About Gangotri
Gangotri, at 3,100 m on the banks of the Bhagirathi, marks the spot where King Bhagirath's penance brought Maa Ganga to earth. The white granite temple built by the Gorkha general Amar Singh Thapa sits amid deodar forests and snow peaks, 18 km below the Gaumukh glacier — the true source of the Ganga.
