Chardham Yatra by Helicopter (5N/6D)

On time takeoffs are a key in this yatra, our take off will be sharp at 6:00 AM so guests are advised to leave hotel latest by 04.45 AM. After a brief briefing passengers will board their helicopters for onward journey. Passengers will get glimpse of entire range of snow-clad peaks of Garhwal Himalayas as they takeoff from Dehradun. The Bandarpunch peak on which Yamunotri glacier and shrine is located looks simply majestic as we head closer to it.

Helicopter ride from Yamunotri to Gangotri will take you over some amazing bugyals and snow-clad peaks. Bugyals are essentially meadows or large green patches found in Himalayas at 10,000 feet and above altitude. Passengers may get to see Swargarohini group of peaks during this ride.A hidden jewel near Gangotri Dham, Harsil is a serene Himalayan hamlet nestled on banks of river Bhagirathi at 8500 feet altitude and surrounded by snow clad mountains, pine forests and apple orchards. Popularly referred to as the mini-Switzerland of India, time seems to have stopped at this poetic hill station dotted with traditional houses and ancient temples. Some parts of the famous Raj Kapoor movie Ram Teri Ganga Maili were shot in Harsil.

At 7:00 AM, board the helicopter from Harsil Helipad and reach Sersi Helipad by 7:45 AM. Sersi serves as the base for Kedarnath, one of the most significant and revered Jyotirlingas. From here, you will board a shuttle helicopter that takes you to Kedarnath Helipad, just a short distance from the temple. Walk towards the Kedarnath Temple and seek blessings from Lord Shiva. Absorb the divine aura of this sacred place, set against the backdrop of snow-capped Himalayan peaks. After completing your darshan, return to Sersi for an overnight stay, reflecting on the spiritual experience.

In the early morning at 12:00 AM, depart from Sersi Helipad and arrive at Badrinath Helipad by 12:30 AM. After arrival, proceed to Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Take part in the temple rituals and offer prayers at this significant pilgrimage site. If time permits, explore nearby attractions such as Mana Village, the last Indian village near the Tibet border, and visit attractions like Vyas Gufa and Bhim Pul. Enjoy an overnight stay in Badrinath, experiencing the spiritual energy of the region.

In the early hours, at 1:00 AM, board the helicopter from Badrinath Helipad for your return journey to Dehradun, arriving at Sahastradhara Helipad by 2:00 AM. With your soul enriched and heart filled with divine blessings, you can proceed with your onward journey or spend some leisure time exploring Dehradun before departure.
