Read MoreChar Dham Yatra is one of the very sacred journeys through which one is subjected to attain salvation after death. For the spiritual connection with the Almighty and the chance of getting free from the cycle of birth, millions of devotees embark on this journey every year.
With our 5 Nights and 6 Days Char Dham Yatra by helicopter, you cover all four Himalayan Dhams — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath — from Dehradun's Sahastradhara Helipad. The package includes 5-star hotel stay at each Dham, daily breakfast, helicopter transfers between all Dhams, and VIP Darshan passes at every temple. What normally requires 10–12 days of mountain road travel is completed in 6 days.
This Chardham helicopter Yatra is especially suited for senior citizens, families with elderly members, and pilgrims who cannot undertake long treks. Helicopter operations follow DGCA safety regulations — pilots are mountain-certified, and each flight is weather-verified before departure. The 2026 season opened with Yamunotri and Gangotri on April 19, Kedarnath on April 22, and Badrinath on April 23. Tourist registration on the official Char Dham portal is mandatory — our team handles this for all pilgrims booked with us.
