Overview
The Gangotri - Yamunotri Yatra covers the two western dhams of the Char Dham circuit - Yamunotri (source of the Yamuna) and Gangotri (source of the Ganga) - in Uttarkashi district. It is a scenic route through Mussoorie, Barkot, Uttarkashi and Harsil valley, and Gangotri is reachable by road with only a 6 km trek for Yamunotri. A typical trip takes 5 days from Haridwar.
- Yamunotri: Yamunotri (about 3,293 m) in Uttarkashi district is the source of the Yamuna river and the temple of Goddess Yamuna. The last stretch is a trek of about 6 km from Janki Chatti (pony / palki / pithu available). Surya Kund hot spring and Divya Shila are the main sights.
- Gangotri: Gangotri (about 3,100 m) is the seat of Goddess Ganga, where the Bhagirathi river is worshipped. The temple is close to the roadhead, so no major trek is needed. Bhagirath Shila and Surya Kund waterfall are nearby.
