The Gangotri Dham Yatra, which will be held in 2026, is a highly religious pilgrimage to the holy origin of the sacred River Ganga. Gangotri Dham is among the four holy places of Char Dham Yatra and is situated in the majestic Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand and is of an unparalleled significance to the Hindu faith. It is located at a high altitude, has unpredictable weather and a limited time of travel and hence pilgrims have to be very careful about planning their visit.
This is a guide to all that you should know before you embark on the Gangotri Yatra in 2026.
Book Gangotri Yatra
Gangotri Dham is located in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand at an approximate height of 3,100-10,200 feet above sea level. It is worshipped as the location where the River Ganga came down to the Earth following the intensive penance of king Bhagirath. Gangotri is an ideal spiritual place amidst snow-clad mountains, deodar, and clean valleys. Temperatures are very low in winter making the temple open within a couple of months a year.
The Gangotri Temple is devoted to Goddess Ganga, who is revered as the divine remover of sins. The Hindu faith says that a dip in the sacred waters of the Ganga, which starts at Gangotri, assists the devotees to attain spiritual purification and salvation. The temple forms a vital part of the Char Dham Yatra and it represents the origin of life, purity and devotion. According to pilgrims, each ritual done here has a high level of spiritual value.
Gangotri Dham is closely connected with the old Hindu texts. The current temple was developed during the 18th century by Gorkha General Amar Singh Thapa, but the spiritual importance of the site is thousands of years old. It is a myth that Lord Shiva loosened the powerful Ganga off his locks here in order to spare Earth the devastation. Gangotri has been a place of worship, meditation and penance over centuries.
The date of the opening of the Gangotri Temple in 2026 will be announced on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya. The temple is traditionally opened during the end of April or the beginning of May and closed during the period of Bhai Dooj, at the end of October or beginning of November.
Official dates should also be checked by pilgrims in advance.
