GARTANG GALI (Skywalk Bridge ) AND A HIDDEN PARADISE | NELONG VALLEY UTTARAKHAND | MAI HU RAHI
WELCOME TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE MAI HU RAHI
Gartang Gali is situated at a distance of 90 km from Uttarkashi. Gartang Gali bridge was built in 150 years ago, which was closed since 1962.
This wooden step bridge route named Gartang Gali was closed after the Indo-China war, but now it was neing opened for tourists. Pathans who came from Peshawar built this bridge 150 years ago at an height of 11000 ft.
Gartang Gali 136 m long bridge is now renovated at a cost of 64 lakh rupees. Before independence, the Tibet track was built through Uttarkashi via Nelang Valley for trade with Tibet. The track had prepared by burying an iron rod and laying wood over it in the steep cliff area near Bhaiaghati.
Gartang Gali bridge offers an exciting view of the Nelong Valley. Initially there was trade between India and Tibet through this bridge. Range officer of Gangotri National Park Mr. Pratap Singh Panwar, has said that the area is rich in flora and wildlife and rare animals such as snow leopard and Himalayan Blue Sheep.
Importance of Gartang Gali
In Gartang Gali near Bhairav valley, a wooden terraced track has been made by cutting the steep rocks. It was connected in ancient times to the village Jadung, Nelang, living in the frontier area, through foot route from Harshil area. Local people also used to trade with Tibet through this route. The army also used this route to monitor the border.
Gartang Gali is one of the oldest trade routes from where wool, jaggery and spices etc. are sent. Such trade and related activities were a source of livelihood for the Bhutia community in Uttarkashi.
Gartang Gali is a very narrow and risky road. The closure after the Indo-China war of 1962 caused it to become dilapidated due to lack of care. Gartang Gali Bridge has been a tourist attraction since the commencement of tourism activities in Nelang Valley. Now the government is going to make it a tourist destination.
