The 6-kilometer trek can be covered either on foot, by pony, or via palanquins. As you ascend, enjoy the serene views of the surrounding valleys and the majestic Himalayas. Upon reaching the Yamunotri Temple, take a dip in the sacred thermal springs of Surya Kund, believed to cleanse the soul of all sins.

I recently booked a two-week Europe trip through Unlock Holidays, and I must say it was the best vacation I've ever had! From the moment I made my first inquiry to the end of my trip, everything was seamless. The team took care of all the details, from flights to accommodation and tours. They even customized the itinerary to include places I wanted to visit in Paris and Rome.

Unlock Holidays helped me plan my first trip to India, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was a bit nervous about traveling to such a large and diverse country, but they took care of everything – from arranging local guides to ensuring smooth travel between cities. The itinerary was well-balanced, allowing us to explore the rich culture of Rajasthan, the spiritual charm of Varanasi, and the beautiful backwaters of Kerala.
