Overview

Harsil is a scenic village nestled along the banks of the Bhagirathi River in Uttarakhand, at an elevation of 9,005 feet (2,745 meters). It is located enroute to the famous Hindu pilgrimage site of Gangotri. This picturesque village also serves as a cantonment area, surrounded by dense forests of Deodar, Pine, and Oak trees, and is adjacent to the Gangotri National Park.

Tucked at the base of a mountain and near the river, Harsil offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its stunning landscapes make it one of Uttarakhand's top offbeat destinations, ideal for travellers seeking peace and solitude. In addition to its natural beauty, Harsil is renowned for producing some of the finest apples in India. The village's breathtaking scenery has earned it the nickname "Mini Switzerland of India."

Previously, visiting Harsil required a special permit from Uttarkashi, and foreign tourists were restricted to day trips due to regulations imposed after the India-China war in 1962. However, these restrictions have been lifted in recent years, and visitors can now freely explore Harsil without the need for permits.
