Tapovan

Tapovan is a high-altitude alpine meadow located above the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, at about 4,463 metres elevation. Situated beyond Gaumukh, the snout of the Gangotri Glacier, it is reached by a strenuous trek from Gangotri via Chirbasa and Bhojwasa. Notable for its vast grasslands, views of Shivling, Bhagirathi peaks and the glacier, it is a base for trekking and meditation.
