Uttarakhand is a fragile ecological zone. Our programmes also focus on rural communities and livelihood issues such as water scarcity, falling crop yields, fuel wood and fodder scarcity, drudgery for women and children, poor nutrition and the forced migration of men and boys for employment. We support the educational activities of rural schools, NGOs and community-based organisations throughout Uttarakhand.

This support takes the form of training programmes, discussion meetings, supply of teaching/learning materials, village and school visits for on-the-spot guidance and problem-solving honoraria of pre-school teachers, and small project grants. The aim of these activities is to help people understand their surroundings from a broad ecological point of view and encourage them to organise themselves to deal with environmental problems that affect their daily lives, and provide training in technical know-how and practical skills.


Dayara Bugyals - Trek to Dayara Bugyals is one of the less known & most spectacular and impressive treks of the Gangotri Region. In the local dialect, Bugyal means ?high altitude meadow?. In other words, Dayara Bugyal is to Uttaranchal what Khajjiar (Dalhousie) is to Himachal Pradesh. Perched near Bhatwari on the Uttarkashi-Gangotri (27 km. from Uttarkashi) highway, Dayara Bugyal is a most unspoilt wonder.

During winters it provides excellent ski slopes over an area of 28 sq. km. On this trek, you will traverse this great Himalayan range and appreciate the sheer geographic diversity ? from the verdant, forested valleys and the flowered meadows (thatch) carpeted with wildflowers. Combine this with an interest in the variety of birds, wildlife, forest and wildflowers and the opportunity to view the many snow-capped peaks and you have all the ingredients for a highly rewarding trekking holiday even for the most laid-back person.

After camp I, the route is a lovely gradual traverse climbing to Dayara Bugyal. Fantastic views of the Himalayan range.

From Gaumukh to Tapovan, trekkers traverse along the Gangotri and Chatturangini Glaciers. Camp can be pitched at the junction of Chatturangini and Bhagirathi Gangotri Glaciers. From Tapovan, the views of Shivling, Bhagirathi, Sudarshana, Thaley Sagar, Thelu peaks and Kedar Dome are a fabulous sight. The trek to Tapovan from Nandanvan involves crossing the Gangotri Glacier and traversing a rocky face before arriving at the meadows of Tapoban (meditating ground), a green lush valley in the summers confined by the many named and unnamed peaks of the Garhwal Himalaya.

While Gangotri itself is at a height of 3,048 metres (10,000 ft) the glacier is at a height of 4,225 metres (13,960 ft). Set in the heart of the peak, the glistening glacier varies, often in colour, from shades of blue and green to white. Starting from beyond the Chaukhamba cluster of snow peaks, in the neighbourhood of Badrinath, it extends to Gaumukh 14 kilometres (10 miles) northeast of Gangotri. Explorers, however, believe that (Gaumukh) is not the source, as only a few hundred yards from the Gaumukh snout, the Ganga can be seen in a liquid state near Nandanvan. They believe that either the Gangotri peak or the Narayan Parvat is the main source.

Post Breakfast, drive to Gangotri
Trek to Bhojbasa [3792M]
Starting with an easy climb, the route is filled with unexpected delights as the gorgeous and magnificent scenery unfolds itself with every step. Five kilometers from Gangotri, clothed in the greenery of the pines and close to the imposing pillars of glacial clay, is Chirbasa.

An excellent camping spot, it affords a stunning glimpse of the gigantic Gaumukh glacier, along with the other tributary glistening white glaciers. Just before entering Gaumukh, one passes through Bhojbasa where there is a forest of Bhoj-Patra trees. Bhojbasa is 4 km from Chirbasa and around 5 km before Gaumukh and is used mostly as a night halt.

Meals: - (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Explore the Bhujbasa & Gaumukh

Though devoid of any religious significance, Tapovan has attracted travelers and trekkers since time immemorial only because of its sheer captivating beauty with the Gangotri glacier falling thousands of feet below, melting as Bhagirathi at Gaumukh.

The Shivling peak [6,543 m] rises from one side, high and austere, flanked by Meru and Kedardome. The peaks of Bhagirathi and Sudarshan from the other side of the glacier. Situated at the feet of so many peaks, Tapovan is well situated as a base camp for mountaineers.
