About Gartang Gali Uttarakhand

The Gartang Gali Trek is a part of Gangotri National Park in the picturesque Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. It lies 90 km away from Uttarkashi town on the Gangotri National Highway between Lanka and Bhairon Ghati.

As the Gartang Gali was built cutting the granite rock out of a steep cliff, it offers breathtaking views of the surroundings. You are sure to enjoy the vistas of the rugged Himalayan terrain and the gurgling Jadh Ganga river that flows through the valley. The Jadh Ganga later meets the Bhagirathi river at the confluence near the Lanka bridge. 

The highlight of the Gartang Gali Trek is the magnificent stairways that were prepared by cutting the steep and complex granite of a vertical rock face near Bhairon Ghati. The stairways were then made by laying an iron rod and laying wood on it. The 136-meter-long mountain staircase is a true engineering marvel, carved into the rocky terrain. Therefore, this Gartang Gali 

It’s been painstakingly reconstructed, and it’s a challenge even for the most adventurous person. The bridge is 1.8 meters wide and stands at an altitude of 3,352 meters, or 11,000 feet. It hangs from a rocky edge and overlooks the amazing Nelong Valley below, and the surrounding flora and fauna. As you walk across it, it’s like you’re on air, and you can feel the river rushing by.

This Gartang Gali bridge is said to be the one that Austrian climber, Heinrich Harrer, used to escape from India during World War II and make his way to Tibet. His story was later turned into a Hollywood movie starring Brad Pitt called “Seven Years in Tibet”.
