Yamunotri Temple is situated in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand at an altitude of 3,293 meters (10,804 feet), near the source of the Yamuna River.
Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, one of the holiest rivers in India.
It is the first stop in the Char Dham Yatra circuit (Yamunotri → Gangotri → Kedarnath → Badrinath).
Built in the 19th century by Maharani Guleria of Jaipur, the temple holds mythological importance as the place where the Yamuna River originated from Champasar Glacier near Kalind Parvat.
You need to trek about 6 km from Janki Chatti to reach the temple.
Two sacred hot springs near the temple: Surya Kund (used to cook prasad—rice/potatoes in muslin cloth) and Yamuna Kund.
Opening Time: Akshaya Tritiya (April/May) to Diwali (Oct/Nov)
Winter Idol Relocation: The idol is shifted to Kharsali village during winter.
