Char Dham Yatra
by helicopter.

Arrival day at Dehradun — the main base for your Char Dham helicopter yatra. Pickup from Dehradun Airport (Jolly Grant), railway station, or bus stand based on your arrival time. Check into the hotel to unwind. At 7:00 PM, a mandatory Tour Briefing takes place where the team covers the flight sequence, weather protocol, and safety guidance. Duffel bags are issued for your 5 kg personal baggage allowance. Body weight of each pilgrim is recorded for flight balancing — attendance is essential. Dinner and overnight at Dehradun.

Early morning transfer to the helipad for your first Himalayan flight. Fly to Kharsali (near Yamunotri) — a scenic ride over snow-capped Garhwal peaks. Short ground transfer to the Yamunotri temple base, followed by palki or pony service (included, subject to availability) up to the shrine. VIP darshan at Yamunotri Temple — the source of the Yamuna river and abode of Goddess Yamuna. Overnight at Kharsali in comfortable hotel accommodation with all meals included.

After breakfast, fly from Kharsali to Harsil — the picturesque apple valley close to Gangotri. Ground transfer (approx. 25 km, 1 hour) to the Gangotri temple — the abode of Goddess Ganga and one of the most revered shrines of the Char Dham. VIP darshan. Time permitting, a brief visit to Bhagirath Shila where King Bhagirath is said to have meditated to bring the Ganga to earth. Overnight at Harsil with all meals included.

Fly from Harsil to Sersi (near Guptkashi) — the Kedarnath helicopter shuttle base. From Sersi, a short shuttle flight takes you right to Kedarnath at 3,583 m, skipping the 16 km trek entirely. VIP darshan at Kedarnath Temple — one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and arguably the most dramatic setting of any Indian shrine. Visit Shankaracharya Samadhi behind the temple. Return shuttle to Sersi. Overnight at Sersi with all meals included.

Morning flight to the Badrinath helipad. Visit Tapt Kund (natural hot sulphur spring) before VIP darshan at Badrinath Temple — the abode of Lord Vishnu. If time allows, visit Mana — the last Indian village before the Tibetan border — with Vyas Gufa, Bhim Pul, and the source of the Saraswati river. Return to the helipad. Overnight at Badrinath with all meals included.

After breakfast, board the return helicopter flight to Dehradun — a scenic 90-minute journey over the Garhwal Himalayas, retracing the spiritual route you've just completed. Transfer to Dehradun airport or railway station for onward journey. End of the Char Dham Yatra By Helicopter — five sacred shrines, six days, lifetimes of blessings.
