Like other Dham of Chota Chardham Yatra 2020 sector Yamnotri Dham, Kedarnath and Badrinath Dham the all-weather road project construction is also at its highest pace. The roads have become wider and broad, along with the main route several alternate road routes have been developed. The Government is giving full attention and making efforts to ease the travel ensuring safety measure. Gangotri Temple is around 105 kms from Uttarkashi & 25 kms from Harsil.
The highway from Delhi to Haridwar & Dehradun is broad and wide. From Haridwar one can reach Gangotri either Via Rishikesh or Dehradun as well. From Dehradun to Gangotri the total travel distance is around 242 Kms and took around 9 hours.
From Dehradun its goes via Mussoorie, Chamba, Chinyali Saur, Dharasu, Uttarkashi, Maneri, Bhatwari, Harsil & Finally Gangotri.
From Haridwar, the route goes to Rishikesh, Narendra Nagar, Khari, Chamba, Chinyali Saur, Dharasu, Uttarkashi, Maneri, Bhatwari, Harsil & Gangotri. The distance from Haridwar to Gangotri is 285 Kms of appx 10 hours.
IMP Suggestion For the travelers who are on Chardham Yatra the route for next Dham i.e. Shri Kedarnath Dham diverted from Uttarkashi. Hence usually pilgrims make their halt around and the nearby small town of Uttarkashi like Naitala, Gangotri, Maneri, etc. Some guests also make their night stay at Harsil. However, it is always better to take stay nearby Uttrakashi because the drive to Shri Kedarnath is very long and hectic.
By Train: Nearest and major railheads are Haridwar & Rishikesh. One can take the train to Dehradun if anyone would like to travel from Dehradun. There are major trains from Pan India connecting to Haridwar. All trains pass from Haridwar either someone would like to go Dehradun or Rishikesh by train.
By Air: Jolly Grant Airport is the major airport for staring Gangotri Yatra. From Jolly grant airport Rishikesh is the nearest town which is around 20 kms & Dehradun is around 30 Kms. The airport has good number of flights connecting Delhi and during Chardham Yatra several flights start to operate from different major cities of India.
