My travel to Gangotri, Kethernath & Badri

This is one part of the access road to gangotri

The view of the Gangotri temple (the white building in the center)

River from the mountains joining the river Ganges

The travel partner of the old man just had fallen in to the river and died (on the way to Guamukh). The man on the right is our guide.

This is the walk like to the source of Ganges, the place called Guamukh. It took 12 hours of tough 18Kms walk at a high altitude. Even my camera felt heavy.


A view from the last "basecamp" to Guamukh where i fell sick due to dehydration. At the background there was actually a beautiful mountain that looked like Kailash


People are resting at the last base camp.

"His appearance is that of a young man, fair, medium height and a strong slim body. His hair is long, lustrous and copper colored. A radiance emanates from him which is intense. The love that flows from him is physically felt. When you have attained the Divine it is truly beyond human comprehension." Badrinath has been sanctified for thousands of years, by the h ermitages of saints, yogis, rishis and siddhas, as well as by the presence of a great temple dedicated to Sri Badrinarayan (Lord Vishnu).
