Gartang Gali Trek

Description

Gartang Gali Trek World’s Oldest Trek Route Gali in Uttarakhand Himalayas 

Gartang Gali Trek is situated at a distance of 90 km from Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand. This is a very old trek route street, which is a rare path made by cutting huge mountains, which is known as Gartang Gali. This bridge was built 150 years ago, which is the trade between China and Barhat Market Uttarkashi. There is a connecting trek route which was closed in 1962 after the Indo China War. But on 20th August it was reopened for trekkers and locals.

It is said that the Pathans, who came from Peshawar to Gartang Gali, built this difficult bridge 150 years ago at an altitude of 11000 feet. Gartang Gali Trek comes to Gangotri area in Uttarkashi district

The elderly people here say that before independence, the people of Uttarkashi district had built the Tibet track via Nelong Valley for trade with Tibet. This trek in Gangotri National Highway was prepared by cutting the steep and complex rocks near Bhairon Ghati, by laying an iron rod and laying wood on it. Through this route wool, leather cloth and salt were transported from Tibet to Badahat of Uttarkashi. This bridge gives an exciting view of the Nelang Valley.

About 150 meters long stairs of Gartang Gali are now visible in a new color. The stairs of Gartang Gali, built at an altitude of 11 thousand feet, are considered to be a unique example of engineering. Now this trek route has been re-opened for tourists. Keeping in mind the Corona guidelines and security, only 10 people will be sent on the bridge at a time.
