Suryakund waterfall

Suryakund - astoundingly beautifull place. It is a waterfall in [Gangotri] city, which is in 19 kilometers from the Ganga source ([Goumukh]).



"Surya" is a god of sun. In the morning this place looks tremendous. Intense streams of a river cause huge amount of splashes, they look incredeble in sunlight. "Kund" means "chalice" or "cup".



For many thousands of years the rapid river washed rocks and gave them unique shapes. Its not a surpruse that we made a lot of photos.



We found this place accidentally - on the way to one good hotel in which we stayed before goind to [Goumukh]. In order to enjoy the magic beauty of Suryakund turn right before row of shopping stalls leading to the temple.
