Gangotri Dham is well connected by motor roads, buses and taxis from important places like Rishikesh, Dehradun, Uttarakhand and Tehri Garhwal. Before coming to visit the Gangotri temple, devotees must take a dip in the crystal clear water of the holy river before going to the main temple.
At the arrival of winter, Goddess Ganga prepares to leave for Mukhyamath temple in Mukhba village, 20km underwater. It takes place during the Diwali festival in October/November, amidst Vedic chants and solemn ceremonies. The goddess is brought back to the Gangotri temple with great joy and enthusiasm on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya in April/May. Visit this temple between April/May and June and September/October/November. Avoid rainy season as it is dangerous and not suitable for visiting.
