The First Dham.....Yamunotri Chardham Trip is annual pilgrimage trip taking up by millions of devotees. I could attend this trip this year and realized the volume and magnitude of pilgrimage and its overall impacts. Find herewith some interesting pictures and tips. Jankichatti Start your trip early morning from Haridwar/Rishikesh. It will take almost 10 hours to reach Balkot, the base camp. You may find a number of hotels here. If you want to go to the real campsite it is Jankichatti (2 hours from Blakot by taxi), where pilgrims start their trek to Yamunotri. This place is crowded as well as the hotels charge high rates for rooms. The trek from Jankichatti to Yamunotri take 4 hours if you are moving in a moderate pace. The distance is 6 km. (oneside), but steepness of the route will make you tired. Ponywalas, Palkiwalas, etc. que up here to offer their support. Yamunotri Dham Kalindi Parvat A devotee offering prayers Near to t
