Yamunotri questions
How long is the Yamunotri trek?
About 5 km each way from Janki Chatti, which is a 42 km drive from Barkot. The yatra treks up in the morning and back in the afternoon, with ponies and palkis available on the way.
What should I see at Yamunotri?
A dip in the Tapt Kund, then pooja and darshan of Shree Yamunotri Ji. Beside the temple are Surya Kund, the most important of its hot springs, and Divya Shila, the rock pillar worshipped before entering the shrine.
When does Yamunotri open and close in 2026?
Yamunotri opened on 19 April 2026 and is expected to close on 11 November 2026; the closing date is tentative. May to June and September to October are the best months.
How do I reach Yamunotri from Haridwar?
Haridwar to Barkot is about 220 km, seven to eight hours via Mussoorie, with a night at Barkot. The next day is the drive to Janki Chatti, the trek to the temple and back to Barkot.
Can I visit Yamunotri by helicopter?
Yes, on the Char Dham helicopter yatra: it flies from Sahastradhara in Dehradun to Kharsali, and the last 6 km from the helipad to the temple is by pony or palki. The full yatra is 5 nights and 6 days at ₹2,25,000 per person.
