Then proceeding to Gangotri (legendary, this sacred site needs no introduction. Dignified, the temple stands surrounded by the great peaks and giant pines rich in history. Devotees will be entranced.) Next to Kedarnath (the abode of Lord Shiva, built by the Pandavas, the simple stone shrine also houses one of the 12 sacred Jyotirlingas). Finally to Badrinath (no pilgrimage is complete until one has visited this beautiful and awe-inspiring sacred temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu).
