Yamunotri
A must on every Hindu pilgrim's itinerary, Yamunotri is an highly significant
destination among the four Hindu shrines that constitute the Chardham Yatra
in the state of Uttarakhand. It is the source of the holy river Yamuna and
can be reached from popular towns like Rishikesh, Haridwar or Dehradun. The
temple at Yamunotri is at a distance of 6 km from Hanuman Chatti, a small
town in the Garhwal Himalayas. Visitors can cover this stretch either by
taking a pony/ horse ride or by hiring palanquins. The Yamunotri shrine is
also quite close to the Indo-Chinese border.
Between the months of May and October, Yamunotri invites hordes of tourists
as well as pilgrims from across the globe. The sacred place finds its
mention and has an important place in the Hindu mythology. Hindus believe
that it is the site where resided the ancient sage named Asit Muni. Hot
springs closely located from Yamunotri are a must-see for every visitor. The
hot water of the springs is also used by devotees to prepare rice and
potatoes to be offered at the Yamunotri shrine.
Not only with devotees and pilgrims, Yamunotri also invites an equal number
of trekking enthusiasts from all over. A trekking tour to Yamunotri is
wonderfully complemented by picturesque scenery including rugged peaks,
gurgling streams and dense alpine forests. Trekkers can first undertake a
journey to Hanumanchatti and then they can set off on a 13-km-long trek up
to the pilgrimage site of Yamunotri. The trekking route from Dodital to
YamuYamunotriotri is much popular with adventure seekers.

I had a fantastic experience with the Lakshdweep Travels. Their team was highly knowledgeable and organized, ensuring a smooth and memorable trip. They arranged excellent accommodations and guided us through the spiritual and scenic wonders of Haridwar. I was particularly impressed with their customer service and attention to detail. I highly recommend them for anyone planning a visit to this sacred city.

You can trust that Lakshdweep Tours will provide you with top-notch accommodations and service if you book a trip with them. The car was in excellent condition, as was the chauffeur. Our trip did not result in any major losses of money.
