YAMUNOTRI HOTELS
There are ashrams, dharamshalas,
and a few guesthouses in Yamunotri. The Garhwal
Mandal Vikas Nigam (GMVN) Tourist houses at Janki
Chatti and Yamunotri can be checked out. These
are mostly in the form of dormitories. The Ramananda
Dharamshala is a good place to stay. One can find
simple vegetarian food in these places. Alcohol
is strictly prohibited and discouraged.
Yamunotri is a small town of about
100 buildings. Most of the places are very basic.
In Yamunotri there are several dharamshalas to
stay at. One of the best places is the Ramananda
Ashram. The Nigam Tourist Bungalow, up the hill
to your right as you enter the town, has dorm
beds for Rs 100. You can expect a basic double
room in Yamunotri to be at least Rs 300. It is
not such a big town, and most people stop for
the night on the way up at Janaki-chatti
The Chardham Camp Barkot
40 kms from Dharasu, Barkot is a place of great
scenic beauty with spectacular views of snow capped
mountains all around. A magnificent view of the
eternal snow peaks of Bandarpunch can be seen
from here.
On your way to Yamunotri from The
Chardham Camp, Barkot.
