What Is the Yamunotri Gangotri Do Dham Yatra?
The Yamunotri Gangotri Do Dham Yatra is a pilgrimage covering Yamunotri Dham and Gangotri Dham in Uttarakhand.
Yamunotri is associated with Goddess Yamuna, while Gangotri is associated with Goddess Ganga. Both destinations are located in the Garhwal Himalayas and form an important part of pilgrimage travel in Uttarakhand.
This Do Dham route is a practical option for travellers who want to visit Yamunotri and Gangotri without undertaking the complete four-Dham circuit.
The two destinations also offer different travel experiences. Yamunotri requires a walking approach from the Janki Chatti side, while Gangotri is accessible by mountain road. Because of this, the journey should be planned with realistic travel times and some flexibility.
Yamunotri Gangotri Do Dham Yatra Route
A commonly planned route from Haridwar or Rishikesh is:
Haridwar/Rishikesh → Barkot → Janki Chatti → Yamunotri → Uttarkashi → Harsil → Gangotri → Uttarkashi → Haridwar/Rishikesh
The exact route and overnight halts can be modified according to the selected package.
For travellers starting from Delhi, additional travel time is required and the itinerary may need to be extended.
Detailed Yamunotri Gangotri Yatra Itinerary
Day 1: Haridwar/Rishikesh to Barkot
Route: Haridwar/Rishikesh → Barkot
Your pilgrimage begins with a drive towards Barkot through the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand.
Depending on the starting point, the journey can pass through Dehradun and the Mussoorie side before entering the Yamuna valley.
After reaching Barkot, check into the hotel and rest.
Overnight: Barkot
Travel Tip: Mountain driving can take longer than expected because of traffic, road conditions or weather. Avoid planning too many activities on the first day.
Day 2: Barkot – Janki Chatti – Yamunotri – Barkot
Route: Barkot → Janki Chatti → Yamunotri → Janki Chatti → Barkot
After an early breakfast, drive towards Janki Chatti.
The motorable journey ends around the Janki Chatti side, after which pilgrims continue towards Yamunotri by walking route or locally available assistance such as pony or palki, subject to current rules and availability.
Allow sufficient time for the uphill journey, darshan and return.
After visiting Yamunotri Dham, return to Janki Chatti and drive back towards Barkot.

Important Yamunotri Note
The Yamunotri approach can be physically demanding. Weather, crowd levels and individual fitness can affect the time required. Travellers should maintain a comfortable pace and avoid rushing.

Yamunotri Dham Travel Guide
Yamunotri Dham is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna and is located in the high Himalayan region of Uttarkashi district.

- Keep warm clothing available.
- Carry water and essential personal items.
- Start early whenever possible.
- Allow sufficient time for the return journey.
