@Jhon: I went on the journey to the char dham and trekking my way up the steep hills of yamunotri and never ending misty hills of kedarnath had a toll on me.The place is so Serene and beautiful i do wish to again, and if possible will try to trek to gau mukh..thanks for the info…

If you are looking for spirituality with hint of adventure i would suggest you should trek up the Gau Mukh or mouth of ganga, the glacier and origin of the river ganga. The trek is 17 kms north to the gangotri and may take upto 2 days for a round trip. But if god would have want to make replica of the path that leads to heaven than it would be just like trek leading to gau mukh

I had been for the yatra 3 years back and i would say one should go atleast once in lifetime to experience the spirituality and explore the beauty of this majestic pilgrim. On reaching Yamunotri i was filled with joy and happiness of reaching temple after trekking my way up the steep slopes, at gangotri after bathing in holy ganga i experienced divinity and purity, once inside the walls of age old kedarnath temple i felt disconnected to the worlds desire, hardships and experience tranquility like never before and at Badrinath temple it was like one big celebration..

One thing about these four dhams that amaze me is their geographical uniqueness..As you drive your way to yamunotri you will notice emerald green stream make its way between the two steep lush green hills, the roads that lead to badrinath are surronded by dark black rock cliff and crystal clear white water flows adjacent to the road reflecting the color of lord Vithoba worshiped here, and when you are trekking your way up to the kedarnath i would say do not carry a water bottle in the rucksack rather drink directly form the natural waterfalls and springs as you will find them at every quarter mile.
