The Char Dham Yatra is one of the most sacred pilgrimages in Hinduism, covering four ancient shrines in the Uttarakhand Himalayas: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. By road, the journey takes 10 to 12 days through difficult mountain terrain, which makes it physically demanding for many devotees. With Accretion Aviation, you can complete the entire Char Dham yatra by helicopter in just six days from Dehradun, or visit Kedarnath and Badrinath through our Do Dham Yatra by helicopter in four days. Both packages include helicopter transfers from Sahastradhara Helipad in Dehradun, hotel stays with meals, VIP darshan at each temple, and on-ground assistance throughout the journey.
Both packages begin and end at Sahastradhara Helipad in Dehradun. You arrive in Dehradun a day before your scheduled departure, and our team picks you up from the airport and transfers you to your hotel. In the evening, you attend a mandatory tour briefing where the team walks you through the itinerary, provides duffel bags for the yatra, and records each passenger's body weight for helicopter allocation. The luggage limit is 5 kg per person for the Char Dham helicopter package and 2 kg per person for the Do Dham helicopter package. The next morning, you are driven to Sahastradhara Helipad, where your helicopter yatra begins. At each dham, our ground team receives you at the helipad, handles hotel check-in, arranges car or palki transfers to the temple, and coordinates your VIP darshan. Once all darshans are complete, you fly back to Dehradun and are dropped at the airport.
The Char Dham yatra helicopter package covers all four sacred shrines: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Your first night is a complimentary stay in Dehradun with dinner and the next morning breakfast. From the next morning, you fly between each dham over five days, spending one night near each shrine. The route follows Dehradun to Yamunotri, then Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath, and back to Dehradun. At Yamunotri, the temple is 6 km from the Kharsali helipad, so palki service is arranged for the trek. At Gangotri, you land at the Harsil helipad, and a car takes you 20 km to the Gangotri temple and back. At Kedarnath, a shuttle helicopter takes you from the base helipad at Sersi, Phata, or Guptkashi directly to the temple helipad. The package includes all helicopter transfers, hotel accommodation with meals at each dham, VIP darshan at all four temples, palki arrangement at Yamunotri, shuttle helicopter at Kedarnath, airport pickup and drop in Dehradun, and on-ground assistance throughout. Personal expenses, donations, and anything not mentioned in the inclusions are not covered.
The Do Dham yatra helicopter package covers Kedarnath and Badrinath, the two most visited shrines in the Char Dham circuit. This is suited for devotees who have limited time but want to complete darshan at both temples. Your first night is in Dehradun, followed by the helicopter yatra covering Kedarnath on day two and Badrinath on day three, with a return flight to Dehradun on day four. The shuttle helicopter at Kedarnath and car transfers at Badrinath are handled the same way as the Char Dham package. The package includes all helicopter transfers, hotel accommodation with meals, VIP darshan at Kedarnath and Badrinath, shuttle helicopter at Kedarnath, airport pickup and drop in Dehradun, and on-ground assistance throughout. Personal expenses, donations, and anything not mentioned in the inclusions are not covered.
All helicopter operations for our Char Dham yatra and Do Dham yatra packages are conducted under DGCA regulations. The helicopters used on the Chardham circuit are operated by experienced pilots with extensive high altitude flying hours in the Garhwal Himalayas. Before each flight, weather conditions are monitored at every helipad along the route, and if visibility or wind conditions fall below safe limits, flights are rescheduled. Every passenger receives a safety briefing during the tour briefing session in Dehradun on the evening before departure.
Accretion Aviation has been organising helicopter pilgrimages across India, including Char Dham, Do Dham, Vaishno Devi, Shirdi, Ujjain, and Omkareshwar. Our Dehradun team operates on the ground at every helipad in the Chardham circuit, which means you are never without assistance at any point during the yatra. We deploy local ground staff at Kharsali, Harsil, Sersi, Guptkashi, Kedarnath, and Badrinath who know the terrain, the temple timings, and the logistics. Whether you are a family of senior citizens needing extra support or a group of working professionals on a tight schedule, we build the experience around your needs. Both the Char Dham and Do Dham packages are available on the same platform, so if you are unsure which yatra suits you, our team can help you decide based on your time, fitness, and priorities. Booking is straightforward. Call us or send a WhatsApp message with your preferred dates and group size, and our team will confirm availability and walk you through the details.
The Char Dham Yatra covers all four sacred shrines: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath over 5 nights and 6 days. The Do Dham Yatra covers Kedarnath and Badrinath over 3 nights and 4 days. Both packages start and end in Dehradun.
Both packages depart from Sahastradhara Helipad in Dehradun. Our team picks you up from Dehradun airport and transfers you to your hotel the day before departure.
We recommend booking at least three to four weeks in advance. May and June are the busiest months and slots fill up quickly during this period.
The helicopter yatra is specifically designed to make the pilgrimage accessible for elderly devotees. Palki and pony services are arranged at Yamunotri, shuttle helicopters handle the Kedarnath leg, and our ground team provides assistance at every stop.
The Char Dham package allows 5 kg per person, and the Do Dham package allows 2 kg per person. Duffel bags are provided during the tour briefing in Dehradun. Larger luggage can be left in Dehradun.
Both packages include helicopter transfers from Dehradun, hotel accommodation with meals at each dham, VIP darshan at every temple, a shuttle helicopter at Kedarnath, a palki at Yamunotri (Char Dham only), airport pickup and drop in Dehradun, and on-ground assistance throughout.

Carry a valid government-issued photo ID such as Aadhaar, passport, or PAN card. Char Dham Yatra registration on the Uttarakhand government portal is mandatory and must be completed before the yatra.
Mountain weather can change quickly. If conditions are not suitable for flying, flights are held until it is safe to proceed. We recommend keeping a buffer day at the end of your schedule in case of weather-related adjustments.
The temples generally open in late April or early May and close in mid-November. Exact dates are announced each year by the temple committees.
Carry warm and waterproof clothing as the shrines are located between 3,000 and 3,500 metres above sea level. Waterproof trekking shoes, a light rain jacket, a warm cap, and gloves are recommended. Avoid wearing slippery footwear.
