Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter

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.

Auli – fly past snowfields and ski slopes

Exceptional Travel Experience – Highly Recommend Vaidya Travels My husband and I chose Uttarakhand to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, and we wanted everything to be seamless—from airport pickup to drop-off. We spent quite some time searching for a reliable, English-speaking local travel agent, and by sheer luck, we found Vaidya Travels and Akshay Sahu. From the very first call, Akshay stood out. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, stayed in constant touch, and kept us informed at every step of the journey. He was warm, easy to communicate with, and extremely professional throughout. Being from Uttarakhand, his local knowledge made a huge difference. He recommended excellent hotels—each one lived up to expectations. On one occasion where the location involved more climbing than we were comfortable with, he immediately rearranged everything at no extra cost, which truly showed his commitment to our comfort and satisfaction. What really sets Akshay apart is his attention to detail and genuine care for his clients. The entire trip was smooth, stress-free, and memorable—exactly what we had hoped for. Vaidya Travels operates across India, and we will absolutely be using Akshay’s services again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and professional travel planner.Posted on Mahabir Prasad AgarwalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
