Hindus hold Badrinath and Kedarnath in very high regard. You may get the spiritual high without having to climb for hours by taking a helicopter flight. The Do Dham Badrinath And Kedarnath Yatra by air package starts in Dehradun and flies them to Kedarnath. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful valleys and snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas from the air. After the Darshan and Poojan at Kedarnath, the pilgrims move on to Badrinath. This is where Lord Vishnu resides in a peculiar way. People can ask God for things and pray here.
We have carefully arranged our Do Dham helicopter package so that you can obtain the blessings of Lord Shiva and Badri-Narayan in only one day. It saves you time and includes a lot of extras, such meals, a place to stay, and a VIP Darshan pass. This makes things seem wonderful and special. It’s also good for older people and people with disabilities.

We also provide a lot of alternative helicopter tours for the Kedarnath Yatra and the Badrinath Dham Yatra.
A Brief Overview of the Helicopter Journey to Badrinath and Kedarnath
Here is a quick look at your Do Dham package for your holy vacation:
Information about the category
One day from start to finish
Sahastradhara The Dehradun Helipad is the most significant place to go. You should also go to the sanctuaries at Badrinath and Kedarnath.
How to get to the helipad
We traveled from Sersi/Phata/Guptkashi to Kedarnath, and then to the Badrinath Temple. Darshan is for VIPs only. Tickets for both temples
Breakfast and lunch cost INR 1,30,000.
The ideal months to travel are May, June, September, and October.
Why should you use Helicopter Yatra to get to Kedarnath and Badrinath?
Saves time: The helicopter Yatra is brief and can be done in one or two days. The traditional Yatra, on the other hand, lasts for days and is quite strenuous.
A Trip to Chill Out: The heli Yatra is, of obviously, really impressive. It also feels better than driving on rocky roads in the Himalayas.
For people who are 40 or older: People over 60 or with disabilities can easily get to their pilgrimage by helicopter. You may fly high in style and comfort without having to worry about driving.
Of course, helicopter rides let you see things from above. From above, the Himalayas are very lovely. The valleys are green, and the hills are covered in snow. They are quite pretty.
VIP Darshan: Another reason to choose charter transportation is that most helicopter packages include priority Darshan. Most helicopters try to shorten the wait time and give visitors a quick Darshan pass because the weather in the Himalayas is hard to forecast.
What time of year is best for travel, and what should you wear?
The best months to visit the Do Dhams are May, June, September, and October.
Before the Rainy Season
If you plan to fly a helicopter to Do Dham Yatra in the summer, May and June, you may expect bright days with temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius. Wear garments that are cool and comfy in the summer.
After the Rainy Season
If you go in September or October, the weather will be beautiful and cool. The weather is great, with temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. But the temperatures at both Badrinath and Kedarnath can drop below 10°, especially at night. You should wear warm garments. Wool coats and sweaters are the best things to wear. If it rains out of the blue, we give our customers rain gear that they may toss away.
Advice for Pilgrims on the Road
Even though flying in a helicopter is easier on your body, you should still see a doctor before you go on the Chardham Yatra. If your heart or lungs aren’t working well, this is even more true.
The chopper doesn’t have a lot of room, so only bring what you need. A person can only bring five kilograms of stuff with them on the helicopter.
Before you can get on the helicopter, you need to show your government-approved ID, such as an Aadhaar Card, Voter Card, or PAN Card.
Arrive ready for the chance that your planes will arrive late. This could happen because of fog, rain, wind, and other reasons.
Wear warm clothes and shoes that fit comfortably.
How to Buy Helicopter Tickets
To acquire your tickets, do these two things:
- You need to join the Yatra to get the tickets. You can accomplish this on the official registration website for Uttarakhand Char Dham.
- You need to buy helicopter tickets to Badrinath and Kedarnath after you sign up. You can buy helicopter tickets on the official IRCTC website, heliyatra.irctc.co.in.
Important Information About the Helicopter Take the Dham Yatra
The state government and the temple can both adjust the VIP Darshan service.
Helicopters can only hold a certain amount of weight. We can let people in and out of the plane so it doesn’t get too heavy. This means that those who are flying together might not be able to sit together and would have to take different helicopter shifts. Please know this in advance.
Choose the timings for your flights: There are occasions when helicopters have to leave. People who are flying need to get to the helipad on time so they don’t miss their flights. If the weather is terrible or something else happens that we can’t control, we might have to delay or even cancel flights.
One day before the Helicopter Yatra, we will tell you the exact flight schedule and when you need to be at the helipad.
All tourists must give the right weight when they book. If you ever submitted the wrong information, you might not be allowed to board the airline or get your money back.
You can only bring one bag, and it can’t weigh more than 5 kilograms. Also, don’t carry huge bags or backpacks on the flights because there isn’t much capacity in the helicopters.
People can use the Kedarnath shuttle service to go to Kedarnath ji. If a group of people is going, they may need to take different shuttles.
If the state government or temple officials raise taxes or other levies, the people who use the bus will have to pay the extra money themselves. We will make sure there are no extra charges.
Everyone who wants to go on the helicopter tour of Kedarnath And Badrinath must fill out an online Yatra registration form first.
Wear clothes that are easy to move in when you go on a trip. Put on some comfortable track pants and sneakers.
We will visit both Badrinath and Kedarnath Dhams. They are always ready to help.
Children that weigh less than 12 kg can ride the helicopter for free. You do need to send in your ID or birth certificate to prove your age, though.
If you’re bringing a baby with you on Do Dham Yatra, the helicopter can only hold a few people.
People who are traveling will have to pay for things like gratuities, contributions, Pitthu expenditures, extra porters, and so on.
It’s not always easy to go online in the highlands. But a number of areas in the vicinity have good networks from Jio and BSNL.
Because Badrinath and Kedarnath are both very cold, you should carry warm items such jackets and woolen sweaters. Also, both of them are hundreds of meters above sea level, which makes it easier to get sick because of the high altitude. It’s very vital to bring all of your important medicines with you just in case.
If you’re worried about your health, you should always see a doctor before you take the traditional Badrinath And Kedarnath Yatra by helicopter. Older people and anyone who have trouble getting around should also see their doctor before going on the holy Do Dham Yatra.
Weather & Safety Warning
If the weather is bad or something else happens that can’t be prevented, this is a warning for the Badrinath and Kedarnath Yatra by helicopter.
It’s hard to predict what the weather will be like in the highlands. Passengers should be ready for anything, such flights being canceled because of bad weather.
Examples of force majeure situations include:
• Bad weather
• Poor visibility for flying
• Valley flying by the Indian Air Force (NOTAM)
• Delayed permissions/air traffic clearances
• Illness of a flying crew
• Sudden technical difficulties with aircraft
• VVIP movements
• Guests arriving late at the helipads
We have to follow our rules if poor weather or anything else that can’t be helped screws with your Do Dham Yatra by Helicopter.
Advice on Staying Healthy During Your Helicopter Yatra
Getting acclimated to the steep parts is quite key. You need to become used to the mountains because Badrinath and Kedarnath are very high up. But your helicopter Do Dham Yatra will only last one day, so you won’t have time to get used to being up so high.
