The quaint and serene getaway of Harsil is situated in the district of Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand and is one of the least known getaway destination. The nature here is so pristine complete with a gently flowing river through it and views of the snow bound mountain peaks. This village is extremely picturesque and offers not only photographers but film makers as well with an opportunity to utilize this untouched beauty and make it a part of their artistic ventures. But what has Bollywood to do with this information? The famous 1980s blockbuster Bollywood movie of ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’, was shot here where this Himalayan village was displayed in an extremely brilliant manner. After being in the spotlight for a while the popularity of this quaint hamlet faded into oblivion and was only left out as a pilgrimage town near Badrinath.
The enchanting peaks of the Himalayas overlook this magnificent village with the holy Bhagirathi River making its way through this tranquil valley. It offers you the opportunity to explore some of the most serene environment and has all the ingredients to make it an ideal hill station in India. Currently with the changing tourism trends a lot of people are making their way to Harsil where they can find their peace of mind and breathe in the refreshingly rejuvenating air that Falls en route Chardham Yatra. Mostly people come here to leave the bustle of the city life behind and drench themselves in some peaceful serenity.
Currently the biopic shooting for Narendra Modi starring Vivek Oberoi is taking place in Harsil. This is being done in order to recreate the time when Narendra Modi had actually visited this remarkably charming town in November to celebrate Diwali with the soldiers there who are serving at the Indo – China border. People cannot wait to see this scene in the movie since it successfully displays the real beauty of Harsil that remains unmatched to anywhere else in Uttarakhand. After this people are expecting that the popularity of this place will increase with time.
Earlier one movie was shot in Harsil which had propelled it to popularity in the tourism sector. This movie was Rajiv Kapoor and Mandakini Starrer ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’, which displayed on screen the wonderful beauty of Bagori Village in Harsil. The humble setting and the peaceful lifestyle here along with the clear flowing river was showcased wonderfully in the movie. Harsil received a lot of attention after the movie shooting but however with newer and more popular hill tourist destinations this quiet hill town was pushed back until the biopic on Narendra Modi was shot currently in 2019.
This hidden jewel of Harsil has been recognized for being the ‘Switzerland of India’ and several roadways and accommodation facilities have been developed keeping in mind the tourist and Pilgrims influx in this region.
