Begin Your Char Dham Yatra from Yamunotri – The Sacred Source of the Yamuna
The divine Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand begins with Yamunotri, the origin of the holy Yamuna River and the first stop on the sacred circuit. Nestled in the lap of the Garhwal Himalayas, Yamunotri is not just a place—it’s a spiritual gateway that sets the tone for the rest of your pilgrimage.
With Cab 4 Trip, start your Char Dham journey with reliable cabs, expert hill drivers, and a seamless travel experience from cities like Delhi, Haridwar, or Dehradun.
🌼 Why Visit Yamunotri?
Yamunotri Temple, situated at an altitude of 3,293 meters, is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, the daughter of Surya Dev (Sun God) and sister of Yama (God of Death). The temple marks the origin of the River Yamuna, which is considered the giver of life and salvation.
According to legend, a bath in the icy waters of Yamunotri absolves sins and protects one from untimely death. Due to its sacred importance, Yamunotri is the first Dham visited during the pilgrimage.
