Yamunotri Dham Yatra, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, is a revered pilgrimage site dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. Pilgrims undertake a 6 km trek from Janki Chatti to reach the temple, which sits at an elevation of 3,291 meters. The journey is spiritually enriching, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery.
The temple opens on Akshaya Tritiya in May and closes after Diwali in November. Key attractions include the sacred Yamunotri Temple, the steaming Surya Kund hot spring, and the Divya Shila rock pillar, where devotees offer prayers before entering the temple. The trek to Saptarishi Kund, the actual source of the Yamuna River, is a challenging yet rewarding experience for those seeking deeper spiritual connection.
Visitors should prepare for the yatra by carrying warm clothing, rain gear, and essential medical supplies. The best times to visit are from May to June and September to November when the weather is favorable for trekking and pilgrimage activities.
