Dharali - Village hidden in Orchards



Located at a distance of 3 kms from Harsil, a locality in Gangotri, Dharali is a small scenic village most welcoming for those exploring it. 



The village poses as a picture that has come to life, with apple orchards all around. Also famous for red beans cultivation, Dharali is a delight for the creatively inclined. 






A small picturesque village surrounded by pine trees, river Ganga gushing close by and a wonderful view of the majestic Himalayas — what more can one ask for? Just the perfect destination for a getaway!



Lord Shiva resides in an ancient temple in this village. Ancient stories believe that Bhagirath meditated in this place to get the Ganges out of the heaven to flow in to the earth. The temple stands to prove the incident.






There are small hotels in the village for accomodation . The village is on the main highway which goes to Gangotri.
There are also furnished tent houses but those belong to different hotel groups and you have to take the tour package so as to stay there .





Nearby interesting destinations include Mukhimath Temple, Tapovan, Gangotri, Vasuki Tal, Sat Tal and Chirbasa. The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport. The nearest railway station is at Rishikesh.
