Yamunotri Temple

The first temple visit for the char dham yatra is the temple of Yamunotri dedicated to goddess yamuna in garhwal himalyas. The chief attraction at Yamunotri is the temple devoted to the Goddess Yamuna and the holy thermal springs at Janki Chatti. Yamunotri is the starting point of the holy River Yamuna. It is the westernmost shrine in the Garhwal range of the Himalayas, balanced on the borders of Bandar-Poonch Parvat. The main attraction at Yamunotri is the temple dedicated to Goddess Yamuna and the holy thermal Sulphur springs, almost 7 km away at Jankichatti. The actual source of the river is a frozen lake (Sapt Rishi Kund) and glacier called the Champasar Glacier, situated on the Kalind Mountain, approximately a kilometer from the Sulphur springs. Since the route to the glacier is arduous and almost unapproachable for common pilgrims, they offer ‘Puja' in the temple itself.
