Gangotri, nestled in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand near the Shivalik range, is one of the holiest Hindu pilgrimage sites. It sits at the base of the Gangotri Glacier and along the Bhagirathi River. On a Gangotri Yatra, devotees can witness the sacred Ganga, Bhagirathi, and several divine idols. Gangotri Dham marks the origin of the River Ganga and honors Goddess Ganga. Gaumukh, the source of the Ganga River, is just 19 km from Gangotri. Other notable spots include Bhagirath Shila and Pandava Gufa.
