountain range from the Indian. The Western Himalayas forming part of this range divide Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh from Ladakh. Nun and Kun are the highest mountains of this part. The North Sonarmarg and Amarnath ranges form part of the Himalayas in Kashmir. Eastern Himalyas extends across the Baraiacha range in Himachal Pradesh before merging with the Parbati range to the east of Kullu valley. They extend across the Kinnar Kailash to the Swargarohini and Bandarpunch ranges in Uttaranchal defined by the snow capped Gangotri glacier and Nanda Devi, the highest mountain in the Indian Himalaya. Richly endowed by Nature these mountains are primarily responsible for evoking nature worship and the conservation ethic. Ironically today these abodes of divinity are seriously threatened by those very human beings who worshipped them in awe.
