The Journey of Alaknanda River | Origins of GANGA: Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- Alaknanda is one of the two headstreams of the river Ganga / Ganges, the lifeline of India.
Other one is Bhagirathi, and a similar video about Bhagirathi can be watched here:
• The Journey of Alaknan...
-
QUICK NOTE: The photo of Rudraprayag shown in the video at 08:16 is actually of Devprayag. Had a little file management error, I guess. Sorry about that!
-
Like Ganga, Alaknanda has a massive influence in the region it flows around and has shaped the history and culture, as well as the terrain of this particular tract of Himalayas.
Alaknanda flows in the hilly region of Garhwal division for the entirety of its 195 km long course. It originates at the confluence of Satopanth and Bhagirath Kharak Glacier in high Himalayas close to Badrinath-Mana, meets with 4 major tributaries ahead creating four of the five Panch Prayag in the process. At the fifth one, Alaknanda meets Bhagirathi at Devprayag at the end of its course, the river ahead is called Ganga.
This video takes you on a journey from the source to the destination, with a lot more in between.
Enjoy!

This video makes me believe that life is unfair. You channel deserves million+ subscribers. The representation & the content is all top notch. All the very best!
Thanks
We can help by sharing links :)
The thought you wrote is significant. Others maybe diverted. Goodness stays hidden for the protection of it to continue.
For someone who despite being from plains..has Uttarakhand deep in her heart..I sincerely thank you for making this video:)
There are many mountain ranges in India..something in valleys of uttarakhand is truly divine.
Thanks 🙏🙌
Thanks!
अपना उत्तराखंड सबसे सुंदर है। कितना भी दूर रहुं,हर पल मन में यही होता कि कब जाऊंगा।

हमारी देवभूमि है ही इतनी खुबसूरत 😍😍😍😍
I think this is the best informative video I have ever seen on TH-cam.
Impressive work from the creator combining history, geography and ritual values together.
You should be brand ambassador for Uttarakhand tourism.
प्रिय हर्षित, मैं आपके सभी वीडियो देखता हूं, और नए का इंतजार रहता है. आपका काम बहुत पसंद आया. बहुत जानकारीपूर्ण और शोधपूर्ण सामग्री देते हो अच्छा लगता है. आपकी उम्र के अधिकांश युवा आज बस व्लॉग बनाते दिखते हैं वहीं आप बहुत मेहनत से काम की चीज दे रहे हो, इसलिए भी आपको पसंद करता हूं. आपको बहुत सारी शुभकामनाएं है, यदि आपके किसी काम आ पाया तो खुशी होगी.
Dhanyawad!
As a history enthusiast, I am always keen to know about the major river systems of my motherland, Uttarakhand💓. Your videos are amazing, from historic background to cultural importance, altitude to geographical accuracy and beautiful illustrations & pictures, everything is so perfectly compiled🙌❤️
Thank you so much..
Thanks!
Bhai bhagirathi Nadi ke itihas k bare m bhi ek video bnao
Yes, that is the plan
Just brilliant.
Bringing history, geography, culture while showing amazing graphics, scenic views and quoting sources like Atkinson.
Well done boy, Well done!
बहुत खूबसूरती से मां गंगा के उदगम का वर्णन किया हैं आपने,अलकनंदा की उदगम और उसके सहायक नदियों का बहुत ही बढ़िया वीडियो बनाया आपने,धन्यवाद जय मां गंगे 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ohh man this is amazing - Story, 3D Map Animation, Davinchi Tutorial. Recently I did Jaipur To Kanyakumari travel on foot 👣 2700 km solo on road 101 day's completed.
Great job!
I have never seen such a quality content with a lot of information. Every bit of information is to the point and without wasting any time.
Thanks!
Chopta route is not only the shortest route from Kedarnath to Badrinath, most importantly, it is the traditional route used for thousands of years to reach from Kedarnath to Badrinath! My Bharat. My Pride!🙏💪🇮🇳
Visited Badrinath yesterday. Travelled by road from Gupt Kashi to Badrinath. And thanks to this video I can appreciate this journey n the little villages we saw on the road. Thanks buddy
भाई आप बहुत अच्छी वीडियो बनाते हो ऐसे है। जिससे
हमारा ज्ञान भी बड़ता है और मनोरंजन भी हो जाता है ।
Dhanyawad!
काफी सरल एवं बहुत ज्ञानवर्धक वीडियो हमेशा इंतजार रहता है !
Thanks!
आपने जो इस वीडियो में जानकारी दी है वो हमे बहुत मेहनत के बाद भी नही मिल पाती बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद आगे ऐसे ही उत्तराखंड और हिमाचल प्रदेश के टूरिस्ट प्लेस की जानकारी दीजिए।
What a wonderful blend of Geography, History AND scriptures!! Plus the Hindi, damnn I loved it!
The production values are truly world class here😍. I just love your visual style, and can't get enough of it, combining soft, fuzzy and colourful 3D visuals with remastered historical paintings, photos, maps and engravings.
This video however felt too dense, and pacing was a bit hard to follow (even if I'm already familiar with many of the mentioned places).
Overall, each and every second of this video is a testimony to the sheer hard work and research this must've taken. I really hope it gets the audience it deserves 🤩.
Thankyou very much!
Lakshit is right--amazing amount of knowledge in a short span of time 🕰️ due to unique visual style of presentation!
Wonderful knowledge, thanks
मैं आपके वीडियो की सामग्री से बहुत प्रभावित हूं। आपकी आवाज की गुणवत्ता और स्पष्ट हिंदी उच्चारण भी काबिले तारीफ है।
Waha kya baat hai...every word spread facination and mystic experience 🙏
Thanks!
Excellent naration. You took me my remembrance of my trip to Gomukh, Kedar and Bhadrinath. Alaknanda was really good sight in Bhadrinath flow very forceful with a roar. Jayaram
I feel very grateful when you make videos about Himalayas in anyway. The Nanda Devi Sanctuary one is my all time favourite video.
As a Himalayan enthusiasts it's my dream or motive to visit the origin of both bhagirathi and alaknanda along with their tributaries. Few weeks ago i completed the half of the dream which is Bhagirathi origin and with the sense of extreme joy and determination I'm in hope and excited for Alaknanda and Dhauli ganga ( which can be a little hard to reach basudhara tal) but fingers crossed.
Really appreciate the hard work you put in to make these video editing, gathering information, script which is so good that one do not need visuals.
You're doing great. 🙌
I too went to Gaumukh this June. It was best day of my life standing there and watching Ganga Maiya. My next goal is to see Nanda Devi from Kauri pass. Then I’ll go to the origin of Alaknanda.
Thankyou very much!
Bhut wait kra diya bro vdo k liye kbse wait krra tha bhai ji ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹mja aa gya bro देर आए दुरुस्त आए
Thanks!!
I'm from Garhwal you very well presented this 🎉🍾 kudos
Very nicely explained. I just completed kedarnath badrinath yatra and filled water from Rudraprayag sangam. The meeting of 2 different rivers are amazing 👏 😍
This channel should have 400 crore subscribers. Hats off to you for such a detailed and vivid imagery.
Thankyou very much!
But that is half the population of the world.
@@HarshitRautela yes everyone in the world should know Bharat's rich history and culture. Your videos are of top quality. Keep it up! You should pursue to cover topics from entire India.
भाई का कार्य अतुलनीय है ❤
Thank you so much for making this video ❣️❣️ this was much needed. The narration is so simple and accurate with amazing visuals for understanding... GREAT WORK!!! KEEP IT UP!!!
I just visited badrinath ji few days back. Must say what a beautiful presentation you have made. Wish could watch this video before my visit. It's wonderful

