Yamunotri Yatra – A Holy Beginning
Yamunotri, located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, is the first Dham of the Char Dham Yatra. The ancient and holy temple of Maa Yamuna blessings is situated here, where people come to seek her blessings. This is one such opportunity to receive the blessings of Maa Yamuna, which can bring both peace and success in life. Every year from May to October, the doors of Yamunotri are open for the pilgrims. During this time, a different kind of spiritual energy is felt in the whole area.

During the trekking you get to see:
