Gangotri, the sacred source of the holy river Ganga, is a premier pilgrim town in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. As one of the core destinations of the Char Dham Yatra, it holds the most popular and important temple dedicated to Goddess Ganga. Havishe Travel offers professional Gangotri tour packages designed to help you experience this miracle of nature and spiritual heartland with luxury facilities and expert guidance at an affordable cost.
