Yamunotri
|
|
The Shrine of
Yamunotri, source of river Yamuna is situated in the direction
opposite to Gangotri and the road bifurcates and goes to
Yamunotri from Dharasu, a place between Rishikesh and
Uttarkashi. Yamunotri can also be visited via Mussoorie and
Barkot.
|
 |
| Situated at an
elevation of 3235 mts. above sea - level, the shrine of
Yamunotri is one of the 'Four Dhams' od Uttranchal. The source
of Yamuna lies about one km. ahead at an altitude of about
4421 mts. The approach is extremely difficult and pilgrims
therefore offer pooja at temple itself. |
|
|
There is one hot
spring does to the temple, a bath in them is very refreshing
after a tedious 13 kms. trek from Hanumanchatti or 5 kms. from
Janki Chatti.
