Govt to regulate tourist flow to Gongotri glaciers

Sadanand Kamath · Mar 31st, 2008, 15:45

The Mumbai edition of The Times of India has carried a report that the Uttarakhand Govt. has decided to restrict the number of tourists visiting Gomukh and other Gongotri glaciers to only 150 per day. The new regulation will come into effect from the next season beginning April.

The Govt. personnels should have now think about giving preferrence towards the visitors - pilgrim (70% are polluters) or trekkers (most are nature lovers). It seems they are more interested to give preferrence to the pilgrims and earn more money.

The restictions on tourists apply only for visits to Gomukh and other glaciers in Gongotri regions where very few pilgrims visit these places. The restrictions may affect the trekkers planning to trek Gomukh-Tapovan-Nandanvan-Kalindikhal in future.
