About Jadh Ganga Valley

Carved by the raging turquoise torrents of the Jadh Ganga River near the Indo-Tibetan border in Uttarkashi, this dramatic canyon realm showcases some of the most spectacular rock-cut engineering and barren high-altitude desert landscapes in India. It is home to the historic 150-year-old cliffside cantilever bridge of Gartang Gali, the forbidden wilderness of Nelang Valley, and ancient trade routes that once connected Garhwal with Tibet.
