We went to Yamnotri in May month which really crowded as temple was closed last 2 years due to COVID. Coming to Trek and temple, this Trek is quite difficult than other treks and uphill task to complete. If you can't walk, you have doli, pony etc available. Start very early 5 am to avoid pony on the route. Once ponty starts, way will be dirty. It will be mesmerizing experience to go on such a divine Trek. You would get needed snack during the Trek. A key improvement I see, there should be proper washroom during the Trek and those were clean very regularly. Temple is very divine and soaks you in religious emotions. It also has a hot water spring where people can tak bath. Temple is clean and usually you get enough time to do the darshan. Spend good 2 hours there. There is lot of scope to improve these heritage and religious site, I could see the government is already trying their best.

We stayed at Barkot, started at 6 from Barkot hotel, drove to Yamunotri yatra base. Took us about 1 hour and 30 minutes. We went by pony, they charged ₹2,500 per person. Walking is also possible, but some paths are wet and slippery with the pony dung. Spent about an hour in the temple and the yamuna river behind the mandir. People have spoiled and spoiling throwing clothes,plastics etc. Don't know when people will become sensitive to the environment.....

We stayed at Bardot and went by car up to Janki Jatti. From there the mountain can be claimed by trekking , pony raid and dolis( 6 kms).Even basket man carries one person single handed. We went by doli…it is certainly inhuman but considerate our age that was the only workable action. There was rain on the way and cold as we went in October. Yamuna originates up above in the glacier in the mountains but hot water comes in a small place called Yamuna kund. One can take sulphur ( hot water Amana here) Ma Yamuna Ana maa Ganga and uthava Moorthy of Yamunaji are in the temple. All beautiful and divine
