The origin of the Ganga River is from which of the following?
Gangotri Glacier
The Ganga originates from the Gangotri Glacier in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, where it emerges at Gaumukh as the Bhagirathi.
The Bhagirathi joins the Alaknanda at Devprayag, and from there the combined stream is called the Ganga.
Siachen Glacier (Karakoram) feeds the Nubra river, Zemu Glacier (Sikkim) feeds the Teesta, and Pindari Glacier (Uttarakhand) is the source of the Pindar river.
Hence, the answer is Gangotri Glacier.
