Early morning after breakfast, drive to Jankichatti / Phoolchatti and start the trek to Yamunotri (4 km) (either by walk, horse, or doli at own cost).

Yamunotri Temple: Maharani Gularia of Jaipur built the temple in the 19th century. It was destroyed twice in the present century and rebuilt again.

Morning after breakfast, drive to Uttarkashi. Check into the hotel upon arrival in Uttarkashi. Visit the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Uttarkashi. Overnight stay at Uttarkashi.

Uttarkashi: It is home to several ashrams and temples. The town's name reflects its similarity to and location (north of) the city of Kashi (Varanasi). Like Varanasi, the town of Uttarkashi is also situated on the banks of River Ganga.
Early morning, drive to Gangotri, and en route to Gangnani, take a holy dip in Garam Kund. Further, drive to Gangotri.

Mythology describes how when the Pandava brothers were searching for a glimpse of Shiva, Shivji first concealed himself at Guptkashi but fled further up the valley to Kedarnath. The Kedarnath pandas (priests) live in Guptkashi during the winter months. After the Kedarnath temple closes for winter, the image of Kedarnath passes through Guptkashi on its way to Ukhimath, where it stays for the winter.

Kedarnath: The Kedarnath shrine, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, is a scenic spot against the majestic Kedarnath range. Kedar is another name for Lord Shiva. According to legend, the Pandavas sought blessings from Lord Shiva for redemption after the Kurukshetra war.

Nandkumar's Trip to Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Madurai, Kodaikanal, Rameshwaram

5 /5

(Written on 14 Jan, 2025)

What's Good: I'm delighted to share my exceptional experience with Welgreen Kerala Holidays, expertly managed by Mr. George. Our customized tour package exceeded our expectations, blending comf (Read More)ort and memorable experiences. Hotel selections were impressive: Hotel Sea View at Kanyakumari offered breathtaking sunrise views and delicious food. Hotel Germanus in Madurai, Hotel Soma Palmshore in Kovalam, and Hotel Taika in Rameshwaram provided pleasant stays with good food and courteous staff. The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available. Some valuable tips for future travelers: verify temple timings and dress code regulations in advance to optimize your itinerary. Ladies can find lovely, affordable sarees and dress materials. Engaging local drivers or guides can also enhance your experience. Mr. George and Welgreen Kerala Holidays deserve 100% marks for crafting an unforgettable trip with thoughtful hotel choices and a well-planned itinerary. Nandkumar Mhatre (9987570704) Accompanied by Suhas Halbe from MumbaiĀ andĀ Pune.
What's Not Good: The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available and no more activities at the shore. Rather we would have preferred to stay in a hotel and take long ride of houseboat in the afternoon to late evening would have better.
