Gangotri Package

Beyond its natural beauty, Gangotri is renowned as a significant pilgrimage site in India, drawing a multitude of religious devotees. What makes it truly iconic is the Gangotri glacier, the birthplace of the holy River Ganges.
It marks the very point where the river Ganga, after its origin from the Gangotri glacier, meets the Earth's surface for the first time. Speaking of the glacier, the Gangotri glacier proudly stands as the second longest glacier in the Himalayas, following only the Siachen glacier.
