Explore Gangotri: Places to Visit
Gangotri Temple
Gangotri Temple is one of the significant sightseeing places you must see during your Gangotri trip. Built in the 18th century, with fully white granite, this ancient Hindu temple is the abode of Goddess Ganga and is among the most-visited places in the country. Gangotri is part of the revered Char Dham pilgrimage circuit, which includes Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Many devotees undertake this pilgrimage to attain spiritual fulfilment and seek blessings from the deities at these sacred sites.
Gangotri Trek
A sought-after trekking trail in Uttarakhand, India, the Gangotri Tapovan Trek traverses through the scenic Garhwal region of the Himalayas. This trek takes you to the source of the holy river Ganga (Ganges) and offers breathtaking views of some of the most majestic peaks in the region, including the Shivling and Bhagirathi group of peaks. It's a rewarding adventure during the Gangotri trip for both experienced trekkers and those seeking a transformative journey amidst the majestic mountains.
Pandava Gufa
Located 1.5 km away from Gangotri, Pandava Gufa stands as an ancient natural cave nestled along the Uttarkashi - Gangotri Road. Legend has it that this cave served as a meditation site for the five Pandavas during the era of the Mahabharata, as they journeyed towards Kailash. To reach Pandava Gufa, visitors embark on a picturesque 1.5 km trek from Gangotri, surrounded by lush greenery, rugged hills, and the captivating beauty of nature's bounty.
Harsil
Many tourists embarking on the Gangotri Yatra prefer to lodge in Harsil, situated 25 km from Gangotri. Legend has it that the name Harsil originated from a dispute between the rivers Jalandhari and Bhagirathi over their significance. Lord Vishnu, or Hari, intervened by transforming into a massive stone to pacify their anger. Even today, after passing Harsil or Hari-Shila, the flow of these rivers becomes gentler. Harsil is renowned for its Rajma and apple orchards. The iconic Bollywood film 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' was shot here, particularly the famous scene featuring Mandakini under a waterfall, which now bears her name.
Kedartal
Kedartal, located just 18 km from Gangotri at an elevation of 4912 meters above sea level, ranks among the top trekking destinations for adventure enthusiasts near Gangotri Dham. Despite being a challenging trek, spanning 17 km from the main shrine of Gangotri, its allure lies in the breathtaking vistas of lush green valleys, towering Himalayan peaks, and serene streams that offer timeless joy to visitors, overshadowing the trek's difficulties. The irresistible beauty of Kedartal is further enhanced by the diverse wildlife it hosts, including Goral, Himalayan Black Bear, Bharal, and various bird species.
