Bhagirathi River, a tributary of
river Ganges, originates at the snout of a glacier located at
Gaumukh. It streams through spectacular surroundings until it gets to
Deoprayag, where it joins with the
Alaknanda River to become the Ganges. The river is recognized as one of the most challenging white water rivers in the
Himalayas. Rafting or kayaking trips are arranged on the river, from
Uttarkashi to Deoprayag.
