Where does the Chardham helicopter yatra start from?
Helicopter booking for the Chardham Yatra is available from Dehradun and Haridwar. Flights leave from Sahastradhara Helipad, Dehradun, and the six-day programmes end back there. On the fixed departure, Day 01 is arrival at Dehradun airport with a night in a hotel in Dehradun or Haridwar.
In what order are the four dhams covered, and where does the helicopter land?
The route is Dehradun, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath and back to Dehradun. On the fixed departure the helicopter lands at Kharsali for Yamunotri, Harsil for Gangotri, Phata for Kedarnath and Badrinath Helipad, flying one sector a day and returning to Sehastradhara Helipad on Day 06.
Is there any walking on a Chardham helicopter yatra?
Yamunotri involves a 5 km trek from Kharsali Helipad, with a pony or palki available. Gangotri is reached by road from Harsil, and Badrinath has car service from the helipad. Kedarnath is reached on the helicopter from the base helipad.
Is the Kedarnath helicopter ticket included in the Chardham package?
No. We do not sell helicopter tickets. Please do not contact us for tickets. Each pilgrim books the helicopter ticket on IRCTC in their own name, and its fare is paid to IRCTC.
What happens if bad weather stops the Chardham helicopter?
Every itinerary is coordinated around weather, helipad movement and safety rules, and flying on a scheduled date cannot be guaranteed. On the fixed departure, only 01 additional night of waiting is allowed; stay and food for that night are borne by passengers, and the cost of crew and craft by the company.
Which Chardham Yatra by helicopter option should I choose?
For all four Dhams with hotels, meals and Pandit-guided darshan arranged, take the private 5N/6D Chardham helicopter package (minimum 06 passengers). For a place on a group package, the Chardham fixed departure is the cheaper way in. If Yamunotri's climb is too much, the Do Dham Yatra by helicopter covers Kedarnath and Badrinath in 03N/04D, or in one day on the same-day trip.
How do your helicopter booking services for the Chardham Yatra work?
You send your dates, passengers and each passenger's weight. We check availability with permit-holding helicopter operators and send a written quote, inclusive of taxes and the State Government royalty, before anything is paid. The deposit is 50% of the tour cost, for the private packages and the fixed departure alike, with the balance 30 days before departure.
Can one person book a Chardham helicopter trip?
On the fixed departure, yes: you join the group package, with 06-08 passengers per departure. The private 5N/6D package runs with a minimum of 06 passengers, the same-day Do Dham with a minimum of 2, and the 03N/04D Do Dham is not offered for a single person.
When is the best time for the Chardham Yatra by helicopter?
May and June, then September and October, when the air is clear. July and August bring monsoon rain and many no-fly days. In any month, keep a spare day in Dehradun for the weather.
Can I book the Chardham helicopter yatra on IRCTC?
No. The Chardham helicopter packages and the fixed departure are run by permit-holding helicopter operators and booked through us; each pilgrim books the Kedarnath helicopter themselves. We do not sell helicopter tickets. Please do not contact us for tickets.
Do I need Chardham yatra registration for the helicopter yatra?
Yes. Every pilgrim must register with the Uttarakhand government, by helicopter or by road, and the helicopter booking does not register you. Registration is free on the official portal, and the IRCTC Kedarnath helicopter asks for each passenger's yatra registration number, so register first.
How do I reach the Chardham helicopter from Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad?
Travel to Dehradun first, by air to Jolly Grant airport or by road or rail. The helicopter yatra itself starts at Sahastradhara Helipad, Dehradun, and on the fixed departure Day 01 is arrival at Dehradun airport with a night in Dehradun or Haridwar.
What are the weight and baggage limits on the Chardham helicopter?
On the private 5N/6D package, baggage is 3 kg per passenger and weight above 75 kg is charged at INR 2,500 per kilogram. On the fixed departure, baggage is 5 kg per person with one small bag of up to 2 kg in flight, and the passengers in one helicopter may weigh no more than 320 kg in total. Give accurate weights when you enquire.
