Customise this tour

Your spiritual journey begins in Dehradun, the gateway to your Chardham Yatra by helicopter. Upon arrival at Dehradun airport or railway station, our representative will greet you and arrange a comfortable transfer to your hotel.

Complete check-in formalities at the hotel and unwind. You will be given duffle bags to carry your belongings for the upcoming journey. It is important to pack only the essentials in your duffle bag, as a maximum weight of 5 kg is permitted during the Yatra. Additionally, you will receive the contact details of the personnel responsible at each Dham.

It is advisable to arrive in Dehradun by 2 PM so that you have plenty of time for rest and preparation before starting your Char Dham yatra by helicopter the following morning.

Overnight stay in Dehradun.

At 7:30 AM, check out of the hotel and arrive at Sahastradhara Helipad. You will board the chopper here at 8:30 AM for Kharsali.

Upon landing at Kharsali Helipad at 9:00 AM, a representative will guide you to your hotel for check-in. Following breakfast, you will head out for Yamunotri Darshan.

You can choose to travel by palki (palanquin) or pony, as the trek takes approximately 5.5 hours for a round trip. Visit the sacred Yamunotri Temple, which is home to the source of the Yamuna River, and take the opportunity to relax in the rejuvenating hot springs nearby.

Following your darshan, you’ll explore Kharsali with its historical and devotional temples, Yamuna Mata Temple, and Shani Temple.

As the second day of your Char Dham Yatra by helicopter comes to an end, make your way back to your hotel in Kharsali.

The road distance is approximately 25 km, and it will take about 1 hour to reach the Dham. After your visit to the Dham, you can explore attractions in Harsil, such as Bagodi Village, Mukhwa Village, and enjoy a beautiful nature walk near Jhalla. Additionally, you can visit the Shiv Temple near Harsil or take a short trek to Chholmi Village.

After a busy day, return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay in Harsil.

On Day 4 of your 6-Day Chardham Yatra by Helicopter, you will visit Shri Kedarnath Ji. Check out of your hotel at 8:30 AM, then depart from Harsil at 9:30 AM for Sersi. You will arrive at the Sersi base at 10:00 AM.

After checking in at your hotel, take some time to freshen up. Further, enjoy a delicious breakfast before boarding a shuttle flight to Kedarnath.

After seeking blessings at Kedarnath Dham, proceed to the Kedarnath Ji helipad for the return journey to Sersi. Here, you will visit attractions like Triyugi Narayan Temple, Kalimath Mandir, Gaurikund, and Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Guptkashi.

After a full day, return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay in Sersi.

Enjoy a scrumptious breakfast at 6 AM in the peaceful surroundings. Check out of your hotel after breakfast and head to the helipad for your flight to Badrinath. You will depart from Sersi at 6:30 AM and arrive in Badrinath at 7:00 AM.

In the afternoon, you will be taken to the Badrinath Temple for Darshan. After darshan, you can explore the area, including the natural hot springs near the temple, the historic Mana Village, and the local market.

In the evening, you can participate in Swarna Aarti or Chandi Aarti (on an additional payment basis directly at Badrinath).

Overnight stay in Badrinath.

To attend the Maha Abhishek Puja, arrive at the temple by 3:30 AM, as the puja occurs at 4:30 AM. After this divine experience, return to the hotel and check out by 6:30 AM.
