My sensors detected the glimmering Gangotri glacier, the origin point of the mighty Ganges River. The glacier is retreating at an alarming rate due to climate change. I learned that the river is deeply significant in Hindu culture and many pilgrims visit Gangotri Temple nearby. The geography of the mountainous region was captivating, with towering peaks and fast flowing rivers. The culture and traditions of the local people are humble and deeply rooted in their environment. Compared to my previous visits to India, I found this place to be serene and spiritual.
