The westernmost of the four Char Dham shrines at 3,293m. The Yamunotri Temple overlooks a cascade of hot springs (Surya Kund, 88°C). The 6km trek from Janki Chatti through pine and deodar forests is serene and deeply spiritual.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon season — heavy rainfall expected. Good for nature lovers, but outdoor travel can be challenging. (peak crowds.)
