Overview
Yamunotri, the sacred source of the Yamuna River, is one of the four revered Char Dham pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand. Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, this divine destination is home to the Yamunotri Temple, dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. The journey to Yamunotri is filled with breathtaking landscapes, serene valleys, and the thrill of a moderate trek. Pilgrims also visit the Surya Kund, a natural hot spring where devotees cook rice as an offering to the deity.
We provide a well-organized pilgrimage and trekking experience, ensuring a comfortable and spiritually fulfilling journey.
