Barkot (1,220 m elevation) is the last major town before the Yamunotri trek zone and the best-equipped base on the entire Yamunotri corridor. Unlike Janki Chatti — which has limited, basic accommodation — Barkot offers a full range of hotels, ATMs, fuel stations, and restaurants.
Many pilgrims choose to base themselves in Barkot and do a day-trip to Yamunotri: departing at 4–5 AM, driving 50 km to Janki Chatti, trekking 6 km to the temple, taking darshan, and returning the same day.
