About Gangotri

Located in the district of Uttarkashi, Gangotri is one of the popular pilgrimages of the Char Dhams of Uttarakhand. Resting on the banks of the river Bhagirathi, this holy site is situated at an altitude of 3, 048 mts above the sea level. This place attracts both nature and adventure lovers, as it has difficult terrains and snow clad peaks for trekking & a picturesque view of peaks for photographers and poets. The holy place is of great importance amongst Hindus. One can visit the place anytime, from May when the weather is pleasant till the day of Diwali, after which the weather becomes really freezing with heavy snowfall. According to the mythology and sayings of legends, this is the place where Lord Shiva was sitting, when he took Ganga in his matted locks to save the earth from floodings.
