This Do Dham package covers the same two shrines as the same-day Kedarnath Badrinath trip, at a gentler pace. Day one is Kedarnath in the morning and Badrinath by noon, where a puja is arranged for you. Instead of flying straight back that afternoon, you stay the night at Badrinath and leave at first light, reaching Dehradun by about 7:00 the next morning.
The night changes the trip in three ways. There is no race against the afternoon weather that often closes in over the high valleys, so the Badrinath half of the day is not cut short. You can attend the evening aarti and go back to the temple before the early flight. And the day is less tiring for older pilgrims, who get a night's rest at Badrinath, at over 3,100 metres, instead of a second long flight on the same day.
The helicopter is a private Bell 407 or AS 350 B3 for four passengers, and the price is for the group of four. At Kedarnath, you change to the shuttle at the base camp on the ticket booked on IRCTC in each pilgrim's name; its fare is paid to IRCTC, and we help with the booking.
