About the Yamunotri:
A Trek to Yamunotri is by far one of the best experiences to have in the Garhwal Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. The adventure, excitement, the essence of un-altered natural surroundings, and so much more. Starting in Dehradun, this 3-day trekking adventure is neither extensive nor demanding, making it the ideal activity for amateurs and experienced trekkers alike.
The Yamunotri Trek tour will begin with your arrivals in Dehradun, from where you would travel to the starting point of the trek Jankichatti. Along the way, robust sceneries and lekker weather would put you at ease and give you a taste of the regional landscape. The next day would conclude the actual trek of 12 kilometres in total, before the trip coming to an end on day three.
The best time for you to experience this feat would be during the summer months of May and June, or the fall/winter season between September till November, where you will be welcomed to stark opposite prospects of vivid wilderness and serene snow.
