Haridwar to Gangotri by Force Urbania
10 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Haridwar to Gangotri tempo traveller pilgrimage traces the sacred Bhagirathi River to its origin at the Gaumukh Glacier. Travel via Rishikesh, Tehri, and Uttarkashi on NH94 through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the Garhwal Himalayas. The route passes the massive Tehri Dam — one of the tallest dams in the world — and the ancient town of Uttarkashi, home to the Vishwanath Temple and Nehru Mountaineering Institute. Beyond Uttarkashi, the road follows the roaring Bhagirathi through narrow gorges flanked by towering deodar and pine forests. Gangotri Temple (3,100m), dedicated to Goddess Ganga, sits beside the thundering river with the Sudarshan and Bhagirathi peaks as a majestic backdrop. The 18 km Gaumukh trek from Gangotri to the actual glacier source is a bucket-list experience for adventurous groups. Harsil village, just 25 km before Gangotri, is a hidden gem with apple orchards and Bollywood history — the song "Bekhudi Mein Sanam" from the movie Haseena Maan Jaayegi was filmed here.
In short
A force urbania from Haridwar to Gangotri costs ₹25 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 270 km and about 9-10 hours of driving.

A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
