The Temple opens on the religious day of ‘Akshaya-Tritya’, which falls, generally, during the last week of April or the first week of May. The doors of Yamunotri Temple has been closed for winter and reopened on April-May 2025.
The opening date of Yamunotri temple for 2025 will be declared on Yamuna Jayanti i.e on 03 April 2025. The closing day of the Yamunotri temple always takes place on the holy day of Bhai Dooj after a brief ceremony.
The Yamunotri shrine closed to the public for winter on Bhai Dooj with vedic chanting. This signal the start of the closure of the Char Dham shrines in Uttarakhand for the winters season.
When the temple closes for the season, Yamuna’s doli is taken to Kharsali (with pomp and rituals) where the pandits and purohits spend the winter months and where she is worshipped for these months. Yamunotri will reopen in the months of April/May next year.
Char Dham tour packages typically begin from popular starting points such as Delhi, Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun. Pilgrims need to reach one of these locations to start their sacred Char Dham Yatra. If you are traveling from another state in India, you must arrange your journey to the starting point on your own. Alternatively, you can request your chardham tour operator to organize transportation from your location to the starting point for a seamless travel experience.
By ensuring proper char dham travel arrangements in advance, you can avoid unnecessary hassles and focus entirely on your spiritual journey through the Char Dham circuit. Whether you choose to handle your travel or rely on your travel agent, planning ahead will make your char dham yatra stress-free and more fulfilling.
