Gangotri to  Bojwasa

Gangotri is situated at the height of 3100mt in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand.

Walking along the river Bhagirathi and the massive mountain views the can be seen as soon as you start walking is a paradise for all who are spiritual and for those for whom trekking in itself is spiritual.
