Where To Stay in Gangotri
Gangotri is divided into two areas, which are on either side of the river. Most of the nicer places are on the opposite side of the river from the temple and bus stop. Most of the places in town are fairly basic and can be totally booked by the late afternoon. Later in the day you may have to take whatever you can, at any price. If you plan to stay for a few days, you can take whatever is available the first night and get a nicer room the next morning. You should expect to pay more here than other places in India.

The best place in town is the Nigam Tourist Lodge, near the bus stand, which has dorm beds and rooms. It is best to book a room here a week in advance. The popular Ganga Niketan, by the bridge and across the river, has double rooms. It is a decent place. The Birla Mangal Niketan, near Ganga Niketan, has big rooms with attached bath. There are many basic no-name places in town.

Meat is banned in Gangotri. The open air eating place at the Ganga Niketan and the Manisha restaurant, pass the bus stand going out of town, are decent places. There are just basic eating places here.
