This time around I have planned to visit the sacred temple of Yamunotri. The tickets to the Ac chair car had been booked and I was enjoying the ride on the Shatabdi express to Haridwar. I really love this train for cleanliness and service that is provided. The climate outside the train was fantastic. There is no trace of sun and through the window of the train everything looked green, this made the scenery outside look divine.
We reached Rishikesh at 2.00 pm in the afternoon. There I got to know that no bus was available at that time to go to Yamunotri temple. The bus would leave early in the morning tomorrow. We tried our best to arrange transport for our ride to Yamunotri temple but nothing could be done. At last we were helped by a local policemen to hire a cab to drop us midway at Chiyali saur. We enjoyed the journey in the vehicle ,soaking the scenery outside. We reached Chiyalisaur at 7.00 pm in the evening and had to stay there for night.(No traffic runs after dark in Uttarkashi). We had to reach Dharasu band in the morning to continue our journey at yamunotri. We slept at 9.00 pm and were awakened by the knock on the door. It took us a hour more to dress up and get ready to move there.
