Gangotri, nestled by the magnificent Garhwal hills is a major pilgrim destination of religious minded Hindus. According to mythological legend, the temple at Gangotri marks the spot where Lord Bhagirath worshipped Lord Shiva. God was pleased with his penance and in keeping with his wishes granted that Ganges would descend on earth. It was here that the holy river touched the earth. However if anyone is interested in witnessing the precise source of this holy river, he needs to plan a Tour to Gaumukh.
After reaching Gangotri, it is not possible to reach Gaumukh by any public means of transportation. The roads are not conducive for any kind of vehicles. Trekking or riding on ponies are the only two options at hand. However trekking here is sure to be thoroughly enjoyed by all nature and adventure lovers.
