Our trek begins with a steep ascent. This is the Gangotri town, as seen from a point of rest. To the right is the Gangotri temple made of granite rock. A Gorkha Commander, Amar Singh Thapa constructed it in the early 18th century. Later the Maharaja of Jaipur rebuilt it. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess Ganga. It is said that some hundreds years back, the source of Ganga was in Gangotri.
