The Bhagirathi group of 3 peaks are located in the Gangotri Valley of Garhwal Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The peaks rise right above the Gangotri glacier and the river Bhagirathi(which is later known as the Ganga) that flows underneath and emerges out of Gaumukh (the source of the Ganga). The region abounds in spiritual energy and also offers the right mix of challenges and adventure to both trekkers and mountaineers. Negotiating the Gangotri glacier is no mean task as it is full of crevasses and the glacier changes its nature very frequently. All 3 peaks have the same Base Camp.
Base Camp: Nandanvan (4400m)
Advance Base Camp: (4800m)
Camp I: Altitude 5300m
Summit Camp: Altitude 5800m
Summit: Altitude 6512m
