Uttarkashi – Where the Mountains Echo with Mantras
Cradled in the lap of the Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarkashi is more than just a serene hill town it’s a sacred space where the rhythm of the Bhagirathi River meets the quiet intensity of spiritual practice. Known as the ‘Kashi of the North’, this town holds deep religious significance and is a key stop on the Char Dham Yatra, especially for those heading to Gangotri. At the heart of Uttarkashi lies the ancient Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and believed to be spiritually linked to the Kashi temple in Varanasi. Just nearby, the Shakti Temple, with its colossal trident, adds to the divine aura. Whether you're here for rituals, meditation, or quiet self-reflection, the town radiates peace and devotion. Nature lovers can enjoy the pristine surroundings dense deodar forests, mountain trails, and sparkling streams.
