Places To Visit Nearby Gangotri Dham

Maneri

92 km from Gangotri. It has lately emerged as a place of tourist interest as a result of the construction of a dam across the Bhagirathi river, from where the water is fed to the turbines through an 8 km long tunnel at Tiloth in Uttarkashi. The resultant lake at Maneri has added to the charm of the place.

Kedar Tal

A crystal clear and transparent lake giving a feel of the chill waters, Kedar Tal is a spectacular creation of God.
