💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in government-run pilgrim hostels or dharamshala accommodations near the temple instead of private hotels to save 60-70% on lodging costs while experiencing authentic pilgrim culture.
📅 May to June and September to October are ideal for visiting Gangotri when weather is pleasant and the temple is fully accessible. Winter months (November-March) bring heavy snowfall and temple closure, making summer and early autumn the best choice for most travelers.
🛂 Indian citizens holding a valid Indian passport do not require any visa or special permits to visit Gangotri. A national ID card or passport is sufficient for travel within India.
