Barkot Weather: Generally pleasant in summer, with 25–30°C. In winter, the days are pleasantly cool, but the nights are cold, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 5°C.
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). After taking a bath in Jamunabai Kund's warm water and having Darshan of "Yamunaji," return to Jankichatti by trek. Later, drive back to Barkot after check-out from the hotel. Overnight stay at Barkot.

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

At Yamunotri: One can cook rice by packing it in a cloth and dipping it in the hot water of the Taptkund. Pilgrims take this cooked rice home as "Prasad." Near the temple, Pooja can be offered to Divya Shila.

Divya Shila: A rock pillar worshipped before entering the Yamunotri Temple.
Yamunotri Weather: In summer, the maximum temperature is 18°C, and the minimum is 10°C. The days are pleasantly cool, but the nights are cold.
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.

On arrival at Shree Gangotri, take a holy dip in the sacred Ganges, also called Bhagirathi at its origin. Perform Pooja and Darshan, then relax in the lovely surroundings. Later, drive back to Uttarkashi. Overnight stay at Uttarkashi.

Light woolen clothes are required while visiting Gangotri during summer. Winter is very chilly in Gangotri, with heavy snowfall covering the region. Pilgrim centers remain closed throughout winter due to snow.
The morning after breakfast, drive to Guptkashi via Moolgarh and Lambgaon. En route, enjoy the view of the beautiful Mandakini River at Tilwara. The Mandakini River originates from Kedarnath. Drive alongside the river to reach Guptkashi. Visit the Ardh Narishwar Temple in Guptkashi. Check into the hotel upon arrival in Guptkashi. Overnight stay at Guptkashi.

Guptkashi: The name Guptkashi means "Hidden Benares." 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.

Guptkashi Weather: Pleasant in summer, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C. Winters are cold.

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.

Things which were good. 1. View from manali hotel was amazing. 2. Natural beauty in jibhi stay was amazing. You will not even feel to go out. 3. Our trip man (Read More)ager used to ask everyday if we have any issue. This was very good. I would say it was a perfect trip. Few feedback for next time improvements so we can opt the same agent again. 1. Breakfast: Tea & breads can't be considered in breakfast. In jibhi stay, there were having 4 options for breakfast. 2 options were always unavailable otherwise we need hike for 100 meters to eat them. in rest 2 options, 1 was local dish Siddhu. My family couldn't like it much as they were eating it first time. And the last option was bread. 2. Meal options: In jibhi stay, there were limited option for meals. And it was difficult to know what is paid and what is included. We got to know about that at last day when we were leaving. At least milk for baby must be included in breakfast. 3. Tree house: bathroom floor slope was opposite side. no ventilation fan in bathroom. no window with net, and gaps in floor wooden planks. In result, insects in bed. In Manali, everything was good. But we were expecting that as the weather is cold there and we cant hang towels in balcony to get dried they should have changed them every day. Same with bedding. It should be changed at least once in 2 days. We stayed for 4 days there. Drive was experienced so we were pretty confident on his driving and less worried when he was fast. But for a AC car we were expecting that the AC should be on in sundar nagar like areas where car is not ascending on the mountains. However, he finally switched on AC in chandigarh that was a relief for us.
