💰 Budget Hotels Near Yamunotri
The most budget-friendly options are the Himalayan Camp – Janki Chatti (₹900–₹2,000/night, right at the trailhead) and the GMVN Rest House Barkot (₹1,000–₹2,000/night, with full amenities). Dharamshalas in Janki Chatti offer beds from ₹300–₹500 but have very limited availability during peak season.
For budget pilgrims who need comfort and value, Hanuman Chatti (13 km before Janki Chatti) is often the better choice — with lower prices and less crowding than Janki Chatti while still being close to the trailhead.
💡 Budget Tip
Booking GMVN accommodation directly at gmvnl.in typically costs 10–15% less than third-party platforms. GMVN properties also offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees — and government-backed reliability for a worry-free yatra.
🗺️ Where to Stay for Yamunotri Yatra

The largest town on the Yamunotri route, ~50 km from the temple. Barkot has the only ATMs, restaurants, a hospital and the widest range of hotels on the route — ideal for families and elderly pilgrims.
