While coming back from Gangotri we halted at Uttarkashi. Uttarkashi is about 100 kms from Gangotri which took about 5 hours of painful bus journey. Uttarkashi is steep down from Gangotri. While Gangotri is about 3200 mtrs above sea level Uttarkashi about 1200 mtrs above sea level.
Uttarkashi is located on the banks of river Bhagirathi (Ganga). It is sorrounded by Himalayan Mountains at all sides. We stayed in Birla dharmashala near the bus stand. There is a hanging bridge on the river which helps people to move from one side of the river to the other. The views of Uttarkashi can be best viewed from this hanging bridge. The main attraction of Uttarkashi is Vishwanath Temple. The temple, although small, is as famous as the Vishwanath temple of Varanasi. Ekadasha Rudra temple is another important temple where there are eleven Lingas inside the temple.
