Gangotri in Images

From Uttarkashi we started early for the journey of char-dham to Gangotri - the place of origin of the holy river Ganga. It is roughly 100 kms from Uttarkashi and takes an approximate time of 3 hours to reach.  Gangotri is a small town centered around the temple of Gangotri Temple which is cuddled in the heart of Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand and is located close to Indo-Tibetian border.  The way to Gangotri is a beautiful experience. Here is the first thing that caught our attention. I shot this picture from my car through the mirror. A huge flock of sheep passing on the road with few men and women running after them to guide. As we progressed we witnessed snow clad mountains far across. Stopped over to have the feel and clicked few snaps. Beautiful aren't they? Needs no words to explain the beauty of these Himalayan peaks.   An army base camp near Gangotri. These Jawans are always ready to work at extreme climatic conditions. Hats
