The trek from Lower Damani Camp to Jankichatti via Yamunotri Temple and then traveling to Dehradun by taxi on the same day is quite an ambitious plan, and it would involve a long and tiring day. Here’s what the route and schedule might look like:

Trekking Route:

1. Lower Damani Camp (4,000 meters): You’ll start your day at Lower Damani Camp, which is situated at an altitude of around 4,000 meters (13,123 feet).

The roads in the region can be narrow and sometimes in poor condition, so it may take several hours to reach Dehradun by taxi.

Considerations:

• The drive from Yamunotri to Dehradun can take approximately 6 to 8 hours, depending on road conditions and traffic.
• It’s a good idea to start early in the day to ensure you have enough time to complete the trek to Yamunotri, visit the temple, and then begin your journey to Dehradun.

This plan is feasible if you have made all the necessary transportation arrangements in advance, are physically fit to complete the trek, and are prepared for a long day of travel. Keep in mind that the trek and the long drive may be physically demanding, so it’s important to ensure you have enough time for rest and breaks during the journey.
