What Makes
Bhojbasa Trek Unique
Bhojbasa isn’t a trek itself, but a key stage on the unforgettable Gaumukh Tapovan trek. Its remoteness, reachable only after a challenging 14km hike, and high altitude of nearly 3800 meters offer a taste of true Himalayan adventure. Unlike a typical trek, Bhojbasa isn’t the final stop, but a rewarding stopover. Here, surrounded by dramatic scenery and snow-capped peaks, you acclimatize for the push towards Gaumukh, the source of the holy Ganges.
