Harsil · Gangotri Temple · Gaumukh View
Gangotri, where the Ganga first touches the earth, sits at 3,048 m in one of the most beautiful settings anywhere in India. The Bhagirathi thunders past the silver-spired temple while the apple orchards and pine forests of Harsil line the road in. A holy dip here is bracingly cold and unforgettable. Our 3-day Gangotri yatra from Dehradun keeps the pace gentle and the views constant.
