If you leave early from Dehradun, the bus to Yamunotri usually takes about 4.5 to 5 hours, so catching a 6 am departure keeps you past the main traffic jam. A cab from Jolly Grant Airport is similar in length but you’ll need to arrange it beforehand; most drivers suggest booking a few days ahead to lock in the price. The Hanuman Chatti stop is roughly 3 km from the temple, so you’ll still have a short walk once you get off. If you prefer a train, you can catch a local from Dehradun to Rishikesh and then take a shared taxi, which saves a bit of time compared to the whole road trip.
