Gangotri Chardham Yatra
Dedicated to Goddess Ganga, the Gangotri chardham yatra is located above 3100 meters of sea level. A popular Hindu pilgrim site, the Gangotri dham is the origin of river Ganga. It is believed that is here that river Ganges was originated when Lord Shiva released the river from the lock of his hair. An integral part of the chardham yatra circuit, the gangotri chardham is an important spiritual destination for chardham pilgrims.
Situated in Uttarkashi district in Uttrakhand, the Gangotri temple has been built by Amar Singh Thapa, a Gurkha general, in the nineteenth century. The gangotri char dham is often visited after yamunotri chardham yatra. The gangotri yamumotri chardham yatra is one of the significant pilgrim visits for any Hindu visiting Badrinath Kedarnath dham.
As pilgrims move from yamunotri chardham yatra located in the western region of Garhwal hills for Gangorti char dham, Uttarkashi is the base camp. It takes 4hours by road to reach the temple from Uttarkashi. However, the Gangotri temple is closed after Diwali up to April. During this time, the deities are carried and kept for worship at the Mukhba village, near Harsil.
An exciting tourist spot, the extreme weather conditions, however, make it unfavorable for tourist to visit any of the chardham sites during the winters. Thus, pilgrims need to properly plan the trip before visiting any of these places.
