Gangotri, nestled in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, India, is a revered pilgrimage site and a natural wonder. It is one of the four sacred Char Dham sites and is considered the origin of the holy River Ganges. The town is situated at an altitude of 3,100 meters in the Garhwal Himalayas, surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks and lush greenery. The Gangotri Temple, dedicated to Goddess Ganga, is the focal point of the town, attracting thousands of devotees and tourists annually. According to Hindu mythology, it is here that King Bhagirath worshipped Lord Shiva to bring the Ganges down to earth to purify the ashes of his ancestors. The river is known as Bhagirathi at its source and becomes the Ganges after merging with the Alaknanda at Devprayag. The region is also a gateway to several trekking routes, including the challenging trek to Gaumukh, the actual source of the Ganges. Gangotri's serene environment, spiritual significance, and breathtaking landscapes make it a must-visit destination for both pilgrims and nature enthusiasts.
