We started in the morning. We went upto Janaki Chatti by a local
jeep and started trekking to Yamunotri. The village houses were
interesting. The horses, the palkis, etc were a new experience.
The trek was steep. It was compensated by the beautiful scenery.
We were in no hurry. We reached Yamunotri. The water in the
river was cold. Some of us took a dip while others just sprinkled
the water on the head. We took bath in the hot spring water.
There was a Hanuman and Rama temple near the Yamunotri temple.
Thanks to Hari Sharanam Maharaj, our afternoon prasad was arranged
in the temple. After prasad, the devotees chanted Vishnusahasranaam
outside the temple. Then we started trekking down.
Gopiji's arthritis gave him a tough time, but he beared it all with
cheer. We reached Hanuman Chatti in the evening and stayed there
for the night.
