Yamunotri Temple

One of the holy char dham pilgrimage temples, 19th-century Yamunotri Temple is near the source of the sacred Yamuna River, a 5km hike from the tiny village of Janki Chatti. At the temple there are several hot springs to take a dip, and others where pilgrims cook potatoes and rice as prasad. There are plenty of priests to help you make puja for a price.
