Booked with Shiv Ganga Travels, a Haridwar operator since 2010, with fixed fares and experienced hill drivers.

Yamunotri is the first of the four dhams, and the drive from Haridwar is the gentlest introduction to Garhwal you could ask for. The road climbs steadily through Chamba and Barkot, with the Yamuna valley opening up on your right. Your cab can only reach Janki Chatti — the last 6 km to the temple is a trek or pony ride. Most pilgrims leave Haridwar before sunrise and reach Barkot by evening.
