Overview

Yamunotri packages range from a simple 1N/2D weekend to a full Char Dham Yatra. The 4N/5D Do Dham (Yamunotri + Gangotri) is the most popular standalone option — both shrines are in the same district (Uttarkashi), open on the same day (Akshaya Tritiya), and combine naturally in a single loop from Haridwar.

Do Dham: Yamunotri + Gangotri	4N/5D	₹11,000–₹18,000	Both Uttarkashi Char Dham
Do Dham + Gaumukh	5N/6D	₹14,000–₹22,000	Trekkers + pilgrims

Travel Tips

Arrange horse/palanquin within the package: Ask your tour operator to pre-arrange horse booking at Janki Chatti. Some operators have tie-ups with horse handlers and can secure a horse at the fixed government rate without the morning queue scramble. Worth asking when booking.
September Do Dham packages are best value: Same route, same quality, 10–20% cheaper than May. Yamunotri trail quieter, Gangotri less crowded, accommodation available without weeks of advance booking. September is the sweet spot for the Do Dham.

Accommodation in Packages

Budget: GMVN properties or basic private hotels. Clean, functional.
Standard: GMVN deluxe or better private hotels. Attached bathroom, hot water.
Homestay option: We offer packages with Barkot-area family homestay for the Yamunotri night. Add ₹300–₹600/person. See homestays.
