# Barkot — The Ideal Base for Yamunotri Yatra In the calculus of Yamunotri Yatra planning, Barkot is the most important decision you make. This small but charming town on the banks of the Yamuna River, at 1,220 metres, is 36 km from Janki Chatti and serves as the ideal overnight base for Yamunotri pilgrims. It combines good accommodation, reasonable connectivity, and enough sightseeing value to make an overnight stay worthwhile in itself. Where is Barkot? Barkot is in Uttarkashi district, located on NH-134 (the Yamunotri Highway), approximately: • 220 km from Haridwar (7–8 hours) • 36 km from Janki Chatti (1 hour by road) • 185 km from Uttarkashi town (via Dharasu — 5–6 hours) Hotels and Guesthouses in Barkot Barkot's accommodation has improved significantly in recent years. Options range from: • Budget guesthouses: ₹400–₹800/night (basic rooms, shared bathrooms) • Mid-range hotels: ₹800–₹2,500/night (attached bathrooms, hot water, restaurant) • GMVN Tourist Rest House: Reliable government-run accommodation at reasonable rates Pre-book during May–June peak season — Barkot's limited room stock fills quickly. Local Food and Restaurants Barkot's restaurants serve standard North Indian and Garhwali cuisine. A simple Garhwali thali — featuring mandua (finger millet) roti, gahat dal, aloo tamatar, and seasonal vegetables — is both delicious and energizing. Prices are very reasonable compared to touristy hill stations. Sightseeing Around Barkot Even without the Yamunotri yatra, Barkot has attractions worth spending time on: • Someshwar Temple: A beautiful ancient Shiva temple 3 km from Barkot on the riverbank • Yamuna River Walk: A peaceful riverside trail offers excellent photography and birdwatching • Kempty Falls Road: The route from Haridwar via Mussoorie passes near Barkot, making Mussoorie a potential en-route stop How to Reach Barkot from Haridwar Route 1 (via Mussoorie): Haridwar → Rishikesh → Mussoorie → Barkot (220 km, 7–8 hours). Scenic but slower — passes through busy Mussoorie. Route 2 (via Yamuna Valley): Haridwar → Rishikesh → Vikasnagar → Barkot (200 km, 6–7 hours). Faster and less crowded — follows the Yamuna River valley through beautiful forests. Tips for Staying in Barkot • Arrive by 3 PM at the latest — the roads beyond Barkot become difficult after dark • Check weather forecasts for Janki Chatti before the trek day • Stock up on cash in Barkot (ATMs available; none at Janki Chatti) • Have an early dinner and rest well before the trek day <a href="https://heylink.me/onlinechardham/">onlinechardham</a> <a
