Gaumukh trek, which is located in Gangotri National Park in Uttarakhand opens every year by April end week or May first week.

This year the Gaumukh Trek will open up by May 4, 2024. The trek route could have been opened up by April end week but due to late snowfall this year, some glacier patches are still on the route near Bhanglu Basa and Kachi Dhaang. A team went for reccy around April 24, 2024. They evaluated the trek and repair work that needed to be done. The repair work is ongoing and will likely be completed by May 4, 2024.

      Gaumukh Trek is within Gangotri National Park and National Park closes around November 30 every year. On 1st week of November Gaumukh can be done but remember it will be really cold. Staying option in Bhojbasa are GMVN Bhojbasa and Lala Baba Ashram.
