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.

Based on 164 reviews Excellent support through out the booking process, and during the Badrinath Yatra and Darshan! Sudhanshu S. JhaThe Chardham is not for the week. 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 cbReally 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 DamaniI recently completed the Do Dham Yatra (Kedarnath and Badrinath) with Travel Vaidya, and I am extremely satisfied with their service. A special thanks to Ravi Upadhyay, who supported us throughout the entire journey. He was always patient, polite, and very responsive whenever we had any questions or needed assistance. His calm and professional approach made our trip completely stress-free. All the arrangements, including accommodation, food, transportation, and overall planning, were excellent. Everything was well organized and executed perfectly, allowing us to enjoy our pilgrimage without any concerns. I truly appreciate the efforts of the Travel Vaidya team, especially Ravi Upadhyay, for making our Do Dham Yatra comfortable, smooth, and memorable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a spiritual journey. Mayank PatelI recently did the Do Dham Yatra by helicopter with Travel Vaidya, Dehradun. Their customer service was prompt and clear, making the booking process smooth. Hotels were decent and well-located, especially in Sersi near the helipad. The driver was courteous and helpful. The darshan at Kedarnath and Badrinath was divine and truly uplifting, deeply honoring Hindu sentiments. However, the 3rd party helicopter company, Himalayan Heli-services, lacked timely communication about flight schedules and meal breaks, causing some confusion. Also, the itinerary was changed unexpectedly due to ‘helicopter license’ issues, leading to a tiring same-day visit to Kedarnath and Badrinath and missing Mana village. Better coordination and clearer updates would improve the experience. Overall, a blessed pilgrimage with scope for smoother logistics. Will recommend for all solo women, foreign citizens and families who want to do Char Dham Yatra. Travel Vaidya exceeded my expectations. Hansi GWe are group of Six all are 50 plus age. Excellent arrangement for helitour for DoDham Kedarnath and Badrinath.VIP Dharsan, Hotel and Temple guide arrangements are superb. Total tour cost was very much reasonable. We are happy with them. I suggest Travel Vidya any one who wants to do yatra. Kulandhaivel PalaniyandiWe ( myself and wife ) both senior citizens from Mumbai used the Travel Vaidya Helicopter package for Char Dham from 6th to 10th May 2026. Travel Vaidya have a tie up with another company called Heliyatra who in fact manage the entire tour. Throughout the package tour it is the Heliyatra staff who assisted us with Helicopter travel , Hotel stay and special darshan. However for some unknown reason Heliyatra name is not disclosed to the travellers till yatra starts. The services of Heliyatra were not satisfactory. They run two copters . Their staff warns you about waiting time at each Helipad which stretches from 15 min to 4/5 hrs. Reasons for delay are weather or no permission from ATC . We found at many occasions that other Helicopter companies were taking off with their flights but Heliyatra 2 copters were missing. Also we had paid for special pooja in advance at Badrinanth temple but Heliyatra staff failed to book our pooja slot and we sought refund but returned disappointed. So beware of this intermediary who remains hidden but who actually is responsible for the tour. Milind KamatHad a very enjoyable Do dham trip . Everything was planned and went accordingly. Slight changes in the helicopter schedule. Other than that hotels provided by Travel Vaidya during the entire tour were very good. Jyoti Warty
