Jankichatti (also spelled Yamunotri Chatti) is a remote Himalayan hamlet in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district, serving as the final motorable stop before the sacred Yamunotri Temple (5 km trek). Situated at 2,650 meters (8,694 feet), this picturesque village lies along the Yamuna River, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, hot springs, and dense forests.

Jankichatti is primarily known for:
✔ Gateway to Yamunotri – One of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites
✔ Natural Hot Springs (Kunds) – Believed to have medicinal properties
✔ Base for treks to Yamunotri and nearby alpine lakes

Unlike commercial hill stations, Jankichatti retains an authentic mountain-village charm, with:

Simple guesthouses and dhabas
