Maneri

India /Uttarakhand /Uttarkashi /Gangotri

Sight Address : Maneri is situated about 13 kms close to Uttarkashi enroute to Gangotri. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Maneri is the latest entrant in the list of tourist attractions around Gangotri. The main attraction here is the dam built across river Bhagirathi where the water is channeled to turbines through an 8 km long tunnel built at Tiloth at Uttarkashi. If you plan to approach Maneri from Gangotri, you have to travel a short distance of 92 kms. A wiser idea would be to plan a trip to Maneri after covering places in and around Uttarkashi, on your way back to Gangotri. The added attraction to Maneri is the beautiful lake developed as a result of the dam.
