At Surya Kund the Bhagirathi plunges through a narrow gorge in the rock just below Gangotri. Gauri Kund lies on the other side of the small iron bridge, and both are a short walk from the temple. Not to be confused with Surya Kund at Yamunotri or Gaurikund near Kedarnath.

  • Address: Gangotri, Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand
  • How to Reach: About 500 m from the Gangotri temple, near the iron bridge.
