Gracing the banks of the Bhagirathi River, Gangotri Dham is also crossed by trekkers and mountaineers aiming to cover the 19 kms long Gaumukh Glacier Trek.

Famous for being the highest and the most important temple of goddess Ganga, a visit to this place is a once in a lifetime experience.

Best Time to Visit Gangotri

Gangotri trip can be a huge success if you know when it is the best time. The climatic conditions of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand can be very harsh and unpredictable, especially if you have not researched it before.

Being located at a high altitude, Gangotri Dham temple’s weather conditions are prone to volatile changes. All these factors make the months of May to early June the best time to visit Gangotri.

During these months, the weather remains pleasantly cool and chill with the day temperature running between 6 to 25 degree Celsius.

Pack wisely! Don’t skimp out on warm layers, thermal and woolen clothing to keep you warm not just at night but also during the day time.
