TEMPO TRAVELLER NOIDA TO YAMUNOTRI and GANGOTRI

Yamunotri and Gangotri: Two Dhams, One Multi-Day Journey

Yamunotri and Gangotri are the first two shrines of the Char Dham yatra, both in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna river, while Gangotri is closely associated with the origin of the Ganga. Together they form one of the most popular pilgrimage circuits in the Himalayas.

This is a multi-day route with long driving days and one short trek, so it’s not a trip to squeeze into a weekend. A vehicle suited to mountain roads and a driver who knows this Uttarkashi belt make a real difference.

Manvi Tempo Traveller provides 9 to 25 seater vehicles for the Noida to Yamunotri Gangotri route, with experienced hill drivers and a clear day-wise plan.