Excellent information. I am in army and spent 3years here. Your video was so informative I got to remember my memories. Such beautiful places and rivers. Thanks dear
Amazing work, Harshit! I can only imagine the hard work you’ve put in to this. Please keep making more!
Thanks!
Delivering premium and informative content as always! 💯💯💯
Also that sarcastic tone you make when delivering a punch (like the one at the end of Madho Singh Bhandari story) is too good 😂🔥
Thankyou!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hats off to your Harshit, a lot of efforts are put in. It's not at all easy to make such informative and engaging content. Keep it up dear! Best wishes. Proud of our Uttrakhand
Thanks for making this video. You have explained geographical features as well as historical importance. I always wanted correct and detailed description of the uttrakhand state. Your this videos has cleared my many confusions also satisfied waves of queries in mind.
Although i muslim but i just love the stories behind all those mandirs in himalayas and ganga . its just gives me peace vibe
Although most of the facts regarding Alaknanda drainage system were known to me but the visuals included in the piece were really helpful. You have made a good use of technology to bring home the facts about Alaknanda drainage system.
Thanks!
Great video. Puts it all in perspective. Also the interspersion of history is nice and THANK YOU for english subtitles.
your art of story telling is exceptional . the whole geography got stuck in my mind
Amazing brother.... kya knowledge share kiya apne. Really maja aa gaya. 😊👏
Everything every single frame of this video is just perfect 🤩
Wow!! Nicely explained...so combining of all the powerful rivers finally become Maa Ganga🙏
Commendable...it feels really nice to know that someone is so invested and work hard to share such details, information 👍👍👍
The amount of hardwork you have put in terms of content and the visuals is just so commendable . This is how our current and coming generations are going to learn much more than their history books with black and white pictures. Hats off to you and I hope you get many million subscribers. Keep up the amazing work 👏
Thanks!
