Magnificently couching amongst the royal Garhwal hills of Himalaya, the Gangotri temple is elevated at an altitude of 3048 meters above the sea level. It is located at the northernmost part of Uttarakhand state and is very near to Indo-Tibetan border in Uttrakashi district. The summers are relatively cool and winters are freezing cold, with rains in the months of May and June. For the devotees, the doors to Gangotri Dham are open only in the months of May to November.

It is being believed that to absolve the sins of King Bhagirath’s sons, Goddess Ganga descended in earth and so is also called Bhagirathi and the origin is called Gangotri that literally means, “Ganga Utari= Gangotri”.

One can witness a natural rock “Shivling”, submerged in the river is an amazing sight reinforcing the power of divinity. It is the same spot where Lord Shiva received the strong waves of river Ganga in his matted locks. The picturesque pilgrimage in the hinterlands of the Himalayas is the most sacred spot where Ganga, the stream of life, touched earth for the first time.

Gangotri tour offers you a visit to the 18th century Gangotri temple which is an exquisite 20 ft high structure made of white granite and people can come here to catch the holy glimpse of Goddess Ganga which is one of the form of Shakti(power). A single sacred dip to this river will wash away all their sins which is the believed myth in Hindu religion.
