Kharsali is a Himalayan village a short distance from Janki Chatti, the road head for the Yamunotri trek. It is the home of the Yamunotri temple priests, and after the temple closes on Bhai Dooj the Utsav Doli of Goddess Yamuna is brought here and worshipped through the winter at the Yamuna temple known as Khushimath. Wooden and stone houses and the old Shani Dev temple give the village a traditional Garhwali character.
