Devdaar Cottage

Hotel in Gangotri, Uttarakhand

The Most Loved Budget Hotel in Gangotri

Tucked beneath towering Devdar (Deodar) cedar trees at an altitude of 3,415 metres, Devdaar Cottage is more than a hotel in Gangotri — it is a sanctuary for the soul. Whether you are a devout pilgrim on the Char Dham Yatra or an adventurer chasing the glaciers of Gaumukh, our cottage welcomes you with warmth.

We believe that a great stay in Gangotri should combine comfortable beds, hot water, nourishing food, and — most importantly — the peace that only the Himalayas can offer. Our rooms are thoughtfully designed to blend simplicity with comfort.

As one of the best-positioned hotels in Gangotri, we are just minutes from the sacred Gangotri Temple, the origin of the holy Ganga (Bhagirathi River), and the trailhead to Gaumukh glacier.

Complete Guide

Hotels in Gangotri — Everything You Need to Know

Finding the right hotel in Gangotri can make or break your pilgrimage or trekking experience. Gangotri, situated at 3,415 metres in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, receives pilgrims and trekkers only during the open season (May to November). Accommodation options range from basic dharamshalas to comfortable cottage-style hotels like Devdaar Cottage.

What to Look for in a Hotel in Gangotri

When choosing a hotel in Gangotri, altitude-related factors matter significantly. Look for:

  • 24-hour hot water — essential at 3,400m altitude
  • Heated rooms — even in May and October, nights can be freezing
  • Proximity to Gangotri Temple — for early morning darshan without long walks
  • In-house meals — restaurants in Gangotri close early; cottages with meal service are preferable
  • Reliable electricity — load shedding is common; backup is important

Best Time to Book a Hotel in Gangotri

  • The Gangotri Temple typically opens on Akshaya Tritiya (April/May) and closes on Diwali (October/November). The peak season for hotels in Gangotri is May–June and September–October. During peak season, advance booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead is strongly recommended.

    July and August bring heavy monsoon rains and frequent landslides on the Rishikesh–Gangotri highway. Hotels remain open, but road conditions can be unpredictable.

How to Reach Gangotri

  • Gangotri is approximately 100 km from Uttarkashi and around 250 km from Rishikesh. The journey from Rishikesh takes 8–10 hours by road. Key routes pass through Chamba, Uttarkashi, and Harsil. Shared jeeps and private taxis are available from Uttarkashi to Gangotri.

    The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun (approximately 270 km away). The nearest railway station is Rishikesh.
