Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter
One of the most convenient and spiritually fulfilling ways to complete the Char Dham Yatra is by helicopter. It saves time, reduces physical strain (especially for senior citizens), and offers divine views of Uttarakhand’s sacred geography.
This six-day aerial tour typically includes:
• Yamunotri
• Gangotri
• Kedarnath
• Badrinath
Departing from Dehradun, the Char Dham helicopter tour includes VIP darshan, accommodation, transfers, and meals—ideal for pilgrims looking for a smooth and organized spiritual journey. You land close to each shrine and are escorted to the temple for darshan. It’s a complete package, handled with care by experienced operators who understand the terrain, weather, and temple procedures. This is our most booked spiritual aerial tour, especially between May and June.
Kedarnath and Badrinath by Helicopter
If you’re short on time or only planning to visit the two most iconic dhams, you can go for the 2 Dham Helicopter Tour—Kedarnath and Badrinath.
This trip usually takes one or two days, depending on your preference. Most flights start early morning from Sahastradhara helipad in Dehradun, and include:
• A morning flight to Kedarnath, followed by darshan
• Transfer to Badrinath for the second leg of the yatra
• Same-day or overnight return, depending on package
You get priority darshan, guided transfers, and meals. It’s perfect for those who want a peaceful, hassle-free visit to both temples without the exhausting trek. This tour is especially popular among elderly travelers and international devotees visiting Uttarakhand for a spiritual break.
Kedarnath Tour by Helicopter
Want to visit just Kedarnath? That’s possible too. The Kedarnath helicopter tour is now one of the fastest ways to reach the shrine and return safely—especially if you’re traveling with kids, seniors, or have health concerns.
Helicopter flights are available from:
• Guptkashi
• Phata
• Sersi
Most operators offer same-day return packages with VIP darshan. It saves the long trek and helps avoid weather risks or accommodation uncertainty. You can also upgrade to overnight stay options, which let you take your time during darshan and stay at a nearby guesthouse arranged by your tour provider. This is the best option for people who want to visit Kedarnath in one day, without trekking or depending on mules or palanquins.
Other Aerial Tours in Uttarakhand
Helicopter tours are growing in popularity beyond pilgrimages. Today, you can find aerial tours heading to:
Auli – fly past snowfields and ski slopes
Valley of Flowers – only open in monsoon, but utterly magical
Badrinath – a spiritual as well as scenic destination
Harsil – hidden valleys on the Gangotri route
These are perfect for travelers looking for a more offbeat Himalayan experience or those who want to enjoy the beauty without exhausting road journeys.

Last week I took support from Ravi of Travel Vaidya for our family's trip to Kedarnath and Haridwar. That was the same days when the landslide started at Kedarnath. Ravi was our Single point of contact for all the support throughout the trip (unlike a previous tour operator where I had to talk to a dozen people on a daily basis for hotels, cabs, payment, etc. etc.). Due to landslide, our plan was changing by the minute and Ravi professionally provided real time support and was accessible over phone call all thru. He was even very flexible and provided us backup options immediately when there was a minor hiccup with the car breakdown so we dont lose time. He got us the right contacts for mules and doli at Kedarnath. With the tension owing to the landslide, having someone to fall back upon was very comforting. Thank you, Ravi !
Sandhya BhagavathulaOur Do Dham Yatra of Kedarnath and Badrinath was well arranged and planned according to our timing and requirements . The super tough terrain driving was well handled by our Driver , Happy, 😊 , managed the entire 6 days driving happily. Would recommend him and Travel Vaidya to anyone considering yatra with them.
SuchitraHad an absolutely amazing and memorable trip! The entire journey was very well organised and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. The hotels were comfortable and extremely hospitable, the food was excellent, and the driver was professional, kind and very helpful throughout the journey. The warmth and hospitality we experienced everywhere made the trip even more special. A wonderful experience overall, and I would definitely travel with them again and happily recommend them to anyone planning a trip!
Dore ManjunathThe Chardham is not for the weak. But if you need a team who could make it as comfortable as possible to you, then Travel Vaidya is that team for you. From the registration to the end of the journey, it's great support that they offer. Ravi was my travel consultant from the beginning and he supported me the entire way of the journey, for almost 6 months from the day I contacted him and booked my travel to the end of the 12 days of my journey. Kamal was my driver. The way Krishna led Partha, he guided me, and supported me the entire 12 days of my journey. Such a nice person and excellent driver he is.... Thanks again Travel Vaidya, for the once in a life time experience I had with you....
pradeesh cbPerfect Yamunotri-Gangotri Trip with Elderly Parents* We booked our Yamunotri-Gangotri yatra with Travel Vaidya Agency and it was absolutely flawless. Traveling with elderly parents in the hills is always stressful, but their arrangements made everything seamless. *Planning:* The itinerary was perfectly planned keeping my parents' age in mind. Proper rest days, pre-booked palki/pony arrangements, and no last-minute rush. *Stay:* Hotels were clean, comfortable, and senior-friendly. Hot water, cozy beds, and easy accessibility. Getting such quality in the mountains is rare. *Food:* Simple, homely, and hygienic vegetarian food. My parents had zero digestion issues throughout the trip - that itself is a huge win. *Driver:* The biggest highlight. Our driver was not just professional but extremely caring and homely. He drove slowly, was patient with my parents, stopped whenever needed, and treated us like family. Felt like traveling with a family member. Huge thanks to the Travel Vaidya team for making my parents' yatra memorable and comfortable. If you're planning Chardham with seniors, you can trust them blindly.
Sudhanshu DwivediI completed my char dham yatra in june 2026 through travel vaidya and it was a very well planned itenerary designed by them. Stay, travel food yatra, every thing was perfect. Thanks to travel vaidya 🙂🙂
Kumudha LeeladharReally trip went very well.Trip advisor Ms.Anchal and driver Mr.sunil made our journey comfortable and excellent.I am very happy for choosen them.
lalith aGood experience right from booking the chardham yatra to every step guidance, flexible payment modes and extremely helpful Mr. Ravikant. The hotels arranged were good but some did have their own local issue based hiccups which is not much under anyone's control. Breakfast and dinner arranged by all these hotels were excellent. Lastly, the driver for our trip was thoroughly professional with good knowledge of local intricacies which helped us in multiple situations.
Sunil SidharthanI arranged a trip to Yamunotri Gangotri and Mussoorie through them. They organised the hotels and transportation. I was quite happy with their approach and professionalism. The hotels suggested and booked by them were quite good and the car provided was also as promised. They were quick to respond to my queries before the start of the trip and also kept in touch with the Driver throughout the trip to monitor the movement. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking to travel to Uttarakhand.
Krishna DamaniOur family had a very good experience with Travel Vaidya, thanks to Akshay for understanding our requirements and planning our do dham trip seamlessly. We got a well maintained car with a wonderful driver Pankaj, who also gave us lots of information regarding the places and its history. We stayed at beautiful properties with great views of the Himalayas and the rivers. Everything was taken care and we didn't have to intervene for anything. The food was also very tasty. Also, if we wanted any clarification regarding anything, Akshay respo ded immediately. I would definitely recommend this operator for everybody looking to travel to Uttarkand.
