This is Day 6 of our 30 day Uttarakhand Tour. In this episode you will see Sukhi Top, Harsil, Mukhba village and many other places of tourist interest.
We also got opportunity to explore taste of mountains, we stopped on the route to enjoy local food of hills. When you will travel on this route you will notice mind blowing scenic views, you should definitely keep buffer time to stop at these place and take some pics for memory of lifetime.
Journey from Uttarakashi to Harsil is packed with natural beauty of hills.
Biometric regitration: During the whole journey, no one checked our Bio metric registration. As understood by me, there are 2 reasons or need for biometric registration on the yatra route.
1st- It gives a rough estimate to government about how many people are there on the yatra route at any point of time. Though there is no entry gate or exit gate to check whether you have done it or not. They capture information like for how many days you are travelling and ofcourse your address details with id.
2nd reason - In an unlikely scenario, like the Kedarnath Dham 2013 incident where many people died because of natural calamilty, government would know the names and addresses of people who were there during the yatra route. This may not be 100 correct, unless they check it at entry and exit points of each Dham but still it will provide reasonable data. Something is better than nothing.
If you know of any 3rd reason for this, Do share the same in comment in this video.
Following are the details of places visited by us during this Day 6 tour.
Khedi Waterfall : This waterfall can be best enjoyed between June to Aug ie during rainy season but i will not suggest you to travel to hills during this time as its not safe, there may be landslides during this period.

Sukhi Village:
This is small village, generally nobody stops at this village because travellers stop at Ssukhi top whlich is one km from this village. Scenice views from Sukhi top are awesome.
We wanted to have local food, so we stopped here at this village. Dhaba where we had food is on the main road only at sukhil village.
Note : It is easier to get maggie on this route then to get Garhwali food, but yes they can serve it to you, provided you give them sometime. Actually i feel its so much about demand and supply. But yes i noticed some restaurants and dhaba on this route , have some options on local - pahadi food.

We did night stay at Gangotri, which is about 1 hour drive from Harsil. We stayed at Garhwal Mandal vikas Nigam property.
This is a lovely place to stay in Gangotri, You should do advance booking for staying at this guest house, staff is so much friendly and helpful that i got impressed.
