Why to travel Gangotri

Just the perfect destination to breath in a serene and pious atmosphere, Gangotri has the charm to attract people from all over. Being one of the main religious places among the Chota Char Dham pilgrimage areas is closely related to Goddess Ganga, the river that we know as The Ganges. The striking presence of the snow-clad mountains in the vicinity and the pure crystal clear water of the Ganges flowing around add to the sanctity of the place. One feels close to God in the high altitude of Gangotri. Vegan food dominates the culture and is available in the local food joints or Dhabas.
