Gangotri Tour Package

Situated at an altitude of 3,048, on the banks of the holy river Bhagirathi, Gangotri is considered the second dham in the chardham package. It is the highest and the most important shire of goddess Ganga. The present temple was built by Amar Singh Thapa, a Gorkha General in the 18th century and is worshipped as the source of Ganges. Although, the source of Ganges, gaumukh is 18 km from Gangotri and can only be reached by a trek route.

Gangotri offers scenic vistas of gushing water, rugged terrain and snow clad Himalayas. Gangotri holds a very important place in the Hindu Mythology. It is believed that Lord Shiva received Ganga in his matted locks when the river descended from Heaven to earth. There is a natural rock shivling submerged under water and can be seen easily in winters when the water levels decrease. The Gangoti temple is closed on the day of Diwali for the winters because the region receives heavy snowfalls and becomes inaccessible. The temple is opened in May.
