and at the feet of these massive peaks lie the huge moraines on
the sides of Gangotri glacier. At the feet of these gorgeous peaks
is a snout, looking like the mouth of a cow from which Ganga
comes out. Many devotees take bath here which sends shivers
down the spine. The water is terribly cold.
I have been to Gaurnukh number of times and have stayed
there for number of days. Each experience has been different.
Evenings in the Gaumukh are pleasant expereince. The setting
sun converts peaks into molten gold which gradually changes
into red, pink and finally steel grey. And soon moonlight ecli-
pses the valley with the shine of silver. At this moment every-
thing is so quiet and silent except for the sound of flowing river,
breaking ice or occasional avalanches.
Here iternity walks in silence and time stops.
