Yamunotri opening dates 2026 — what we know today
The official Yamunotri opening date for 2026 is not declared yet. The YTC will announce it on Maha Shivratri, which falls on 15 February 2026. Once declared, the exact opening time will also be shared. In past years, Yamunotri Temple generally opens just after Akshaya Tritiya. In 2026, Akshaya Tritiya falls on 19 April, so the Yamunotri opening window will likely be from late April to early May 2026.
YTC will announce the official dates for 2026, and pilgrims should wait for confirmation before booking travel and accommodation.
