Harsil - Gangotri drive in western Himalaya: One of the most picturesque drives along Ganges river

The drive from Harsil to Gangotri in the western Himalaya offers one of the most picturesque routes along the Ganges River. The scenery is dominated by a monoculture of Deodar forests, with a steep re‑entrant ravine cutting down a hill slope between cedar forests on either side, and rough stone and glacial rockfall debris cascading down the chute. Aerial views capture the blue‑green Ganga winding through the Uttarakhand inner Himalaya.
