We specialise in Char Dham Yatra by road and helicopter, as well as Kedarnath and Badrinath pilgrimage tours. We also organise private helicopter experiences to Auli, Harsil, Triyuginarayan and Tehri Lake, along with leisure holidays across Uttarakhand—from well-known hill stations to quieter villages.

Our work is shaped by first-hand knowledge of the region. We plan Char Dham routes through every yatra season, so we understand how long each road stretch can take, where an overnight halt makes sense and how weather or road conditions can affect the day’s plan. We explain travel times, walking, altitude and possible changes clearly, helping guests plan with realistic expectations.

From your first enquiry to your return, one Travel Vaidya team member coordinates your itinerary, vehicle, hotels and local support. We own hotels along the Char Dham circuit and operate our own commercial vehicles, including Innova Crysta SUVs, Swift Dzire sedans and 12- and 16-seater Force Urbania vans, driven by experienced hill drivers. For stays outside our own hotels, we arrange suitable options, including four- and five-star hotels.

Whether you are planning a pilgrimage with your parents, travelling as a senior couple, visiting Uttarakhand for the first time or looking for a private holiday, we bring the main arrangements together and give you clear, practical guidance at every step.

Why Travellers Choose Travel Vaidya

We bring the key arrangements together—from itinerary and transport to hotel stays and local coordination. If plans need to change, your Travel Vaidya contact can help coordinate the next steps.

Akshay Shahu

Founder of Travel Vaidya | Uttarakhand Tour Planner

Akshay founded Travel Vaidya in 2015 and developed the company around Char Dham helicopter tour planning. His responsibility is to ensure that aviation rules, route limitations, traveller suitability and on-ground responsibilities are explained accurately before a booking is accepted.

He reviews how routes are structured, how helicopter products are explained and whether the proposed arrangements are appropriate for the traveller. If a request carries an avoidable risk—insufficient time, unsuitable pacing or unrealistic expectations—the team is expected to raise it before the booking is accepted.

That standard applies to Char Dham pilgrimages as well as private holidays to Mussoorie, Auli, Chopta, Nainital, Harsil and Jim Corbett.

Meet The Team

Each team member handles a specific part of the traveller’s experience. This reduces conflicting information and prevents guests from being passed between unrelated contacts.
