The Gaumukh Tapovan Trek leading to Tapovan meadow, which also serves as a base camp for further expeditions for trekkers. This 2.5 kms trek from Gaumukh can be steep and full of rocks and boulders, but the climb is worth the effort. Tapovan is popular among trekkers for its spritual vibe as it is also home to ascetics.

मल्या खोला भवान सिंघा नौना मा गे पुजे छो।

बलि प्रथा मनुष्य की हिंसक अभिव्यक्ति का परिणाम है, हिंसा उसी से की जा सकती है जो अपेक्षाकृत कमज़ोर हो। हिंसा मानव-मन में इतनी गहरी प्रविष्ट है कि वह धार्मिक अनुष्ठान का हिस्सा बन गई। था तो मानव जानवर ही इसलिए मानव का हिंसक होना विस्मयकारी नहीं है। मानव- विकास के इतिहास में अनेक बुद्ध पुरुषों ने मानव- चेतना के ऊध्वर्गमन पर अपनी ऊर्जा व्यय की है, उन्होंने चेतना को सर्वोच्च तल प्रदान करके मोक्ष का द्वार खोला। आज का मानव जानवर नहीं कहा जा सकता, आज का मानव न केवल सभ्य अपितु विकसित मानव है। यूरोप से मानवाधिकारों की गूँज समूचे विश्व में फैली, आधा विश्व लोकतांत्रिक हो गया। आज के समय में जानवरों के प्रति हमारा कर्तव्य, जानवरों के अधिकारों पर हमें विचार करना चाहिए।

जानवर भी ईश्वर की अभिव्यक्ति है, हम ईश्वर की अभिव्यक्ति को अपनी रूढ़ी धारणाओं और नीच स्वार्थ के लिए अपमानित नहीं कर सकते। आज के समय ��ें ईश्वर के नाम पर हो रहे पापाचार समाज की बड़ी समस्या बन गई है, इस पापाचार से मुक्ति की युक्ति हमें खोजनी पड़ेगी।

प्रेम एक असाध्य मर्ज़ है, जिसका समाधान न दवाओं में है और न दुआओं में ही। समाधान यदि कहीं है तो वह है निज प्रेमी-आलिंगन में। मगर प्रेमी ही जब विमुख हो जाए तो फिर समाधान उसी तरह धूमिल हो जाते हैं जैसे हाइवे के किनारे सूनी पड़ी इमारत के शीशे धूल से धूमिल हो जाते हैं। निज प्रेमी-मिलन की बरसात निज जीवन को रेगिस्तान समझती है, निज प्रेमी के अतिरिक्त प्रेम मर्ज़ की औषधि नहीं, इसलिए तड़पने से अच्छा मर जाना ही हितकर लगता है। उसी तरह मर जाना जैसे परवाना शमा में जलकर मर जाता है, मछली पानी बिन मर जाती है, चातक बरसा जल बिना मर जाता है तथा गरजती, टकराती नदी समुद्र में समाकर समाप्त हो जाती है।
