Gangotri Yatra by Helicopter

The gleaming white Dham of Gangotri is known for being the seat of Goddess Ganga. Situated at an elevation of 3,100 meters above sea level and surrounded by the snow-clad mountain peaks of the greater Himalayan region, this Dham is one of the most celebrated of all the Char Dham sites of Uttarakhand. Sitting by the banks of the holy river Bhagirathi, the natural beauty, grace, and elegance of this place still remain incomparable.

History of Gangotri Dham:

It is believed that the stunning white temple of Goddess Ganga marks the spot where the holiest river in both the heavenly and earthly realms descended. This iconic event took place after the intense penance performed by King Bhagirath for his great-grandfather and his other ancestors, who had not attained moksha even after several years. After performing deep penance with devotion, the goddess in heaven agreed to descend to Earth to wash away the ashes of his ancestors and grant them moksha.
