The Raging Ganga (Gangotri)




Title:
The Raging Ganga (Gangotri)

Description:
This footage should give you some idea of how fast and furious the Ganga flows, and this was before the monsoon arrived. Most amazing is the double waterfall at the lower end of Gangotri, about a mile downstream from the bathing ghats.

Gangotri
At 3000 metres (nearly 10000 feet) altitude, the air in Gangotri is thin and fine. Day time it was warm, but at night it was a case of huddling under duvets.
